Best body oil?

[AWafferthinmint]

I have been using the clarins huile de tonic (I think that's how you spell it?) but can't justify the cost any more. Does anyone have any body oil recommendations, preferably one that smells as good as the clarins, but not so expensive!

Get some squalane oil from Amazon and fragrance it with essential oils. It’s a brilliant body oil, sinks in & really works. I googled the clarins oil ingredients and they use rosemary, mint & geranium essential oils.

Thank you! Just ordered some, will have a mix tomorrow in the hopes of recreating the clarins oil

Great! I have made a version myself in the past, it’s the rosemary I love in the Clarins oil.

Have you looked at Nuxe dry oil?

I use the original (not the pink one) really like it, I found the Clarins one became to greasy for me after a while

Neom sleep one is nice as it Ren rose oil one. Both are quite pricey though

Yep I also use the squalane oil great stuff and not a bad price.

Nuxe original is lovely - often on offer in M&S

Thanks all, I have the Nuxe oil but am not a great fan of the smell. I've bought some Neal's yard massage oil today as it contains geranium. It smells remarkably similar to the clarins but is a quarter of the price!
