Saltair Body Oil. Luxurious Salt Water Vanilla After Shower and Bath Oil Moisturizer for Women and Men. Botanical, Non-Greasy, and Well-Absorbing Lotion for Hydrating Dry Skin. 4oz Pump Bottle

My most favorite perfume in the entire world was discontinued a couple of years back (Elizabeth James, Nirvana Rose), it was kind of devastating, as dramatic as that sounds. I’m known for that scent. I stocked up on it and in the last 6-months, I’ve been looking for my new scent, as supplies are beginning to run low. Everyone and their mother has had suggestions and almost all of them are similar to the signature, Le Labo Santal. Well, I have smelled what seems like every single something with “santal” in the title and haven’t found anything that just snaps.I have never purchased a scent online that I haven’t personally smelled in-person or experienced in some way, but I kept coming back to this product. I’ve been looking for a body oil that hydrates but isn’t super greasy. Additionally, I wanted a body oil that matched the fragrance of my body wash. I didn’t realize it when I started this search, but this is kind of a tall order!All the reviews are SO positive. I’m pretty leery at this point after my very long fragrance hunt, of anything with “santal” or particularly “cashmere,” in either the title or description. In my humble experience, this is often a dead giveaway to a scent that’s super generic, overdone and nothing special. I am so happy to report that I was wrong!If I could, I would absolutely soak myself in Saltair’s Santal Bloom scent. I would buy this scent in laundry detergent, shampoo/conditioner, hair spray, room spray, candles, you name it! I cannot get enough of this stuff!! It’s an absolute delight in every possible way AND it’s made my skin incredibly soft. I’ve been wanting to switch to an all-over body oil instead of a lotion and although I’m not positive that’s what the intended use of this product is (to the extent I’m applying it 😈), it’s exactly what I wanted. This oil is super light, it absorbs really quickly without leaving a greasy mess and I love the pump! Side note: how often can you say you LOVE the packaging of something? Yeah, hardly never. I love the packaging of this product!Seriously, I cannot get enough of this scent! I purchased the body wash, I'm about to order the dry shampoo - I’m extra, extra picky about hair products, so fingers crossed. Ultimately, I want this scent to radiate around me at all times. It’s not overpowering but it’s definitely not what I’d consider subtle, which I love. I debating even leaving a review because I don’t know that I love sharing my new found scent-obsession, I want to keep it a secret BUT I also feel for those who are in the exhaustive hunt for their new “scent,” and thought, “why not, maybe someone will read my novel-long review and it’ll be useful!”So here it is! To anyone that’s on the fence, if you took the time to read this review, then just do it! My man cannot keep his hands to himself when I’m wearing this scent and it has an impressively long wear-time. If you’re a guy reading this, if your lady is a tad sassy, brilliant, one of those people that others just gravitate towards? Yeah, get this for her, she will love it and you will get a whole lot more than just a bottle of skin oil, if you’re picking up what I’m putting down.I haven’t tried the other Saltair scents, I’m pretty loyal to one scent at a time BUT…I’m very curious. I’m probably going to look into the scent in the pink and charcoal grey bottomed next (no idea what they are called, look at the Saltair shop on here, you’ll see what I mean), as well as the new salt sugar-y scent they just released.P.S. Saltair people, if you read this, I’m totally game. I’m not joking, I want to soak in this stuff, it’s amazing - well done, team!

i dont think ive ever written a review so fast. this product is sooooo goood! its a dry oil, so like others have said once absorbed, which is quickly, it does not feel greasy at all. but what im most impress with is the smell. it smells SO GOOD! it is a bit strong initially, but perfect for me. if you are concerned about which to choose, id say youll first need to be aware of what scents you like. i know i like perfumes with a flower based scent, so i chose island orchid. best choice! also, you HAVE to use this right after showering when your skin is still damped in order for your skin to absorb it well and do its job. my bachelorette is in a few months and i will definitely have this as part of the baskets.

I thought that I had ordered the body mist and at first was disappointed. Once I opened it up and smelled the scent I really liked it. It’s got depth and actually smells like a salty vanilla which really works for me. I like vanilla but not like a sugar cookie vanilla, but more of a woodsy musky vanilla. The press top applicator is easy to use and it goes on smooth, gives just a nice shine and is not greasy. The way it feels and smiles is that of a very expensive brand. I put it over my lotion and it really locked in the moisture and made my skin feel hydrated all day. I am not disappointed.

Update: love, love, love Santal Bloom. I’ve used it a few times and it’s craveable. As stated below, it’s long lasting (I love the scent so much I wish it were more long lasting), moisturizing, and absorbs beautifully. Get this scent if you like the profile. It’s just amazing.Not sure how to describe the Santal Bloom, but it is certainly strong and long lasting. I could smell it on my bed shirt 16 hours later. I am new to floral smells, so I could be off, but I’m not sure I get a strong floral smells I guess it could be sandalwood. When you first use it, it has a floral smells, but then it quickly moves to this undefined smell, like I said, maybe sandalwood. I’m not sure how much I like it…it may need to grow on me, I’m at least willing to give it that opportunity. I will warn, if you are sensitive to strong smells, give this one a pass. It’s not quite headache inducing, but it’s on the edge.Golden Beach is 1 stars. The first bottle has a vague pineapple smell, but mostly just an old oil smell. I tried it a second time and the pump was defective. I sent it back and am not going to try it again for a third time.The Island Orchid version is a 3 star. Very strong, long lasting. Difficult to pin point which type of flower it smells like…I guess orchids is precise, and honeysuckle maybe. You have to love very strong floral smells to enjoy this oil.Love the Exotic Pulp version of this oil (5 stars). It is just yummy. It smells more strongly of guava than orange, but you can smell both. I ADORE the smell. Such a sunny, yummy summer or spring smell. I layer it with pink champagne EOS lotion, although I may see if I can just buy a lotion in that scent, it is so perfect.Pink Beach is gross (1 star). It’s supposed to smell like coconut, almond flower, and vanilla. I was really excited to get this oil, but was really disappointed. I couldn’t make it past the smell and headache it induced to try and wear the oil. It smelled old, rancid, and nasty. Vaguely like very old sunscreen. Thought it might have been a bad batch so I tried it twice. Both bottles were terrible.

I’m obsessed with this body oil! I had never tried one before but wanted something that might help with my bumpy arms. This stuff has done wonders for my skin. Even the next day my skin is so soft and still has a glow to it. I put it on right out of the shower and it absorbs quickly and is actually soothing. It’s not oily at all just feels amazing on my skin. Not to mention the smell! So so good!
