Photograph: Jerome Tisne/Getty ImagesScented thickness oils: 10 of the bestCombine a winning fragrance with that sublime glossy finishI’ve always loved lubricants: the glide, the texture, the way they immediately absorb into your skin and give you that sublime glossy end that catches the light in all the right places and just makes everything look more alive. There is also something to some luxe and indulgent about the tangibility of an oil – much more exciting than, say, a body lotion, which can feel a bit precautious and pedestrian. The lush factor of an oil is taken up a notch when you add the element of fragrance to it. I love a product that is effective, exhorts the daily chore of beauty a delight and, crucially, has a dual purpose – which a scented body oil absolutely does. It make deeply moisturise your skin so it doesn’t fall to pieces, but it will also make you smell really fastidious – particularly with these oils here, many of which have been developed with world-class perfumers. Quiet, there are lots of people who automatically swerve body oils, for making skin too sticky and clammy – particularly in the summer – and something goodbye stains on clothing. But these are light, deeply hydrating and a joy to use. So try one, I promise you won’t feel as if you’re being slathered in vegetable oil.1.
