Smells that make you want to hug yourself.
A list of body oils you'll be obsessed with. All smell amazing. All feel like a treat. Not one of these is fragrance-free, because....what's the point?
Who doesn't want to smell good even when you're not wearing perfume? You want to linger.
Also, I'm over the whole "clinical, scentless, genderless" vibe.
Give me a scent. Give me a softness. Give me something I can rub into my arms before bed and still smell in the morning. I want to smell amazing even if I'm spending the weekend doing chores!
Anyway. Here are the 9 best-smelling body oils you might want to take a look at.
9 Best Smelling Body Oils That'll Make You Feel Amazing
Smells like. Soft, refreshing grapefruit spa day. Calm and clean. The one melts into the skin like a dry oil but doesn't vanish right away. The scent is subtle but still there. Like someone really put thought into making it feel expensive and not overpowering. Love, love, love the scent!!!
What's inside. Marula, baobab, and rosehip oils. No fillers. Just pure, clean oils that your skin drinks up. Why you'll like it. It's like the minimalist version of luxury. No greasy feel, just a smooth slip and quiet glow. Perfect for layering under perfume too.
Smells like. Orange creamsicle meets the sea. A little sweet, a little fresh, and very unique.
What's inside. Algae (yes, really!), passionfruit, acai, and babassu oils. Why you'll like it. There's this slippery, luxurious feel to it. It really gets in your skin and doesn't just sit on top of it. Slathering this oil will make you feel like you're on a yacht, even though you're just lounging around in your PJs at home.
Smells like. This one's woodsy, grounding, like you've been journaling in the forest. It's smoky but soft. The kind of scent that lingers quietly.
What's inside. Sweet almond oil, jojoba, and a whole bunch of grounding essential oils like vetiver, cedarwood, and bergamot.
Why you'll like it. This one feels personal. Like it was made for women who are growing into themselves. It's not flashy. Just steady. Strong. A little earthy hug. One of my favorites too, and I love the founder, Estee Lalonde.
Smells Like. Summer in France. Coconut, vanilla, warm, sunshine. You've probably smelled this on someone before and thought, "what is that?".
What's inside. Macadamia, hazelnut, almond, and camellia oils.
Why you'll like it. The scent sticks around. Like, really sticks. It's nostalgic and flirty and very French girl.
Smells like. The body butter, but warmer. Beachy caramel pistachio. If you love the OG Bum Bum scent, this is the glowier, oilier version.
What's inside. Brazil nut oil, coconut oil, and guarana (for firmness, allegedly).
Why you'll like it. It leaves a golden shimmer behind. Makes your legs look like they belong in a vacation Instagram. I don't even care if it firms, I'm here for the scent.
Smells like. Creamy sandalwood, soft florals, warm skin. Subtle but sexy. This one doesn't shout. It lingers quietly. It's warm, floral, and woody all at once. Like your skin just smells really, really good.
What's inside. Squalene, kukui oil, meadowfoam seed oil.
Why you'll like it. It smells expensive. Like the kind of scent that makes people lean in and ask what you're wearing, but it's just your body oil. It's lighweight but also deeply nourishing. No greasiness, just all day glow.
Smells like. Green, floral, and a little earthy and spa-like. Calming in a grown-up, grounded kind of way.
What's inside. A mix blend of 9 high-performance oils like argan, sunflower, and rosehip.
Why you'll like it. This one isn't just about smelling nice or looking dewy, but this feels like actual skincare. Like it's feeding your skin with so much goodness.
Smells like. Light citrus and something sweet underneath. Fresh but cozy.
What's inside. Plant-based squalene, jojoba, and a bunch of antioxidant-rich oils.
Why you'll like it. This body oil isn't just a body oil, it's actual skincare. It's nourishing but not heavy. So it gives your skin that healthy, reflective glow without looking greasy. You'll look as if you're glowing from within. It's one of my favorites!
Smells like. Warm almond, sweet vanilla, and a hint of clean skin. It's a warm, comforting scent. Not perfumey, just soft and soothing.
What's inside. Over 50% almond oil, with camelina and omega-rich oils to keep your skin soft nd bouncy.
Why you'll like it. It feels luxe. Silky, rich, and easy to use. It soaks in super fast but still leaves a soft sheen. You can use it if you want to smell expensive in a quiet way.
Body oils are that one product that feels like actual self-care and skin care in a bottle.
Your skin stays soft, your mood lifts from the scent, and you stop hating your elbows at the same time. These smell amazing and make your skin feel so good.
You don't need all 9 of these (unless you want to!), but find one or two that make you feel and smell good. You deserve that.
