This is a bit like DHC's cleansing oil, but for the body! It's a light golden, fragrant liquid which emulsifies upon contact with water. Main ingredient in here is antioxidant-rich Grapeseed oil and a few other goodies too. I love the fragrance but it does seem to have been toned down since I last used this some years back. Unlike many of the other L'Occitane shower and hand cleansing formulations, this one does not leave your skin feeling dry. However I sometimes find it a bit too emollient as a shower product and tend to use only in winter when my skin can really use the extra boost of hydration, especially my lower legs. I follow with the 'Almond Supple Skin oil' to really lock in that moisture. Personally I love the scent in here but it may not be for everyone! -> My ‘Nordstrom Beauty Top 7 must-have list’ (My 7 favorite beauty products of all time, focusing mainly on my purchases at Nordstrom) <- < 1.

The first time I enjoy a body wash Smooth and smelling so good I’ll keep buying it
I love the almond fragrance of this shower oil. It's luxurious and makes my dry skin clean and soft. It's also very effective for removing long wearing, water resistant sunscreens. The only down side is that it's a bit pricey.

Does not smell like almonds in the best way

I had seen this everywhere for years but never been tempted to try it because I assumed the scent would be too almond forward (like almond extract), but after receiving it as a gift I’m thoroughly impressed. The scent is definitely almond, but in a floral way instead of a gourmand way. Also does a great job at cleansing and hydrating but I’d buy it again just for the scent.
