This is a very nice bath oil. It smells very clean - it is not cloying or very perfumed. It’s as close to the fragrance of just cut garden roses and the accompanying aroma of cut stems. I read it’s a blend of seven fragrant roses and also includes crushed violet leaves. It’s a light, sheer fragrance that I find rejuvenating and centering. I also like that the bath oil does not leave an oily residue on me or my tub.
At the Jo Malone counter at my local Nordstrom, the clerk mixed up a little cocktail of this product with the body cream and used it as a hand cream on me, so I could get a rich moisturizing effect with the lovely fragrance. It smelled fantastic! Since I tend not to impulse buy, I went home and spent the entire day sniffing my hands. The fragrance lingered through several hand-washings and was even faintly discernible the next morning. Naturally I came back and bought this product and the body cream the next day! However, I'm quite disappointed in it at home. By itself, the bath oil adds a nice texture but almost no fragrance to my bath, and mixed with the body cream, the scent doesn't linger. I'm getting about 2 hours before it fades, and this is attested to by the rest of my family. Too costly for too little payoff. Also, I wish these bottles had flip caps, or pump tops. It's a real mess to open this and pour out the desired amount, because there is always a bit of dribble down the outside of the bottle.
