to the body shop's home fragrance oils!!

and damn it they keep adding new ones to their line that are just sooo nice!
right now you save a couple bucks if you buy three but i had to restrain myself
by thinking of all the little vials i already have lined up on my kitchen shelf.

i could easily have bought three more...


line dried cotton, green tea and african spa were all lovely
i walked into the store thinking i would love orange blossom but i like the mandarin one better.
the papaya one makes you want to eat it it smells so good.

right now i have blueberry thyme warming on my oil ring () and my previous favorites
of calm water and tobacco flower get forgotten on the shelf. i don't use them that often.
if you came to my house you probably wouldn't even notice a scent.
i guess that's why i have so many bottles. i buy but i don't use them up.

anyone else addicted to this stuff?

Hit me up with some Line Dried Cotton.

what do you do with them? do you rub them on your light bulbs? do you need a special burner thingie?

hello beautiful!
yes... it was a nice gentle scent that doesn't knock you over.

Anx said:

you can spend a couple dollars or twenty on an oil burner like this


before oil burners there were lamp rings - the metal ones got too hot and gooey
and the terra cotta ones fall off the bulb and break
but i am thrilled with the felt rings i found - they warm gently,
you can reuse them for a long time and if it falls off the bulb there is no harm done.
and they are cheap!

I'm going shopping.

Whatcha think?

i like your first choice better... i'm more of a clean lines kinda gal
the dolphin is going to heat the oil too quickly because the bowl is too close to the flame.

I had a white dolphin oil burner like the one shown above. So that is what it was for... and those little bottles that came with it... now I know.

Perhaps, once and for all I will stop using these...



for more years than I can count...

BeforeSunrise said:

i used to use these...


now im strung out on this...





lasts at least a month, which the others dont.

and it changes its scent every few hours i guess so you actually dont get used to the smell ... i guess thats why they call them Febreze NOTICEables

Anx said:

i forgot to mention the even lower tech option... you just put a couple drops of oil on to a 60 watt bulb.
ughh... so yeah, i guess. without the rubbing bit

and not any wattage higher as the key to nice oil is to warm it slowly and for a short period of time

I love everything I get from the Body Shop- I got the Africa spa oil- I love the smell. I also love my cocoa body butter...YUM!!

Wow I think I'll try those

I have a similar jones: I add the oils to an old, clean t-shirt along with my fabric-softening dryer sheets. Adds a cool, subtle fragrance to my clothes and linens.

My name is Terra and I am a scented oil addict!

Pffft aw pleaze

I have an addiction to MAC make up. I sit there and convince myself that it is something I NEED rather than want.

The limited-edition oils which the Body Shop sell sometimes are traded on eBay like they're crack!

emm, did you realise that different countries sell different oils? I used to like their coconut body oil, but you can't get it in the UK now - but it's being produced somewhere in the world, because there's loads of it on eBay.

so I could've got squillions for the cranberry one I left at the restaurant after christmas dinner and the next day it closed down.

Look at this!

It's the elusive Body Shop coconut body oil and it's currently up to £7.50 for just 15ml.

I haven't been there in a while. I clearly need to go. Or not.

I love their perfumes. Indian Gardenia rocks my world.
