Soleil Blanc Shimmering Body Oil

I have seen this body oil everywhere and bought it under the impression that I would spray it on my skin and be in goddess-esque aroma bliss. Let's just say this fell a little short of my expectations. I didn't sample it in store before buying (Covid, masks, you know the drill), and got home eagerly awaiting to smell and look like a model that just walked out of the pool. Instead, I smell like my grandmother geared up for a safari. The moment I sprayed it, I instantly got bug spray vibes, mixed with an expensive hotel. It's like walking into the lobby of a 5 star hotel and you get that sickening whiff of expensive perfume that's overpowering but you feel expensive being in its presence. Except you have to smell like that... all day. The shimmer is cute, it's subtle, and would look gorgeous on tanned skin. But if you're a scent person, definitely smell beforehand. Of course I'll keep using it because I'd rather smell like my safari going grandmother than waste $100, but it's safe to safe this will not be a repurchase.

Omg I waited for this to come back in stock and snatch one up. The pictures doesn't do it justice on how beautiful the sparkles are. It's definitely not an everyday spray, but would be great in the summer at the beach, or a sexy night on the town. I'm a WOC and this just makes my skin look like a sparkling Nubian goddess. It has a very clean scent. I think the scent last long it's just not strong, if that makes any sense. I will be ordering a back up one soon.

I experienced 2 problems with this product. 1.I had hoped that this oil would sink into my skin as well as enhance it because of the "shimmer". It does not and the "shimmer" rubs off on furniture and clothing. 2. The bottle's applicator which is a pump spray, becomes very slippery and it's difficult to keep the pump's aim in place. I was still willing to use it but now it has become clogged and does not disperse any oil. Plus the top can not be unscrewed to allow me to pour it out into my hand!

I love love love this product. It is really three things--first is is a fragrance so you must like the fragrance to want to wear it, second it makes your skin shimmer, which is great for me, especially at night when I wear black--this adds a special touch and finally it is an oil. A very light oil, not a moisturizer on it's own, but good to know if you don't like any oils on your skin.
