Didn't Take Me There
This isn't the worst product I've ever tried but it did leave me feeling a little disappointed. The initial aroma was fantastic but it changed scents once it was rubbed into my skin and faded away completely before long. The high price for such a small bottle isn't something I'm willing to pay in the future. I guess it's back to B&BW for me.Published: December 20, 2011
Pros:
Smells good initially, leaves skin feeling soft
Cons:
Smell changes then completely fades, price, oil texture is different
I was hoping that I'd be left feeling glowing after using this scented product, which I was careful to order in a scent I thought I'd enjoy: Lounging poolside at a beachfront resort. This scent is described as a coconut, vanilla, pineapple, slight gardenia and hibiscus blend.
When I first spray it on, I can smell the sweetness of vanilla and pineapple but the floral tones and coconut aren't really noticable. However, this smell quickly fades to one of a generic citrus type. While citrus isn't bad, I'm not sure why the body oil would smell like that and I am disappointed that the beach-y pineapple and vanilla are nowhere to be found because the initial smell is fantastic. However, after an hour or so, you can't really smell much at all so I guess it doesn't matter.
If you haven't used a lot of body oils, it sprays on heavier than a mist and I do feel the need to rub it into my skin. Doing so does leave my skin feeling softer and isn't greasy. This is ideal for after shower use.
The product description states you might use it to freshen air or linens but I find that a bit dubious because of the texture. I usually spray my mists onto my clothes and skin but I'm a little more wary about spraying an oil on my clothes and anything in the air will wind up floating to the carpet or tile so it seems like it might be a little slippery.
However, others have suggested that this type of product is great after shaving product and that's definitely a good use for it. You might also consider using it to smooth and fragrance your hair. The texture is not all that different from a silicone-based lube because it is made from silicone oils, jojoba oil, capric triglyceride and "fragrance". Unfortunately, that last ingredient makes it difficult to determine if anyone might have sensitivities to it.
At just under $15, I can get a much larger bottle of body spray than the 4.1ounce bottle offered by Not Soap Radio. I can head to a brick and mortar store and find a product that may not last all day but will not surprise me by changing smells so mysteriously and then quickly fading away.

Follow-up commentary
2 months after original review
I've started to like the smell of this a little more; however, it still isn't a very long-lasting product and the texture isn't my favorite.

which scent should I get?
-
It really depends upon what you like. You can go to Not Soap Radio's website and read the scent descriptions, etc. along with the ones in the reviews.
But the nose can be so tricky. I read where someone (forget who) had the bridal bath or shower stuff from this company and they talked about how it had a citrusy/floral scent. They then went on about how good the citrus smelled, etc.
I wanted a better description of the scent so I went to the company's website and started ROFLOL.
The scent was "honeysuckle" which is a very POWERFUL floral scent - not citrus at all.
I guess the nose can fool ya!
Good luck with whatever you decide to get. -

Sorry this didn't work well for you. I was excited to see a dry oil fragrance, as I got one a long time ago through Avon. The reviews on these haven't been so good though.
Thanks for the great review. Im currently using a dry oil spray that I love and wanted to try this one.. I still might but will probably wait awhile.
Great review, to bad not such a good product though
Thanks so much for sharing this review! I couldnt have saw it at a better time because I currently have the same one in my cart and am about to do alittle shopping. I was going to purchase it within a few minutes but after reading this review I will definintely not be purchasing it! U hate that the scent fades into a citrus scent because the scent desription sounded so nice!
It's sad because, initially, it smells great! Then, bam.. citrus. Like what?! Heh. Thanks for reading, guys
nice review.
Thanks for sharing your experience.
thanks for the review!
Thanks for the review
too bad thanks
I wore this today. Nice smell but it just doesn't last
Good review! Does it moisturize at all?
I guess, technically, yes and more-so than regular spray fragrances but I prefer a good lotion to the oiliness.
thanks for reviewing!
thanx
