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.

extremely useful review
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
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.
