Bloem Lilac & Honeysuckle Body Oil
Bloem Lilac & Honeysuckle Body Oil
Steep in the flowers
4oz / 120ml
Lilac is such a nostalgic smell, it instantly brings me back to childhood and hiding under its fragrant branches. The scent of lilac is difficult to capture; almost all lilac perfumes are synthetically created as its aroma is not extracted into alcohol, but only into fats. Its fragrance is mild but true. Combined with Honeysuckle gathered only a week earlier, this is a beautifully soft floral body oil.
Body oiling itself is ancient. Anointing the body goes beyond perfuming or moisturizing though, there is something in the practice of it that goes deeper. We can dive into the power of touch (yes, even self touch), the benefits to the skin, the slowing down.
