Chanel Coco Mademoiselle Velvet Body Oil

Some people really pull it out the bag when you have a baby and my friend A nailed it when Jim came along by giving me this and some delicious biscuits. Although I usually wear Coco rather than Coco Mademoiselle this is absolutely beautiful on the skin where maybe Coco would be a full on. And I love that if I apply this after the gym in the morning and then put on either Coco or Eau Dynamisante in the evening this will work with them rather than clashing.

I usually believe that body products designed around a fragrance don't really do what they are supposed to, even if they are from brands who usually deliver great skincare, but this is a genuinely good body oil. It is quickly absorbed, nourishing and comes in a proper spray bottle with a lid. No naffing about pouring it into your hands and back into the bottle.

If like me you have very dry skin then this is not enough on its own but as mentioned, I use it after the shower at the gym and it's just lovely and means that if I forget to put scent on I smell faintly of Coco Mademoiselle even by the end of the day.
