Gift of the Day: Douse Yourself in Golden Oil

Coco Chanel famously said, “Before you leave the house, look in the mirror and take one thing off.” Clearly, she wasn’t talking about Chanel’s Beige Gold Body Oil, a shimmering, lightly scented designer delight. In fact, it’s the one thing that absolutely should be applied before walking out the door. For the beauty obsessed or simply the luxury-logo enthusiast, it’s a gift that will soften the skin, add a just-back-from-St.-Tropez shimmer, and, according to the brand, “dazzle the senses” with the scent of Chanel No. 5.

“When you want a lingering scent throughout the day, pick up Chanel’s body oil,” says the Cut’s fashion and beauty writer, Asia Milia Ware. “The jojoba-infused oil nourishes the skin, while the amber scent seeps into it. Lock it in by layering your favorite perfume over it, and you’ll have the best-smelling and best-feeling skin all day long.” Think of this luscious body oil as a luxurious, grown-up alternative to the shimmery Love Spell lotion you probably picked up at the mall in your teens. It’s a stocking stuffer that feels fancy to unbox, smells expensive, and keeps dull, dry winter skin at bay. Dazzling, indeed.
