Gently, Gently Bath Oil

Recommended Posts

A great, warm hug of relief: snow-dusted carnation and sweet clove.

Gently, Gently is just the nicest combination of carnation and clove. Carnation is already a 'spicy floral' to my nose, so the clove really enhances that and brings out the peppery quality in fresh carnations. I don't pick up an overt snow note here, just the sense that these carnations are 'snow-dusted' as in the description. I will likely need more of this. Not only does it make for a beautiful bath, but this would be great for using as a moisturizer and layering with scents like Alice, Eclipses Be, and Clémence.

Snow carnation and a touch of clove. I definitely get both the combination of snow with the carnation, which tames the peppery quality of the carnation, and then the clove gives the carnation a gentle squeeze. Lovely.

Clove and carnation in an excellent balance, bringing each other out. I get very little chill or snow from it. I so wish it were a hair gloss!

Carnation at the forefront, some clove, and just a *tiny* hint of that slightly coconutty snow frost note - not the one from Snow White, more the one from White Bees Swarming. This is lovely! I really enjoy it a lot, three notes I really love, working perfectly together.

This is the perfect name for this bath oil, as it is indeed gentle. It is mostly a sweetened carnation with the barest hint of clove. Lovely!

Such a beautiful scent, all carnationy and clovey. Stays close to the skin. I don't really get the snow-dusted partof the carnation, but there is a little something that binds this together in the most gorgeous skin scent. It pairs well as a layering base with anything that has carnation or clove. Or chrysanthemums.

 

I've been wearing this with Delightful Visitors perfume and hair gloss, and it makes me feel as if I am wrapped up in a snuggly-but-not-too-heavy blanket, all safe and secure. I am hesitant to post this, because I don't want anyone else to know how fabulous this is. I feel like a child who does not want to share. If you are reading this and Gently, Gently is still available, and if you remotely like carnations or sweet clove, do yourself a favor and buy a bottle. Or several.

This is a perfect scent combo of spicy clove and lovely Carnation. ♥️ Truly beautiful! Used it on my shin as moisturizing oil. Can't get anything of the snow note though.

In a hot bath, the 'snow' aspect of this seems to float just above the surface, like the fog that forms in an ice rink

when outside temperatures/humidity are a bit too high. Afterwards, what remains on the skin is a delicately

clove-touched carnation. Simply divine! There's a rich warmth and tactile comfort to this that I can't quite pin down :think:

and can't seem to get enough of. Can't find me? Don't send out a search party just yet, I'm probably still in the tub! :wub2:

A nice dull (not in a bad way, just a gentle way) spicy carnation. Smells like a lullaby. So softly warming, like a cup of spiced tea. Would be so nice in the dead of winter.
