Linden Leaves Body Oil (all varieties) Review

I recently attended a Linden Leaves evening and was lucky enough to make one of these oils. I loved hearing the story behind the company and knowing that all the products are not tested on animals and contains no nasties. Also how amazing that these oils are all hand made with the freeze dried flowers!

The smell is amazing, a little goes a long way and it is easily absorbed to leave your skin feeling amazing

I got one of these in one of the BBBE boxes last year (sorry I can't remember which one) and was super excited when I saw this brand as I had tried their miraculous facial oil beforehand and loved it.

The presentation of the bottle is simple but yet so pretty and definitely stands out because of the large piece of lemon in it. I love anything lemon so was hoping it would have a strong scent. It definitely did not disappoint. If you love lemon scents you really need to get this oil as it is heavenly.

Unfortunately the bottle lid is a screw top with a plastic round piece with a small hole on the top of the bottle making you have to shake it a few times to get the product out. I think a pump top would work so much better.

The formula is really nice too, not watery or thin, I would say it has more a medium consistency but it is not thick like some body oils can be. It is nice and smooth and leaves your skin feeling really soft, hydrated and has a nice sheen to it without leaving a greasy feeling.

I did only give it 4 stars though as the scent does not last long which is a shame otherwise it would have got the full 5 stars from me.

I think the packaging of this body oil is absolutely gorgeous and would make a lovely gift. I have this in In Love Again and the name is really nice as well. The sandalwood is quite strong in this, which I really like and the oil is light and absorbs quickly. I find that the travel size is more than enough as a little oil goes a long way.

This oil is in a beautiful glass bottle and sitting inside it is a rose, the bottle has a nice pump top and easy to squirt this clear slightly yellow oil out. The sweet smell of rose and a ylang ylang are the first notes to hit me then it dies down to a sweet rose, this is a really nice fragrance. This is a really moisturising oil and it soaks in pretty quickly, so freshly out of the shower and the oil warmed up a bit in the palm of my hand and if my skin is damp this is easy to spread around. But dry skin and it just sucks in there and then and no spreading. I've used this on my face and neck as well as a body oil. This is a beautiful moisturising oil, I have put a couple of drops of this in as a bath oil and that's been great. I've found I've used it quite a bit as a face oil and putting a good amount on and just letting it sit on my skin at night that my skin looks more refreshed a little more elasticity in my skin. This is as natural and as organic as it can get, hand made not tested on animals and a NZ product and contains no preservatives, so that explains why it's pricey, but it's very nice and really makes my skin feel great. One of the best body oils I have used.

This is hands down the most beautifully presented bottles of body oil that I have come across. This is a pretty simple mixture of oils, sweet almond, apricot, rosehip and vitamin E infused oil. But what makes this gorgeous besides the scent is that the clear bottle has dried fruit and flowers in the bottles. The scent is also amazing. I first came across this body/massage oil when I was working at a spa and they used this to massage their clients. My favorite scents are Memories and In Love Again. Memories features beautiful red roses in the bottle and the rose geranium scent made me love rosey scents. Before smelling this body oil I used to associate rose scents as a scent for older women and grandmas. This smells more like a modern, light and fresh floral rather than heavily sweet, outdated scent.

In Love Again was the most popular scent at the spa and my fave. The bottle has dried tamarillo and and strawberrys in the bottle. The scent is fruity and bit sweet.

It is a massage oil it does need a bit a massaging to get it to absorb but it does work well as a body oil. This makes a gorgeous gift and looks stunning on a dresser or in the bathroom. The Memories one makes an excellent Valentine's Day gift and works out to be cheaper than a bouquet of red roses and more useful. I have given bottles of this to my sisters as Christmas gifts. It is pricey but a full-sized bottle is more than twice the size of other brands of body oil.

I absolutely love this oil!

I have this in my bathroom and use it sparingly after shower for the fear of running out lol.

This oil smells amazing! I love rose scents and this has a very strong lovely rose scent. The fragrance stays on your skin and clothes for ages.

It is great for moisturizing and also makes a nice massage oil. I have also added it to the bath to give it a lovely smell.

It is a little pricey but a little goes a long way and it does last a long time.

I have been given this product about four times, and I have to say it is always received well. Mostly this is due to the fact that it isan't a product I would normally buy for myself due to the cost and the frequency of use. However, it is simply a beautiful oil. The fragrance is Devine. The presentation makes it look quite special, as it contains a flower or fruit piece immersed in oil, and you just know it's full of goodness. It isan't greasy, your skin absorbs it quite quickly and it fills the room with a faint fragrance of roses (in my case).

My mum has a full size rose one - I have just read that they all contain rose oil but mums has a rose plant in it. I have tried it a few times on my face neck and the dry cracked heels of my feet with pleasing results and relaxation before bed. I enjoy the scent and it actually made me want to buy a good quality rose oil or perfume. She let me decanter some into a little container but most of it leaked next to my bed on my dresser sadly. I really enjoyed the scent untill I realised the dry down remaining scent smells like that old fashioned makeup smell - you know it's like that old baby powder type of heavy smell that is put into very cheap makeup that you get from $2 shops and stuff? I didn't notice it untill it had leaked out into the things on my dresser because it's a nice good quality old fashioned rose smell otherwise. As for moisturizer it's very good and feels luxurious. I recommend it for an older lady it's nostalgic and good quality.

I got this oil in a BBBE. I'm a fan of Linden Leaves and I loved the look of this in the packet so I couldn't wait to try it.

Firstly it comes i a cute yellow box with the sides open so you can see the bottle inside. The bottle itself is clear plastic and you can see the beautiful oil inside and what appears to be a slice of lemon. The bottle has a silver screw top and when it is removed the bottle has a plastic cap with a hole. This is not ideal for extracting the oil, but that's a small issue really.

The product itself is divine. It smells like heaven - warm and sweet and citrusy. It makes me feel relaxed. The oil is quite thick and soft and feels like comfort food on my skin. I've been applying it to my face every night and it is very hydrating. My skin feels quite soft in the morning.

All I can say is that I love it! It's so nice to apply before bed, and then enjoy the lingering scent as I drift off to sleep. I'm very keen to try the other flavours having tried the rosehip and avocado.

I highly recommend it and think of it as a luxury product. I'm not sure what this 60ml size would cost, but whatever it is it's worth it. I've been using it for ages and it's barely made a dent in the bottle.

I was lucky enough to try out the Body oil "Memories".

My Body soaked up that oil so nicely! often I feel like oils just become a layer on my skin, and my skin doesn't absorb it.. but this is just wow my skin just loved it, I even enjoyed applying it!

this oil wasn't sticky and annoying, it was really nice, it made me fall in love with Body oils! I think only Linden Leaves Body Oil is the best I believe. Oh, I want more!

Memories smell like Rose Water in a bottle, so elegant and refreshing on a beautiful summer's day.
