If you don’t love creamy, thick body lotions or butters (or don’t love fragranced body lotions to begin with), you probably already have a body oil in your rotation. They’re hydrating yet tend to absorb faster than a cream, and are undeniably luxe. Phlur’s version has a base of floral oils and squalane, yet feels lightweight and non-greasy. I like to apply body oils right out of the shower on slightly damp skin, and I felt like I was a bathing beauty in a Grecian bathhouse. The musky floral scent was identical to the perfume I knew, and I loved how it lingered as the oil absorbed and hydrated my skin. Not all perfumes automatically translate to body oil form, but Missing Person was tailor-made for an oleic makeover; it’s supposed to smell sensual and familiar, and there is no delivery system more sensual than a body oil, IMO. I’m a nighttime shower-er, and I felt like the most beautiful, romantic version of myself going to bed softly scented with Missing Person. (I love sleeping in my birthday suit, so I consider it our modern-day Chanel No.5 at this point.)
