Tester feedback: “Due to time constraints (and the procrastination that leads to them), I seldom have time to get my entire body-care routine done, so I have run out of my home in a mad dash without applying any sunscreen on my body many times (gasp!),” says commerce writer Jennifer Hussein. “Vacation’s Baby Oil SPF 30 has turned into my sole non-negotiable for my daily routine because it covers all of my daytime body-care bases (as in, sun protection, moisture, and fragrance) with one lightweight formula. It dries down immediately, so I don’t even have to wait more than 30 seconds to put on my clothes after applying, but I will take a few seconds to breathe in its beachy scent.”

Best Fruity Scent: Oui the People Featherweight Hydrating Body Gloss in Orange Blossom
Why we love it: Our editors adore Oui the People’s Featherweight Hydrating Body Gloss in Orange Blossom so much that we just had to give it a 2024 Allure Best of Beauty Award. Its citrus scent takes the citronella-leaning fragrance category to new, sophisticated heights by pairing its citrus medley blend with soft, powdery florals that soften its usually sharp zestiness. This fragrant oil also leaves skin feeling soft and supple with the help of its conditioning trio of avocado oil, rosehip oil, and squalane.
Tester Feedback: “Love this,” Allure tester Talia Gutierrez simply declares. “The formula feels light both on its own and mixed with a lotion.”
Key ingredients: squalane, avocado oil, rosehip oil | Fragrance notes: blend of safflower, pumpkin, and pomegranate oils | Total scent options: 3 (Orange Blossom, Cedarwood, Fragrance-Free)
Best Floral-Fruity Scent: Chanel Chance Eau Tendre Body Oil
Why we love it: Chanel’s Chance Eau Tendre Body Oil feels just as luxurious as the label’s high-quality perfume selection, even down to this pick’s innovative spray-on dispenser. Just like the original fragrance it’s based on, this oil features an aromatic mix of juicy grapefruit, apple-like quince, and soft, powdery florals (jasmine and rose, to be exact) all balanced with a musky base. Its sunflower seed oil-based composition leaves skin feeling incredibly soft all day long. If fruity-florals aren’t your fave, Chanel has quite a few scented body oils to choose from, including a four-piece lineup inspired by the brand’s most popular fragrances (hi, No. 5) and a collection of four massage oils with their own standalone scents.
