- PRECIOUS BALSAMS
A resin harvested from Boswellia trees native to the Arabian Peninsula and the Horn of Africa, once traded as one of the ancient world’s most valuable materials. Bright, citrusy and sacred. The scent of ancient altars, desert winds and whispered prayers.
Native to the Malabar Coast of India and once known as “black gold” for its immense value in global spice trade. Sharp, dry and invigorating. The scent of crushed spice, flickering flame and freshly ground fire.
A fruit native to Europe and Northern Asia, prized in perfumery for its tart, jam-like sweetness. Juicy, playful and bright. The scent of stained fingers, summer skin and wild sweetness on the tongue.
Aromatic woods long used in temples, sacred storage chests and ceremonial architecture for their dry, protective scent. Woody, crisp and grounding. The scent of pencil shavings, sun-baked cabins and the stillness of trees.
A fragrant herb native to Southeast Asia that became associated with luxury silk and cashmere trade routes in the 19th century, when merchants packed fabrics with patchouli leaves during travel. Earthy, deep and grounding. The scent of damp soil, worn leather and skin after rain.
A precious wood traditionally cultivated in India and used for centuries in religious ceremony, carving and incense. Historically so prized that sandalwood forests were heavily protected and regulated. Creamy, soft and meditative. The scent of temple floors, quiet breath and sacred stillness.
A dense aromatic wood native to the Caribbean and South America, prized for its naturally smoky scent when burned or distilled. Smoky, smooth and mystical. The scent of burning embers, aged timber and twilight smoke.
Derived from the cured seed pods of an orchid native to Mexico, first cultivated by the Totonac people before spreading globally through colonial trade. Sweet, warm and familiar. The scent of soft fabric, skin and childhood afternoons.
Aromatic resins such as benzoin, Peru balsam and tolu balsam, historically traded for incense, medicine and perfumery. Resinous, golden and enveloping. The scent of ancient scrolls, sunlit oil and sacred warmth.

SWEET ALMOND OIL (PRUNUS AMYGDALUS DULCIS)
A lightweight emollient rich in oleic and linoleic fatty acids, helping to soften, condition and smooth the skin. Almonds have been cultivated across the Mediterranean and Western Asia for thousands of years, with almond oil long used in traditional preparations for the skin and body.
JOJOBA SEED OIL (SIMMONDSIA CHINENSIS)
Technically a liquid wax rather than an oil, jojoba is rich in wax esters that help condition the skin and support its natural barrier while leaving it soft and supple. The jojoba plant is native to the deserts of the southwestern United States and northern Mexico, where Indigenous peoples traditionally used its seeds and oil.
AVOCADO OIL (PERSEA AMERICANA)
A rich emollient oil containing oleic acid and other fatty acids that help nourish, soften and condition the skin. Avocados have an extraordinarily long relationship with humans in the Americas, with archaeological evidence from Honduras showing human use stretching back around 11,000 years and a long process of cultivation and selection.
MACADAMIA SEED OIL (MACADAMIA INTEGRIFOLIA)
A silky emollient oil rich in monounsaturated fatty acids, including oleic and palmitoleic acids, helping to soften and condition the skin while providing a smooth, cushioned feel. Macadamia trees are native to the rainforests of eastern Australia, where their nuts have been gathered and eaten by Aboriginal peoples for generations.
VITAMIN E (TOCOPHEROL)
A naturally occurring antioxidant that helps support skin resilience and protect against environmental stress. The name tocopherol comes from the Greek words tokos and pherein, meaning “to bring forth offspring.”
CARROT ROOT EXTRACT (DAUCUS CAROTA SATIVA)
A botanical extract associated with carotenoids, used in skincare to condition the skin and contribute to a healthy-looking, radiant appearance. The cultivated carrot emerged in western-to-central Asia during the Early Middle Ages; the familiar carotenoid-rich orange carrot was developed much later, probably in Western Europe during the Renaissance.

THE STORY
FAQS
WHAT IS A DRY BODY OIL?
A dry body oil gives you the nourishment and sensuality of a traditional body oil without the heavy, greasy finish.
39BC PERFUMED DRY BODY OIL is exceptionally lightweight and fast-absorbing, leaving skin soft, supple and silky so you can get dressed without waiting around.
IS THIS A GLOW OIL?
No. 39BC PERFUMED DRY BODY OIL is not a shimmer or high-shine glow oil.
Think luminous skin rather than glossy skin: a soft, satin finish without sparkle or a greasy surface.
SHOULD I APPLY BODY OIL TO DAMP OR DRY SKIN?
Both, but the experience is different.
On dry skin, PERFUMED DRY BODY OIL leaves a luminous, soft silk finish.
On freshly washed, damp skin, it transforms into a delicate, weightless emulsion that helps seal moisture into the skin before disappearing into a velvety, dry-touch finish.
WHEN SHOULD I APPLY BODY OIL?
Immediately after your bath or shower is our favourite moment.
Massage it over clean skin while your body is still slightly damp, or towel dry first and apply it to dry skin.
It is the final step of the 39BC Bathing Ritual.
IS IT GREASY OR STICKY?
No. In fact, we made it for people who don't like body oil.
The lightweight formula absorbs rapidly without the heavy, sticky residue traditionally associated with oils.
Skin feels silky rather than greasy.
DO I NEED TO RINSE IT OFF?
No. This is a leave-on body oil, not a cleansing oil.
Massage it into the skin and leave it on.
CAN I GET DRESSED AFTER APPLYING IT?
Yes. The fast-absorbing, dry-touch formula is specifically designed to sink into the skin rather than sit on the surface.
Unlike many traditional body oils that can leave a heavy or greasy layer, 39BC PERFUMED DRY BODY OIL dries down quickly to a soft, silky finish, so you can get dressed without waiting around.
CAN I USE BODY OIL INSTEAD OF BODY LOTION?
Yes. Apply 39BC PERFUMED DRY BODY OIL to damp skin to help seal in moisture, leaving skin soft and supple.
If your skin is particularly dry, you can also layer it with your usual body moisturiser.
CAN I LAYER BODY OIL WITH PERFUME?
Absolutely. 39BC PERFUMED DRY BODY OIL was designed as another way to wear fragrance.
Wear it alone for a softer, more intimate veil of scent, or apply it before your perfume to layer your fragrance across the body.
DOES BODY OIL MAKE PERFUME LAST LONGER?
PERFUMED DRY BODY OIL creates a scented base across the skin and is designed to be worn alone or layered beneath perfume, adding depth and longevity to your fragrance ritual.
HOW STRONG IS THE FRAGRANCE?
Think of it as a veil of fragrance rather than a cloud.
The scent sits closer to the body than a traditional perfume spray, making it intimate enough to wear alone while also providing a beautiful base for fragrance layering.
DOES IT CONTAIN NUTS?
The formula contains Sweet Almond Oil and Macadamia Seed Oil.
Customers with known allergies should review the full ingredient list before use.
IS IT SUITABLE FOR SENSITIVE SKIN?
The formula contains fragrance and naturally occurring fragrance allergens, so if your skin is particularly sensitive, patch testing before first use is sensible.
The full ingredient list for each fragrance can be found alongside the product information.
