I am a big fan of Sol de Janeiro for fun and effective products and I really enjoyed their Delicia Drench Body Butter that launched last year. Bum Bum Cream is still my favourite but I was delighted to hear about the new shower product in the DD range. Here’s the lowdown on the very lovely Sol de Janeiro Delicia Drench Shower Oil.
What is Sol de Janeiro Delicia Drench Shower Oil?
- A moisturising oil-to-milk body wash
- Works to revive the skin barrier and support the microbiome
- Intensely nourishes and hydrates the skin
- Features the uplifting, woody gourmand scent of the Cheirosa ’59 fragrance
- Suitable for all skin types
Delicia Drench Fragrance Notes
Top notes – Velvet Plum, Sugared Violet
Heart notes – Vanilla Orchid, Whipped Amber
Base notes – Sheer Sandalwood, Fresh Vetiver
How to use it
This is really easy to use. Simply massage the oil over wet skin and allow it to turn into a milky lather and rinse away after 30 to 60 seconds.
My Review
I really like the Delicia Drench Body Butter and I think it has a more subtle fragrance than say, Bum Bum Cream. However, I find the fragrance much more intense in this Shower Oil version. As soon as I snap open the cap, I can smell the Cheirosa ’59 fragrance and it is absolutely lovely. It fills the shower quickly and really turns it into a wonderful spa experience.
I love the soft and comforting violet notes in the fragrance. It is the perfect cosy scent for winter and like the Body Butter, it feels like a warm hug.
First Impressions
From the moment I opened the bottle, I knew I was in for a treat. As I already said, the scent makes itself known right away and you really feel like you are getting what you paid for.
The fragrance is super addictive fragrance and it brings gorgeous luxe and comfy-cosy vibes all at once.
The Texture
The texture is where the magic really happens. The oil feels silky and lightweight and it melts into the skin as soon as it touches water. As you massage it in, it transforms into a gentle, milky lather that feels super soft and nourishing. It literally feels like it is instantly smoothing out and softening the skin.
Unlike some shower oils that can feel sticky or overly heavy, this one rinses away really nicely but still leaves that feel of hydration and moisturisation. Your skin is left with the perfect veil of nourishment and fragrance.
Results
I think what I love about the Sol de Janeiro Delicia Drench Shower Oil the most is the instant softness that it impart on the skin. Immediately after use, my skin feels like silk—so smooth, so supple, and with a radiant, healthy glow. I almost feel that I don’t need moisturiser, but I am a creature of habit, and I ALWAYS need moisturiser!!
What makes it even better is that it’s not just a fleeting effect; the hydration truly lasts. Even hours after my shower, my skin feels super soft and silky.
Final Thoughts
The Sol de Janeiro Delicia Drench Shower Oil is perfect if you want to ramp up your hydration steps before you have even gotten out of the shower.
It’s super indulgent and very effective, and I love that it packs a punch with the fragrance. You could layer up with the Delicia Drench Body Butter if you wanted to, but the scent also layers really well with most of the perfumes I have used it with. It’s super versatile.
