A fragrant emollient designed for topical application, it combines the moisturizing properties of a carrier oil with an aroma reminiscent of the Prunus avium fruit. Typically, it consists of a base oil such as almond, jojoba, or grapeseed, infused with natural or synthetic fragrance compounds to impart its characteristic scent. These products aim to hydrate the skin while offering a pleasant olfactory experience.
The appeal lies in its ability to provide both skin nourishment and aromatic enhancement. Historically, individuals have sought ways to enhance their personal fragrance through various means, and the integration of scent into skincare is a natural extension of this desire. Its use can contribute to a sense of well-being and offer a subtle, lingering fragrance throughout the day, unlike heavier perfumes. The emollient properties also aid in maintaining skin elasticity and preventing dryness.
