AJA Botanicals by Tilly After Midnight Radiant Body Oil

We’re really not surprised to hear that despite the luxe price tag, this has been flying off the shelves of Tilly Wood’s website. It is, quite simply, divine. 

We were seduced from the get-go by the texture of this oil, which blends a slew of luscious, body-caring, sheen-boosting botanical oils, including borage, Abyssynian, rosehip, calendula, argan, jojoba and camellia.

But oh, the scent. You’ve got to sniff it to believe it, an exotic but not-too-heady combo of jasmine sambac, grounding sandalwood and airy neroli. (If Tilly brings out a spritzable fragrance with this scent, we’ll be first in the queue. NB You can already find candles on her ajabotanicalsbytilly.com website, so we’ve everything crossed.)

It’s particularly good on shins which are becoming dry and parched right now that tights are ‘wicking’ away skin’s natural oils and moisture – but lovely massaged into arms and the backs of hands, before bedtime, to enjoy wafts as you head slumber-wards.

So yes, it’s a lot to pay for a body oil – but if you’re feeling like a splurge…
