Oribe Cote d'Azur Hair and Body Oil review

It’s not often I feature high end hair care on the blog as skincare is usually seen as a better investment for you £££, however I couldn’t resist featuring the new Cote d'Azur oil from Oribe.  At a somewhat eye-watering £62 a bottle, it’s definitely at the top end of the market, but the first words out of my mouth when I first tried this was ‘holy sh*t this smells AMAZING’ and it just got better from there.

Although they tend to be pricey, Oribe products are incredibly high quality and pack in huge amounts of hair-loving ingredients to each bottle. The Cote d'Azur Oil is no different - unlike so many hair 'oils', it's actually made up of oil rather than loads of silicone-based fillers, so deeply nourishes the hair when you use it.

Inside the bottle you'll find a mix of grapeseed, almond and argan oils, along with bergamot, jasmine and sandalwood scents. It has a very tropical feel to it - you can almost visualise yourself sitting on a beach sipping a mojito.

Thankfully it's not too oily, so won't weight down fine hair, but I'd recommend starting with one pump initially, before adding more. I tend to use one pump to smooth down my medium length, reasonably fine hair, but you can obviously tailor this to hair type and length. It also works really well as a hair treatment - apply a generous amount to dry hair, wrap up in a towel and leave it on for a few hours (or overnight) before washing off.

Oribe also recommend using the Cote d'Azur oil all over the body, but I have to admit I think it's a bit pricey to be slapping it on all over the place! That said, it'd make a lovely post-shower treat before a night out - it absorbs into the skin pretty quickly and leaves it soft and hydrated without any greasy residue.

You'll be able to find the oil from Space NK and Oribe stockists later this month. It's £62 for a 100ml bottle.

Do you like the sound of this new oil from Oribe?
