#FancyLadyThings: Oribe Côte d’Azur Polishing Body Scrub

November 3rd, 2017 by Karen 8 Comments

Oribe Côte d’Azur Polishing Body Scrub ($65 for a 6.8-oz. jar)

Hey, so I’ve been walking around for the past few days smelling like I summer at the family beach house and winter at the chalet (both untrue), and both houses in this scenario, BTW, are mansions (of course). Both have also been in the family for generations (ridiculous), and this is entirely because I’ve been using a fancy-schmancy body scrub, of all things!

Oribe Côte d’Azur Polishing Body Scrub is $65 for a 6.8-oz. jar, which is crazy bad for a budget, but hey, this is #fancyladythings. If I were a lady who lunched in Chanel suits and pearls, I’d keep a jar of it in my bathroom on the regular, no doubt.

#FancyLadyThings is a scandalous (not really) new series where we’ll talk about old money, family intrigue and fancy, high-end beauty products… Or, at least the latter.

You might be familiar with Oribe. They’re a hair care line known for their expensive and high quality products (I like their Foundation Mist, Dry Texturizing Spray and their Root Touch Up Spray), all of which come in very perfume-like scents.

To me, everything they make smells like it was envisioned by a world-renowned Paris perfumer who caters to royalty and Rockefellers.

Côte d’Azur has notes of jasmine, bergamot and sandalwood, so it’s bright and summery. Those are the official notes. The unofficial note — the only one! — is old money.

It’s a sugar scrub made of fine sugar, so when I rub it on my skin, it feels soft, not sandpapery at all, and, after I rinse it off, there’s a thin layer of moisturizing oil left behind, as well as a scent that lingers — I’m not kidding — for at least a day.

Not to say that it’s a potent or obnoxious scent. It’s just VERY long lasting. After I dry myself off, I can smell it on my towels, on my robe, on my clothes, and I’m assuming that if you keep a boy toy around for kicks, you’d probably smell it on him, too, after you smothered him with your naked bod (!).

Côte d’Azur scrub is currently at salons that sell Oribe, and it’s also available online.

Along with body care products, Oribe also does skin care, makeup and perfumes now (which are all relatively recent developments, like within the last year), so if you’re a fan of their hair care products, you might wanna check out those other things, too.

Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,

Karen

    Your post made me think, like at a deeper level, and I came to the conclusion that I’d prefer to smell like old money than like a nouveau riche. I envision the latter as fresh paint and loud car engine oil, while the former should smell like polished wood, a library with leather bound books and a rose garden with old ivy growing on the pergola. I’d definite go for that!

    Amusing post esp. the boy toy part… Oribe hair products really do smell amazing! It’s nice that body care is an option now. Happy Saturday!

    On a trip to SOBE in ’02, I walked by a photo shoot with the one and only JLo! However, I didn’t get excited until I saw Oribe walk over and tousle her hair in that oh so perfect way. I yelled “Oribe!” and when he turned to wave, I nearly fainted. (For those who don’t know what he looks like, Google Oribe Canales. Now you know what I mean.) A moment I will never forget.

    I got a sample of the Gold Lust Masque in the last Barney’s Beauty Bag and I am hooked. It’s made my super dry ends so soft, without weighing down my hair or making the hair near my scalp look greasy. I don’t even want to think how much it will cost when I need to actually purchase a tube. If I could find a drugstore conditioner that was as good, I’d be happy, but I haven’t found anything that makes my hair as soft.

About Makeup and Beauty Blog

Welcome to Makeup and Beauty Blog
Hi there! I’m Karen, your friendly neighborhood beauty addict, and I’m a Bay Area girl who hoards brown eyeshadow and covets coral lipstick. Every morning, I wake up and say, “I’m going to do something other than a smoky eye today.” Then…I end up doing a smoky eye anyway (most days). When I’m not putting on makeup, taking pictures of makeup or writing about makeup, which I’ve been doing daily since 2007 (!), you’ll find me hanging out with my hubby (“El Hub”), my four-year-old daughter (Connor Claire) and my torbie girl cat (Pretty Girl Rosie, a.k.a. PGR).
