Well Worth the Field Trip: diptyque body oil

During these tight times just walking out of your door and getting into your car can bring about "spendxiety," especially if you're headed to Fred Segal Melrose/ RONROBINSON. Last weekend, there was a launch event at Ron's beauty boutique, APOTHIA, for diptyque paris' first body care line.
The brand's Managing Director Andrew Sedlock, whose mere presence diminishes "spendxiety," guided me through each little luxury: a hand balm, rich body butter and wash, and a body lotion. But it was the iris-scented (with cedar and vetiver) Huiles Precieuses Body Oil that put me over the edge. A friend helped me back over, as did the $78 price tag, which I tried to justify due to the fact that a little of this precious oil goes a long way.
Calmly and gratefully, I walked away with a generous sample. I've since found 4 additional justifications/ uses----hair, bath, cuticles, and fragrance----so now that $78 seems more like $20.
