This oil really makes me look and feel like that “girl”. I use this on my face as a once-I -a-blue-moon treatment, and it makes my skin look glowy and supple. It really came through on my hair, though! It makes it so shiny and smooth without weighing it down - and it *grew*! My hairdresser was impressed and a little frustrated that so much of my roots were already coming through in just a few months. I just have to sing this oil’s praises. As always, the magic is without a doubt, real. I loved it so much that I feel inclined to buy just about any series’ hair/skin/beard oil.
Love the smell of this oil, the effects felt confident and calming. Very "I deserve" but not with a sense of stubbornness which i found very informative.
The Empress Skin, Hair and Beard oil is (in my opinion) a quiet powerhouse. It smells beautiful, has lovely packaging and is in general a delight to use. The scent is rich and nutty, but unobtrusive. And it delivers *results*.
I don't use it on my facial skin because my acne is very reactive to argan oil (among others), but it gets used for just about everything else. I mix it in with body lotion, apply it post-shave, mix it with hair masks, use a few drops on damp hair for nourishment, and place a few drops on my hands when I give myself scalp massages. If I was brave enough to use it on my face, I think it would be an excellent supplement to gua sha or facial rolling. However, where this oil has delivered the magic for me is when used as a cuticle oil.
I have thin, weak nails and a latent nail biting habit, that I've only managed to get a handle on in the past few years. Even after nail biting less, my nails would tear easily, and I struggled to grow them particularly long. Acrylics aren't even an option because my nail plate can't withstand the application. Beyond my nails, my hands were just in generally poor shape. I was regularly using good quality cuticle oils and treatments before using the Empress beauty oil, which gives a reference point for a remarkable difference. After honestly sporadic use of this oil for about a year, I now have to file my nails purely because they get too long. Visually, my hands appear healthy and elegant. I get complimented on them now, which I have never experienced before. My nails are shiny, smooth and frequently end up shaped *perfectly* when I file them, even if I'm not paying attention. Along with the visual and physical changes, I feel confident saying that my nail biting has truly been broken. A small Empress miracle
Man, I'm sad this one is gone. I used this every day for a while, and let me just say, the Empress glow-up is REAL. I now put a few drops in another face oil to get the magic by contagion. I have a lot of Empress items and this is probably my favorite.
I use this almost daily, even if I have to mix it with other facial or hair oils to make it last. It smells absolutely divine, though it isn’t anywhere near overpowering. I always feel and look radiant, alluring, confident and grounded after application. I will also never forget my first time using it; I ordered an Uber to a show, and clicked on the wait-and-save option, as I was going out somewhat early. The car that picked me up was a sleek, black Mercedez Benz with neon pink lights on the inside. I had to double check that I didn’t accidentally order UberLux and payed extra. It felt like a nice nod from Venus and a most fitting ride for the Empress I was now a vessel of. When used with intention to seduce (I usually am just grateful for radiance and embodying/reflecting love or sex appeal) I am always successful in attracting and sustaining flirtations by anyone I am currently crushing on. This is fantastic for attention and playful self-assuredness.
I like how subtle the scent of this oil is, I read other reviews and was worried it might be too strong. I've only used it a couple of times so far, but there is something that feels very comforting about it, almost immediately.
Has helped me to feel more confident in a time where my skin hasn't been its best (maskne has been a real issue).
I can not believe how amazing this oil smells. Oe of the top smelling items S+S has created. It’s so buttery and decadent, I could just eat it. A little goes a long way and I am sure this will last me a long time. I haven’t used the oil for my hair, but I love to add a little to my face serums and face oils. At first I was worried it would encourage hair growth on my face but then I let that go and there’s been no unwanted results from using on the face. I do love to concentrate on my eyebrows with it though. It feels like an incredibly nourishing and beautifying treat for my skin. I love every single Empress item I’ve gotten and this one is just so luxurious. Even the bottle is fantastic.
I wore this the day of a friend’s wedding and my hair looked amazing even though I spent the afternoon rushing around in humid Atlanta and didn’t give myself time to shower before the event. It’s the real deal.
Wow, this stuff is the bees knees. I am an actor and decided to dip into this oil, along with the water from this series, for a performance I had to give. “Charm” is not something I’m able to turn on easily, but this oil really assisted me in channeling a character rich and delicious! It smells phenomenal, and I find it picks up on my inner artist/freak in a delicate and easeful way when worn in non-creative environments. Can’t wait to test out at a luscious gathering soon.
I almost feel like I take this for granted because I use it every single day—to the point that I'm now spiking regular hair oil with a drop of this to try and go easy on the stuff. I don't smell the gourmand in this, it's straight up toasty hay + herbs I can't identify + a touch of citrus. Reminds me of the Chinese medical halls of my childhood in the best way. I use it fresh out of the shower on damp hair, and let my hair air dry. This also does a really good job of taming frizz once hair is dry (I have long, wavy hair & I live on the equator. Aka humidity central). Really grateful to be able to experience magic in such a mundane part of life, and I wonder how much this has smoothed my path in ways I don't even know...

As I don’t want to promote lush hair growth on my face, I haven’t tried this as a skin serum. But it’s aces for kinky, curly, dry, frizzy hair. It smooths, softens, adds luster and a nice scent (when it first landed, it smells almost resiny, but with time it’s gotten a little bit foodier). The oils are really nice; I don’t wash my hair daily and this absorbs/coats nicely, never ever looking greasy or dingy even after a second/third day.
Energetically this has felt like it bolsters me, also a little protective and nurturing. Wearing it out means things typically run smoothly. Huzzzahhhh!
This oil is like dessert before breakfast. The nest of super fine hair left after decades of chapeau wearing is tamed into a slightly curly echo of a punky peak thanks to this viscous delicious. The nourishment seeping through my crown is a rainbow way to wake up in the morning too. A jar full of go-go juice wrapped in bronze surrounded by Siddhartha. The Yummiest.
I love this as a hair product. It smells slightly of vanilla, and maybe cocoa? It smells sort of gourmand and now I’m just sniffing my own hair and hands. I don’t always love my hair because I have been blessed with a large amount of hair that is very pin straight. Feeling like I’m having a great hair day is not usual but this gives you insta-great hair day.
This oil is absolutely divine. I bought it for both my partner and I (he’s the beard-haver and we have both been obsessed with the way it has elevated both how we feel about ourselves and how we want to take care of ourselves. I have been fully shaving my head for 2.5 years, and as soon as I started using this Empress oil I felt inclined for the first time in a very long time to do something more intentional and different with my appearance. I started growing my hair out a bit and even died it pink! I am appreciating my appearance for the first time in a long time, and I know the Empress series as a whole (I’ve also been using the oil, incense and BPALs) is seriously aiding me in re-imagining myself and feeling empowered to express myself authentically. Thank you Empress!! Thank you Kaitlin!

This whole series is deeply transformative, but this hair oil is my favorite. A lot of hair products can make my can make my hair look dingy, but this oil makes it look luminous and shiny. It also helps with frizz that is inevitable for us curly-haired folk. Without a doubt it makes me look and feel better before I go about my day. It has also inspired me to start a beauty regimen and to start playing around with make up and glamour magic! Love it. Love it. Love it.
I bought this item specifically for my mustache and it is amazing. The oil smells divine and a little bit is all you need. Just the right consistency. Not only does it make me feel more attractive, it also makes my mustache softer, more glamorous and fuller. It really does facilitate hair growth, much more than I was expecting. This product is also great for razor irritation and dry skin, especially that flaky dry skin one gets around the mouth or under facial hair (“beard-ruff”).
I think that these magical beauty/wellness products are perhaps the most brilliant innovation S+S have produced, and I love seeing them alongside more traditional offerings like incense and candles. This oil is superior in quality to any commercial beard oil I have tried and the magical effects are very potent. It’s been a fantastic addition to my zoom meetings and I am looking forward to wearing it out and about when the time comes. I love the handsome and dashing energy it brings and I think that a lot of men would be thrilled with this product if they gave it a try.
