Magical "expensive" essence, like essential oil, is concentrated, slightly thick oil. I apply it on my body immediately after bathing on damp skin, a small amount. It creates fantastic layering with my body creams and perfumes, it matches with everything (white musk/caudalie au de vigne /prada infusion d'iris / bvlgari omnia crystalline). It gives amazing shine to the hair, it is perfect even after straightening the hair, it gives shine to the strands and doesn't make the hair frizzy.
