Doesn't make sense to use Osmo Polyx oil as the baseline when Osmo Top oil is the slightly friendlier and equally beautiful food-safe version.

Osmo Polyx is what I already had around from other wooden furniture projects, that's all. I try to not store too many cans of unused finishes around my house so I try to use what I already have first.

Top Oil indeed seems very similar to what I did (hardwax, drying oils, driers) but half of it is still white spirit solvent, which I'm guessing will give it the same smell as Polyx.

The closest thing I found to what I want is Walrus Oil Furniture Butter (https://walrusoil.com/products/furniture-butter) but I didn't know about it at the time.

Walrus product looks good. Here's another one worth knowing but may be difficult to acquire outside UK: https://workshopheaven.com/alfie-shine-hard-wax-polish-fragr...
