It's a base oil with scented essential oils added to it. The scent is gone, but the greasy "restaurant kitchen" smell of the base oil remains in the shirts. Ugh!

Try vinegar in the wash and rinse cycle if it smells like vinegar to you after and the oil is out wash again
Ex was a service man and clothes smelled like oil vinegar helped but I don't know material may have been different that was a few years ago

Try soak the shirt overnight in salt and a little vinegar. Than soak the shirt in detergent (recommend cold power or surf) and wash as normal after. Make sure you hang out in the sun to dry.

vinegar is a natural degreaser, but if you just throw it in the wash with some vinegar it will come out smelling like a salad. Soak it in a sink full of a little bit (3 tablespoons or so) vinegar and cold water, soak it for 3-4 hours.... wring it out, rinse it, THEN throw it in the wash.... use baking soda with your detergent, the smell will be gone!

First cascade or 1/4 cup of dawn added to the wash take care of this. Next try to use massage oil that does not contain grapeseed oil. Wash right away.

I would hang it outside in the sun on a nice day. ALL DAY...
The smell will be gone at the end of the day.
Good Luck

There is also something called disol-vol, you add it with your detergent. It gets out everything!
