Patchouli Essential Oil

This oil is therapy grade and smells earthy just like you would expect. it's pure and you can use in oil burners, in your bath or add to a carrier oil to be used on the body. It's exactly what you need as an essential oil and a fantastic price point

I love the smell of geranium; it's floral but also quite herbaceous and reminds me of visiting greenhouses in my youth.About a year ago, I purchased woody reeds on amazon and began mixing various oils to make diffusers to help various rooms smell nice. I really love getting a whiff of eucalyptus and sweet orange just before I step into the shower, or lavender with vanilla when I walk in the front door. Now, I've settled on lemongrass and geranium as a welcome scent in my laundry room.This is a small bottle, but essential oils lose their power fairly quickly (it helps that this glass bottle is dark brown... will slow the ageing process somewhat) so I'd much prefer a small bottle that I can use within a few months, then replace, than a larger bottle.The bottle comes in a box that I think prettier than that of most essential oils so it could definitely be given as a small stocking-stuffer or other gift. The box was wrapped in tissue paper that I thought was a sweet touch, and unexpected for an amazon item costing less than 4 pounds.And how does it smell? Lovely! Probably not the best quality I've ever sniffed but for a home-made diffuser concoction, it suits me just fine.

I have an oil diffuser and am always on the lookout for any 100% essential oils.This Evanmore Lavender oil has an amazing smell, that reminds me of trips to Yorkshire Lavender when I was younger. I have so far only used it in my sample pot to test the aroma, and will look into what other fragrances I can mix it with to get the perfect smell.Very happy with this and I shall use this company again for other oils.

There used to be a shop fairly locally for years that sold mostly Indian cotton clothing and pretty items that always smelt of Patchouli, although I did not know what it was then. The scent always permeated the clothing which I loved.This oil has that same deep woody spicy scent and it does go a long way. I put a couple of drops in my diffuser (and bath) and it filled the whole rooms. Lovely.

Frankincense is such a variable essential oil that I’m not even sure that I know what it actually smells like.. I’ve used so many different brands, from cheap to crazily expensive, this one is well priced and smells nice enough.It’s a very fresh and light Frankincense, lacking the deep incense-like edge of some other products. I find this to have a pine character, like scotch pine needle but nothing intense.It’s very pleasant and I would be happy to use this in an oil diffuser but I wouldn’t use this if I wanted to add a frankincense fragrance to other products such as soaps, candles, bath bombs etc.. It’s simply too light and a little indistinct.

This little essential oil bottle arrived boxed hand wrapped in green tissue paper which is a nice touch, albeit spoilt by the large white amazon sticker. Unwrapping reveals a small darkened bottle which helps to preserve the fragrance, strangely I can’t find a best before date of use within so many months of opening symbol. I usually go for more fresher scent for a change I have gone for the more woody, earthy scent. The price of £3.99 for a 10ml bottle is good value.

When selecting which scent to review, I chose the frankincense as it's a scent I find very relaxing.On first look, this comes nicely packaged in a pretty box. The bottle is brown which will help protect from sunlight if left out of a cupboard.There is no Use within X months of opening on the box or bottle which is unusual.Now we come to the scent and I have to say it's really not the best. I am not sure if it's due to the price, or just that it's not a good oil, but I won't be using it which is a shame.

This bottle of chamomile smells quite strong making it ideal to make soap which tends to wear off quite fast. The oil arrived in amber bottle which makes the oil less sensitive to light.
