ESSLUX Sandalwood Essential Oil, Aromatherapy Essential Oils for Diffuser, Massage, Candle Making, Soap Making, Perfume, 30 ml

Great smell and a bottle lasts forever

Good

Low quality

Not good. The sandalwood smell is very mild. Won't buy again.

Well, I just received the order in the mail. I figured that I was about to get burned again because of the low cost but was pleasantly surprised when I did a sise by side comparison with the sandalwood that I usually buy from a very reputable dealer. I tell you the scent is spot on. I use a lot of oils and this santalum album from ESSLUX is legit. Great find in my book and will buy again and try some of their other essential oil singles. For the price a whole 30ml for $10 is a score. The only difference and it's a slight difference is the color. The ESSLUX seems to be a little lighter in color but same texture. The scent duration on my wrist seems to match up and fades at the same rate. The scent is nice and bold. Like I said, I'll buy again.

It definitely smelled like sandalwood. It is super strong though so use just one drop in the water. Hubby put 5 drops in and had to discard the water as the scent was overpowering. I filled the defuser with fresh water and no additional oil and the fragrance was still super strong. I turned the device off and the scent lingered for quite a while. I would say this oil is a very good value since you need so little.

Not as fragrant as I would have liked it to be.

Strong smelling, pure goodness

This product came beautifully packaged. That being said, I was shocked when I smelled this oil. It not only doesn't smell ANYTHING like sandalwood, it smells like potting soil - or like if you went out in the woods and dug up a pile of decomposing soil at the base of a rotting tree. I am stunned that it has so many high ratings unless I got a bad batch. I am a long-time user of sandalwood (by other brands) so I know what beautiful sandalwood smells like. This was nothing like that. I can't imagine anyone buying this on purpose. It's awful. Unfortunately, I had already opened the bottle and put the dropper in it before I actually took a whiff of it, so although I haven't used it, it's not eligible for return. I am so disappointed as I had expected it to smell wonderful. I had also ordered a bottle of Palo Santo in the same order. Palo Santo is a gorgeous fragrance but this smells like floor disinfectant/cleaner. Both fragrances from this company have wonderful reviews so I'm wondering if my order was subjected to prolonged heat which tainted them or what, but this can't be right. I can't imagine anyone intentionally wanting these two smells in their environment. They're terrible. My advice... smell them before using or putting the dropper in the bottle which invalidate the return policy. Am so very disappointed.
