H’ana Bay Leaf Essential Oil - 100% Pure and Natural Bay Leaf Oil for Diffuser, Hair - with a Spicy, Herbaceous Scent (1 Fl Oz)ClimatePartner certified

Original review//I had high hopes for this but I'm sadly disapponted. Doesn't smell like bergamot to me. It has a strong "green" smell to it, like pine mixed with grass (or maybe lemon lysol like other reviewers were stating). There is a teeny hint of bergamot, but that's only when I try to sniff it out. I can guarantee that in a blind-smell test, I'd never identify this as bergamot. It isn't floral/perfume-y enough.Also, I dripped a couple drops on my palm to test it out and 30 minutes later my hand still smells pretty strongly. It now smells like McDonald's restroom soap. Maybe it's a plus that it lasts so long for some people, but I'd never experienced that with bergamot oil before, or most essential oils in fact. It usually fades faster. I'm comparing it to a freshly opened packet of Bigelow Earl Grey. Yeah this is not what I was looking for.I usually use bergamot in teas. I first bought Gurunanda bergamot oil and it was by far the best. Really potent and 100% bergamot smelling. I then purchased another kind off amazon when I couldn't find Gurunanda on the shelf. That one was less potent and a tad too lime-y but acceptable. I admit I have yet to try this one in tea but I don't have high hopes. I'll let you know if it turns out better smelling in tea.Oh I just realized that it reminds me of lemon grass. I have a bottle of it and it smells strikingly similar. And lemon grass oil scent sticks around for a while much like this oil. Weird. //2nd EDIT: Okay so I tried it in tea. The green scent mellows out in the hot water (evaporates maybe?) and it's kinda okay. Resembles bergamot. Although every time I open the container of tea leaves infused with this oil, I get a strong whiff of lemon lysol. Oh well.Bumped up my rating from 2 stars to 4.FINAL EDIT: 4.8 starsEdit: because there is no way to do a separate review for the rose, I'll add it on as an edit.Very strong and long lasting. Smells like authentic rose (makes me want Turkish delight). For example, I added a drop to a glass of water to test its concentration. I poured that water out and rinsed the glass. It still smelled like rose. So I rinsed again extra thoroughly and filled the glass with drinking water and set it on my bedside table. When I woke up and took a drink in the morning, it still smelled/tasted of rose. So yeah, it doesn't seem to dissipate easily.

Best smelling vanilla I ever had! Just bit pricy.

This smells so good and it helps keep the mosquitoes away.

EXCELLENT QUALITY LOVE IT!

This H’ana rose essential oil has a pleasant floral scent for use in a room. I like the aroma better when it has sat out for a while (less like grandma's soap smell). I use this scent as a potpourri to refresh the fragrance of real, dried rose buds in a bowl. Also, I add drops of essential oil to an absorbent coffee filter and place that on a little stand in a discreet place in my living room. Personally I would not use this particular rose essential oil on my body as I don't like how it smells on my skin. I'm still looking for a mystery rose oil to match the one I found in the 1970s that possessed an out-of-this-world superb fragrance.

This stinks if u like the smell of super heavy cloves or black licorice which I hate the smell of both. So disappointed I LOVE the fresh smell of bay and this gave me an instant headache :( definately not bay.Ok I suck I'm so sorry to this company. This is definately bay and very strong but its (bay rum) not (bay laurel) . I never have smelled bay rum and didnt realize their are 2 types of bay and it's supposed to have a clove scent to it. So I apologize profusely for the bad reveiw. I was expecting it to smell fresh clean woodsy like bay laurel. The bottle just said bay so I was expecting bay smell not bay rum. Even though I personally HATE the smell of bay rum this essential oil is very strong and true so if u like that black licorice clove smell this would work perfect for u it is very good quality oil just not my personal preference again apologises.

Misleading Labeling – Not a True Rose Absolute, and Potentially Unsafe for Skin Use!This is not a true rose absolute, despite being labeled as one. It's not essential oil at all! A real absolute is thick, amber-colored, and resinous. This product is clear, watery, and smells like a synthetic floral perfume oil, not an essential oil or absolute. I didn’t even open the bottle—just removed the plastic wrap and the scent came through the top. It reminds me of vintage British rose soaps or floral body lotions. Pleasant, yes—but not honest and potentiallyvery harmful.What concerns me even more is that the carrier base is unknown. It doesn’t say what it’s diluted in—and that’s a major safety issue. They claim it's safe for skin, diffuser, bath, and more—but if it contains synthetic aroma chemicals and unknown solvents, that’s dangerous for people with allergies or it could be irritating. Bathing in it or applying it directly could cause serious reactions, breathingit can evenpotentiallyworse. Especially if you are don't know it's not natural product and use it as therapeutic. If this had been marketed truthfully as a rose-scented fragrance oil or aromatic body oil, that would’ve been acceptable. But calling it a “rose absolute” misleads buyers—especially those looking for real botanical materials for natural perfumery or therapeutic use. This is being returned. I hope the company corrects their labeling for safety and transparency. Low Price Doesn’t Justify Misinformation!

Nice
