- AromaTech Santal Aroma Essential Oil Blend: Luxury Hotel Inspired Aromatherapy with Amber, Vanilla, Cedar & Sandalwood for Ultrasonic Diffusers (4 Fl Oz (Pack of 1))

Here is my review for both Santal and London. SANTAL: This scent is unbelievably nuanced. I put one single drop on the cardboard Amazon box that it came in. At first, it was very peppery and almost chemical in odor, like overripe fruit. This was disappointing. I placed the box in the garage so that it would not stink up my house. I figured I would just return the vial. However, the next morning, I went to grab something from the garage and overnight, that single drop perfumed my usually dank garage with something unearthly. This scent is somehow both clean and sensual. It also achieves something that is very traditional yet extremely modern. Based on my subjective sense experience, the spicey notes are very heady (without being overpowering) and the mid tones are somewhat fruity-musky. Today is day three, and it now sells CREAMY, like very expensive santal. I would like to add that, while this scent is almost unisex, it is decidedly feminine. LONDON: I ordered this one expecting something a little bit more accessible (immediately likable). Based on descriptions, I thought it would be more smokey and sweet. Replicating my experiment with Santal, I just put one drop on cardboard and left it in my garage. Initially, there was an overpowering medicinal spicy/herbal scent that was altogether off-putting. Not gonna lie: it made me think of Bengay. So, whereas I was hoping it would smell like a cool hip English lounge filled with yuppy dudes who just came in from having a nice cigar (I know, oddly specific, but that’s how it’s marketed), the reality was that it made me think of a retirement home. Oh well. Off to the garage it went to do its thing. A few hours later, it smelled like a barber shop: somewhere between Bay Rum and Old Spice original - a marked improvement. Then another few hours later, I could start smelling the smokey/leathery/sweet notes. It is still day one of this scent, and I’m excited to see where this goes! I am definitely impressed that both of these have changed so much over time. It’s very potent stuff, and I almost don’t want to put it in a diffuser just because of how nice it is on a frickin’ piece of cardboard. That is straight up alchemy.

The Santal scent is AMAZING!! I have loved this smell everytime I’ve experienced it but never knew what it was called. Now that I found out the name and bought this oil, I’m hooked. My house smells so clean and spa like. It’s perfection. Takes about 5 drops in my diffuser and my entire house smells divine.

This is a wonderful scent!

Keep your house smell fresh

Whew! This product is amazing. There's honestly nothing like it in the home fragrance category, it will truly bring your space to the next level... BUT to get the AMAZING, CLEAN, LUXURY smell- please see my recommendations below. 1) CLEAN your Diffuser - I mean CLEAN IT! I was a complete dunce and diffused this without thoroughly cleaning my diffuser. I have previously diffused oil bends back to back by just simply rinsing the water compartments, or just layering similar blends back-to-back and they turned out just fine. This scent is so delicately blended, any little residual scent will completely throw this off to the point where it is nausea inducing or alter the scent profile. Before using this oil make sure you THOROUGHLY clean your diffuser with part alcohol and water. I made the mistake of just rinsing my diffuser out after diffusing a beachy sandalwood scent, and it completely threw this one off to the point I gagged and initiated an amazon return. I realized my mistake, cleaned it out with part rubbing alcohol and part water and WOW! It blew me away. 2) RATIOS matter! I don't see how folks are getting the "cologne smell" unless they are just dumping this into their diffusers by the tablespoon. Sandalwood is meant to be light and experienced in "whiffs," not permeating the air like a canned air freshener. Yes, the smell is strong and heavy in the bottle but you are meant to use so little of it in the diffuser, you should not be getting the "bottle" scent once you begin diffusing. For a light clean smell I recommend about 1 baby drop per 20ml, not drop as in the entire pipette. CONS- My only gripe is the price. However- this beats out all home fragrances I have tried. I have purchased a few more scents in the smaller bottles. Once I decide which one I want as my "daily driver" I will buy the 16oz which comes in under $4/bottle.

Such a beautiful scent!!! I love it. It's pricey, but it smells incredible and is worth every penny, and a little goes a long way. I put a few drops in a mister every morning, and the scent permeates the air all day, and I get so many compliments on it.

I went down a rabbit hole trying to figure out the scents of bougie hotels such as the Ritz etc. whenever I walked in, I always loved the scent so I wanted to recreate this in my home! I finally found a scent that resembles just that! I put just a few drops in my diffuser and it scents the whole house. Everyone that walks in asks what it is - it’s that good! 😊

I have been buying Santal since October of 2023 and this last order the scent smells quite a bit different. I believe they have changed the formula which is a bummer. It now has a floral undertone which smells okay but it is not like the original scent. Thinking about returning the item and trying something else.

Seen rave reviews about this product/ scent all over TikTok and after reading some of the one and two star reviews on here with some people saying it smells like old grandma perfume or crayons.. even pickles.. I was sceptical but added to cart anyways because I was soo curious. Even more curious because it seemed so many people love it but I guess it doesn’t smell the same to everyone. Such different explanations on how this scent smelled. I was intrigued by that fact alone. How could everyone be describing the smell of this so differently? Let me just say I DO NOT REGRET MY PURCHASE! I can’t believe how amazing this smells!!! It’s a bit strong right out of the bottle but I couldn’t stop taking a whiff of it. I have never smelled anything like this. It’s very unique, sophisticated and mysterious. Best way I can describe it is that it is very woodsy/musky with a tiny hint of vanilla. I am a female and I would say that it’s a bit more leaning towards a masculine scent but I also see it as a unisex fragrance. I’m diffusing it in a water diffuser and a few drops is all you need. This stuff smells like heaven in a bottle!!! No joke. I’m just so happy I got this because I want my whole home to smell like this every single day. I would even wear it on my skin… it’s that good. But I really think everyone should get a chance to smell this. It’s that special ❤️ Fast delivery and came in a nice little container (pictured), Well sealed and well packaged. I know when I run out, I will repurchase. Simply amazing stuff. Thank you. I’m one happy customer. 😊

Such a pleasant, clean zen like scent!

Lovely scent

I own a cannabis dispensary which has many different smells. This oil makes my entire store smell incredible the second the front door opens

I rarely do reviews but this is a must! Warning if you start buying this you will be addicted and unable to buy anything else! This is an expensive addiction haha! I have a wellness center and Ive been trying to find my staple smell for the place! Well this is IT! Ive never had so many compliments on a smell. Everyone who walks in is immediately in love with the scent of our place! I dont know what I will do if this doesn’t exist one day! I cant explain the smell its pure magic! Now I use a regular water diffuser and works great! Smells all day
