AromaTech Santal Vanilla Aroma Essential Oil Blend: Luxury Hotel Inspired Aromatherapy with Amber, Vanilla, Cedar & Sandalwood for Ultrasonic Diffusers & Nebulizers - 0.3 fl oz, 10 mL

I've used a lot of Aromatech oils, with our rotating favorite being The Hotel. For the past couple of years we've used Holiday Spice around Christmas, but it's a very strong "Christmas" smell and doesn't really fit during Oct/Nov/Jan. I wanted something nice for fall and winter that isn't overly pine-forward. I think this is a great fall/winter scent if you don't want traditional Christmas cinnamon/clove/etc. My wife and daughter both really like it, so it's a winner.I expected this particular scent to be very woody and smoky, so I was kind of surprised when I opened the bottle and smelled a blend of sweet and smoky marshmallow/cocoa notes. After adding it to the diffuser it opened up quite a bit and I was able to smell more complexity and it really grew on me. It's hard to explain, but imagine hot cocoa, toasted marshmallow, and pleasant underlying smoke that is definitely reminiscent of sitting around a warm campfire with family. It's not cloying or super sweet as you might expect from reading about marshmallow or hot cocoa notes, and doesn't smell artificial at all. It's several subtle scents blended together and it's quite nice. The smoke note is warm and slightly woody, the only way I can describe it is less like "burning black smoke" and more like "warm white campfire smoke".Some Aromatech oils are very strong and can be incredibly overwhelming in a small space (Santal, looking at you) but Campfire is less intense and works well in any of the diffusers (we own the HVAC one and the smaller BT one) to cover your home with a nice warm scent that can be used from October through January.I've seen some reviews that are very negative about this scent, which is sort of puzzling to me. I definitely was expecting something smoky and woody based on the name, but I wasn't upset by what was in the bottle. I have sampled or purchased about 80% of Aromatech oils, and this is definitely one of the better ones I've smelled for the season. Some can be very reminiscent of perfume/cologne, but this is a great warm home scent that makes me think of past holiday memories.

Love the smell and how it burns.

Have always loved these oils. Never had a problem till now. Recieved my shipment and once I opened the container which said the vanilla bourbon on the outside the oil on the inside was the hotel. Still amazing oils.

On my 50th bottle of Aromatech scents. Seriously have an addiction to Santal Night. But so disappointed right now. The past three scents have not been for me - fine, that’s on me for trying new ones over Amazon. But now I’m awaiting a new one and it’s been more than 10 days, I keep getting delayed notifications;, I’m starting to feel like maybe I should try different brands. This will be my fourth “experiment” into a new Aromatech scent IF I ever get it. I’m so frustrated right now because I have spent a ton of money with this company, the least it can do is get the product to me. If this one is a dud too, I’m out. Finger’s crossed it arrives someday and smells good. I feel like after spending literally hundreds of dollars, decent delivery times and consistent quality are not too much to ask. If you don’t want cologne smelling scents stay away from Santal Escape and Dubai. If you don’t like old perfume smells, stay away from Love Affair. Grand Ball and Hotel are awesome, decadent scents that just make me feel luxurious. Would really love to try Champagne/Amber if they’ll ever send it to me.UPDATE August 29, 2022: I am still in love with this scent. I’ve ordered Dubai, Love Affair, og Santal; this is still my go-to and third bottle. I am removing a star because of the shipping. The last two times I have ordered this product, my package goes missing in transit. It makes no sense and has not happened with any other packages. Is it this seller? I am baffled and annoyed. Not a huge deal in the grand scheme of things but frustrating nonetheless as each time, I have to get a refund and re-order it. Sometimes I get it, sometimes I don’t.****** original post*****My home smells lovely and refined. I expected muskier, sexier; but this is amazing on its own. I can’t describe it other than elegant without being stuffy. Imagine a trendy boutique hotel but not the flowery lobby, the exquisite suite. I’m excited to try more!

I love Aroma tech I use their scents in my business and home, but this one was a complete fail! I religiously use Santal in my salon lobby and my clients always complement and even take pictures of the bottle to buy for themselves but the Santal night was not a good one, I'm really bummed I bought a 150 ml bottle and I cant have my salon smell like this... :(

This fragrance smells so good! I've always been a Santal 33 fan, now I use this one too.

This has a very nice smell to it. I wasn’t certain whether I’d like it because I bought another one from them that was highly rated and it turns out it wasn’t my thing lol. But this is definitely giftable and lovely. My only concern is the safety of these oils. I don’t know if it’s something that I’d want to use often around my family and pets, maybe for special occasions. I know that it’s synthetically made and I can’t speak to what chemicals that has, such as Endocrine disruptors, etc..but it definitely does smell very nice.

Smelled amazing in the 10ml size bottle (have repurchased in this size several times). Finally decided to purchase the next size up and it smells COMPLETELY different. The 10ml size has a warm vanilla bourbon scent without the nauseating sugary notes. The 120ml smells way too sweet and instantly gives me a headache. Extremely disappointed as I was looking to save money by buying the larger size (in the long run). Stick to the smaller bottles.Edit: I reached out to the company, apparently they changed the formula, that’s why the scent differs. If you have purchased this scent previously and loved it, treasure it. It smells nothing like it once did. Extremely sad.

I like the fragrance

Everything I hoped for and more. It instantly infused the house with a luxurious scent! Will buy again.

Only gave it three stars not because I don't like the scent. Its very nice. The reason being for the price of this product it is very watery and in order to actually get the scent thru-out the room you have to add quite a few drops to your diffuser. I had to add 15 to 16 drops which having to do this I cant see this bottle lasting too long. I would have expected the liquid to be thicker. Would I buy this product again, I would have to say NO. Way too pricey. I have used much cheaper essential oils with better results.

I ordered the santal night and I assumed it was going to be earthy, smokey etc as described in the description but when I received it, there’s the strongest smell of honey and it smells very sweet. Not sure if I love it or hate it. Going to test it out and see if maybe it’s just because it’s a strong concentration compared to being put in an essential oil diffuser but still dissatisfied with what I was told and what I received.

The product arrived opened - likely some return that didn't like the scent. Purchasers, check your packages upon arrival to ensure your safety.Also, it smells awful.
