This is all new to me so not really all that clued up on essential oils.Wanted to try my hand at making my own pre-shave oil, found a recipe that included sandalwood (love the smell) and after wasting my money on a lesser product (not a lesser price though) eventually found Gya sandalwood and fair play the smell, the longevity of this oil is awesome. Love it, really impressed.As I said I did buy another product before this one (naissance sandalwood) and there really is no comparison whatsoever, this Gya sandalwood is by far the superior product.So if like me you ain't sure which make to purchase hopefully you'll find this review and it'll help you make the better choice (and save you some money too).So from my very limited experience I would happily and confidently recommend this product.

I had this oil for two years now and is the real deal. The smell and quality of the oil is still very good and it didn’t suffer to much oxidation. This one really have a nice sweet tone followed by earthy wooody smell . I had few other oils but they were expensive and synthetic. I love using few drops of it on my skin and jacket followed by couple of sprays of Tom Ford Oud Wood. Mixing them both really makes an amazing sent that lasts for days.

I have bought sandalwood oil from over 20 different brands and they are all different, it's hard to know what sandalwood is supposed to really smell like. This is one is nice and I do get a wood scent from it but on the weak/subtle side.

I have purchase SANDALWOOD essential oils before and the majority of them have smelt like Eu De Cologne if I have to be honest! I always wondered if that was REALLY the smell of sandalwood or was I being duped... well, I am "happy" to say I was being duped! Because this one by Gya Labs seems to be the REAL thing. I recently purchased sandalwood sticks, and they smell exactly the same... So if not for the smell and the texture, Im not sure what else to look for that will spell "genuine" to me?! ... Thanks!! :)

I ordered a whole bunch of essential oils & other ingredients to make my own home made beard balms.I thought the price of beard balms were just too expensive to be buying as often as i needed them (i have medium size beard, but my beard is thick. I use a heaped thumbnail size amount, sometimes 2) to coat my beard properly, and fully - i am quite heavy handed and do sometimes use too much - which is what can make it expensive.So buying the ingredients, and making my own is a far more cost effective way of keeping my beard soft, conditioned and under control. The essential oils all play their own part in providing nutrients to my skin and beard, and can help against itchy, flaky beards. And depending what ingredients go in, the balms can be used at night or day, and each have their own benefits - from conditioning to growth, to strength.The scents smell nice to begin with, but they don't last all day. Id say they last a good couple hours - but then again, my nose gets used to it, and i often cant smell it half hour after i put it on...*please note* - If you are going to make your own balms, seek professional advice first, and research all the products you use. Not all essential oils are good for the skin & hair, and you can have an allergic reaction. And what works on my skin and hair may not work on yours.. So please don't just copy what i have. (i don't have all my products pictured)

I have bought many different essential oil brands. Frankly, you get what you pay for. None of the other brands have the depth or strength of this brand. The Pine oil is absolutely wonderful and takes you to an actual forest in Norway. Excellent products.

I brought the sandalwood oil, the best yet... I tried many other brands from online retailers to High Street retailers.... This one so for the best... The white plastic drop lip was useless... I had to poke 3 different holes to make it work. Not sure of longevity of the oil, just opened it today, So will see only time will tell.... But only one drop is enough with my beard oil.... Good level of scent... Not overbearing or weak....

Hardly any scent all! For such an expensive sandalwood bottle, I expected much more. It’s really well packaged, giving false impression of quality, but honestly I’ve bought sandalwood oil for a fraction of the price of this product and it had a much stronger smell. I’ve put half the bottle’s content in 50ml of carrier oil and still can’t smell a thing! Complete waste of money. Not recommended at all.
