I’ve never experienced Palo Santo before, so I have nothing to compare it to BUT this is awesome! It sticks really well after the cure in cold process and my customers love it. Absolutely no problems soaping with this fragrance. Highly recommend!
I've used this fragrance in cold process soap and in Soy 10 candle wax. It's great in both! In soap, it behaves really well, so it allows for intricate designs if you want. It's a low IFRA usage, but maxed out it's lovely. The fragrance does almost totally disappear at about 1-2 weeks of cure time, but it was back by the time my soap was fully cured at 6 weeks. So don't panic if this happens to you! In Soy 10, I use it at 8% and it's lovely. Not overpowering, not weak - just right. Great fragrance!
Great scent wish was stronger
Beautiful Palo Santo! Love it!!!
Amazing fragrance! Men and Women alike love this in anything i make!
soap, candles, body sprays, lotions!
As owner of TDF SOAPS in a small mountain town. This fragrance is highly requested. This stuff right here is the VERY best ive ever used. You are my new go to for all my candles from this day on. I make a lot of candles. Im excited to view n sample your selection so much. Happy customer who requested this. Good thing i got a big ol bottle
One of my mew favs!
This will be my favorite of all time. No question!!
I’ve tried other palo santo scents and this one is the truest….by a long shot!!! Love this!!!!
Great fragrance
This one smells like a handsome cowboy to me.. a little smokey with some cologne in the background, who just rode in from a wild ride on the bronco and still has his leather chaps on!
Best smelling Palo Santo scent!
This one is really a fantastic fragrance. It's more of a fresh air sort of pall santo as opposed to smokey. I personally detect what seems like the slightest floral but in a very unisex and neutral way. It's absolutely beautiful, and captures a freshness that I've been looking for, even though I didn't expect to find that with this particular fragrance lol. Really well done! I will always be keeping this oil on hand!
Love this!!
I'm not a personal fan of this particular scent, however for those who are, its not overpowering and as always, midwest delivers so far on every scent I've purchased!
In my latest order, I noticed that the scent is completely different from what I used to receive.
I would like to know if this change is due to a batch variation or if the fragrance formula has been modified? I wrote to support but I have not yet been answered: (
Scent really does smell wonderful and true to Palo Santo scent so it is pretty great compared to several other Palo Santo fragrance oils I've tried but I wish it was stronger - it's a bit too light. Tried in Beard oil and it is somewhat faint even at the maximum usage rate. Would be great if MWFC could make it stronger but the same scent profile if you know what I mean. Looking at blending with some EOs to increase the scent strength but without changing the scent - may not be feasible. Plan to test it in soap and see how it does. I really love the scent though and so do my beard oil customers.
I burn it in my office building and everyone walks in saying how amazing it smells in the building
I chose 4 scents and love all of them, which was unexpected. Using them in my car in a fragrance diffuser jar, and it is working out well.
This Palo Santo is truly a favorite. I wasn't sure how I would feel about it, but I'm blown away. Definitely a regular now!
I'm not a big review writer, but this one is truly worthy! Bought a small bottle to try in candles and love the scent so much i had to use it for soap as well! I'm here to get a bigger bottle!
This is a beautiful and very true fragrance.
Everything thus far from MWF has been awesome, out of the park. I think I got a dud with this guy though, maybe bad batch? Couldn't smell anything compared to the others
Beautiful
Definitely the best Palo Santo out there! (And I've tried a lot) Way to go Midwest!
This one is great as well
What a beautiful fragrance in my soy blend candles and room/linen sprays. It delivers soothing sense of grounding that brings calm to the environment. In room sprays, a tiny amount goes a long way. It appears to be a heavier FO in this application and quickly becomes cloudy if too much is added. Just add in tiny increments and test as you go. I love it as a linen spray and candle.
Palo Santo is AMAZING. I used it in a pine tar soap and I have to say this will forever be in my line up! My customers are thrilled with it as well
Loved the small right out of the bottle. Manly but not overpowering. I used it in Pine Tar cold process soap and it worked wonderful. My customers love it!
Not quite as deep/smoky as I was expecting, but it's still very nice. I'm excited to use it; I really think it's going to be popular.
I cannot get enough of this scent. I have put it in wax melts, room spray and body spray. It mixes amazing with everything but is stellar on its own!
