Gya Labs Australian Tea Tree Oil for Skin – 100% Natural Therapeutic Tea Tree Oil for Hair – Pure Tea Tree Oil for Face – Tea Tree Essential Oil for Toenail, Scalp & Piercings (1 fl oz)

Not going to comment on whether or not this ‘smells like’ indian sandalwood, since i’ve never actually been to mysore to smell the actual santalum album trees myself. Also, we don’t all perceive scents the same way. Whether or not this particular scent feels pleasant will vary. Gya labs version is pleasant to me, and is similar to bath & body works’ ‘sweet sandalwood,’ but more woody.

I have two categories by which i judge essential oils: longevity and potency of their scents. This is my assessment of gya labs sandalwood (santalum album) essential oil.

Longevity: amazing.

This is the test i do with all my new essential oils. I put a drop on a small piece of paper towel and let it sit on a shelf, and check if the scent is detectable over time. Gya labs sandalwood lasted full five days, and was still faintly detectable by day 7. Only one (now extinct) bottle from a different brand came close, at four days. Most others i tested faded within a few hours to one day.

Potency: amazing.

This is the primary use i have for essential oils: i put a few drops into a ceramic warmer’s little water dish warmed by a tealight candle. Tealight lasts between 3 & 1/2 hours to 4 & 1/2 hours. I test how many drops it takes to fill up a whole room (about 10 ft x 12 ft) with scent. Gya labs sandalwood managed it with 6 drops, and lasted through two candles (~9 hours), until i had to sleep. The scent was still detectable next morning. Some of the other ones i tested couldn’t fill the whole room with more than 20 drops.

I’ve also noticed similar longevity/potency from gya labs tuberose. I am very happy with both of my purchases, and will definitely be trying more of gya labs essential oils.

I’m in desperate need of a wisdom tooth removal but have to put it off because $$. My right top wisdom tooth is broken and has spots where food can get stuck so i found myself having tons of toothaches and then every 4 months having terrible pain that would shoot up my whole face and give me migraines for days. I decided to look into clove bud oil and got so desperate iordered it and received it a few hours later, i started by putting a few drops on a q tip with water, which did help a lot but would eventually end up hurting my gums if used too much. Then i mixed a few drops with water and squished it every hour. Yes it numbs for 10-15 minutes but it’s also killing bacteria which is what i believe has saved me from having more of these spells. Anytime i feel a toothache coming on, i use this after brushing my teeth everyday for at least a week & knock on wood….i haven’t had a toothache since i purchased this.

This stuff is no joke!!! I’ve been making my own pain blends for years using yl, doterra, etc.. Which gets pricy. But you get what you pay for. This company i don’t think specifies if this sandalwood is hawaiian, or east india, or maybe a blend. But i know legit essential oils and this one is hands down the best sandalwood for the price. It smells exactly like it should, and i get instant pain relief when i apply it to my back. Quicker than sacra frankincense, and if you know your oils, that’s saying a lot. 100% worth it!!!!

Didnt believe it until i tried it. Loose tooth and my bday was about 3days away. As advised put a lil bit directly onto your clean dry finger and rub on infected area. Rinse every well do not swallow not advising you i am just explaining how it is working for me. I love it and share it with friends because a tiny bit goes a long way and field mice hate it

Bought this to use in a diffuser we just bought. Added three drops of the vanilla to the water and it’s perfect. Nice and light. Pleasant vanilla aroma.
The bottle has a top that you really have to shake it to get drops out. I’d rather have that though than accidentally pouring too much out. You shouldn’t be able to spill this bottle 🙂

Oil is easy to dispense and control how much comes out (see photo). It also can just be inhaled by taking the lid off, which i love. The scent is perfectly balanced and potent, but not too overpowering. The only negative part was getting the glued on plastic packaging off the box.

This really works awesome for a sore mouth or toothache! Wife only used a dab and it numbed half her face in 2 mins lol. I’ve also used this in recipes for colognes and perfumes and it’s top notch !

I use this every night when it is time for me to go to bed and i have to say it is very relaxing and helps me be a good calming mood. I cut out alot of other oils and mostly use this one 🙂 i highly recommend

I was astonished by the wintergreen. It was exactly the scent i was looking for!

I used this very small bottle in a 1/4 pound candle (1oz/pound rule, soy 464) and so far my test burn has yielded great results. Ialso had a bit of overflow and used it ina wax melt, it was so strong! Too strong in that cae, but..

I highly recommend this if wintergreen is your thing.

Negatives:

the bottle was so hard to open i nearly rubbed a blister on my thumb putting pressure on the childproof cap. Guess i’m a child again.

If using the whole bottle for soap or candle, the dispenser thingy is annoying. Pop it off with a butterknife and all is well, though.

The price here is about $32 an oz. So if you want a 1 pound wax pour you’re paying a huge premium.

I am in love with the coffee scent. It smells delicious! Don’t be put off by the smell straight from the bottle. A lot of essential oils smell different in the bottle than they do in the diffuser or on skin. I used this in the diffuser. 5 drops of coffee and 5 drops vanilla. Makes the room smell heavenly – like a coffee shop. Another option that i will try is coffee and peppermint. Or coffee and orange. Use your imagination – the combinations are endless.

In 2004, i found a tiny 5ml bottle of spikenard from an ashram in india (oshadhi brand) while on a visit to an aunt in south carolina..at a beaufort health food store. It was at that time over $30. I still have a few drops left, and periodically open the bottle to inhale it, as there is something about it that reminds me of when the woman anointed the feet of jesus, in the bible story. . .but it’s more than that…it’s a quality. I cannot define with words. That product has been unavailable for some time, and i often search for a replacement. . .i decided to try this brand, gyalabs.. .1/3 oz. The price seemed cheap by comparison. . .however, the scent is similar, but also seems (to my oversensitive nose) to have elements of sandalwood to it, and is much thinner than the more viscous, resinous oshadi…i don’t use it for pain…i have used it, with a drop or 2 of frankinsence, to blend into my hair before sleep. . .don’t know why, but that’s me. My only complaint about all of these oils is the stopper. . .i wish they would come with a little eye dropper..fortunately i have saved little droppers from other products that fit the aura cacia bottles, as i use rosemary and marjoram oils, with oregano oil to make a blend of ghee and olive oil spread. But overall, i am happy with this spikenard, and am not optimistic that it will last almost 20 years, as the other has!! But then, i won’t use it as skimpily as i have that, since there seems to be a source for it now…..although n. Jatamansi, native to the alpine himalayas, is a critically endangered, rhizome-bearing plant that grows best at high altitudes (3,000 to 5,000 m) so depending upon how ‘green’ the world goes, many plants may be endangered..although there is always hydroponics, though i’ve never heard of this plant being grown that way….

The scent is amazing. You don’t need to use a lot to fill the room. The only reason i rated a 4 vs a 5 is because the cap was partially open and half of the oil leaked out. Very odd since there was no damage to the fully packaged product. I imagine the postal service enjoyed the scent.

This smells great in our humidifier, but i don’t believe it has any medicinal properties. I bought it because eucalyptus reminds me of the vicks aerosol spray my mom used to spray on our pillows when we were sick. It smells fresh and clean.

Right out of the bottle, it doesn’t smell like cinnamon to me at all. But give it a couple minutes and the scent will change to a lovely cinnamon smell. I use it on dried pine cones to make the house smell like fall and the holidays.

This product actually smells like sandalwood, not indian sandalwood which is becoming increasingly rare but stills very good. Other vendors of sandalwood say they have sandalwood in their product which i found i couldn’t detect. Some where very expensive like aura cacia.

I didn’t pay close attention to product size so was a bit surprised after receiving a 4 oz bottle of patchouli. That said, it doesn’t take much. I use in a mixture with patchouli as a body spray. Dropper conveniently built in to the bottle removes easily if you want larger quantities. Mixes beautifly for a clear product with no cloudiness.

Smells very good. Not overpowering. I use it in a diffuser by itself or sometimes with complementary oils.

It is a nice one but the smell does not last that long. I applied on my skin without diluting it and it didn’t irritate my skin. Good overall.

Tastes like it sounds. It’s cloves works quickly and is also useful for inflammation

Not exactly the scent i’m looking for
