Woolzies Lavender Essential Oil - Aromatherapy Essential Oils for Diffuser and Topical Use | 100% Pure Therapeutic Grade Lavender |1 Fl Oz

Note: I've uploaded two pictures to help answer what seem to be common questions about this product.The first picture shows that the bottle has a valve, so the oil doesn't pour out too fast. The second picture clears up the ambiguity on this product page about the product being "100% oil". The bottle itself is labeled as containing "100% pure lavender oil".__________________________________________In pursuit of natural products that won't exacerbate my worsening asthma, I recently discovered Woolzies dryer balls to replace dryer sheets, and also came upon Woolzies essential oils. I am thrilled with both products--I just wish they offered a greater variety of scents, as lavender is the only one of their current offerings that my family and I are interested in. This has been a perfect replacement to the Downy Unstopables my parents were using, which recently began triggering respiratory problems for me.There are three concerns other reviewers mentioned that I want to address, as I was hesitant to purchase the Woolzies Essential Oil after reading some of the negative reviews.First, I noted that some reviewers love the scent, while others hate it, describing it as having a "chemical" odor. When I opened the bottle, the scent was so pungent that it didn't even seem like lavender to me, but rather more like eucalyptus. My mother, though, I think gave a spot-on description of it: she described it as smelling "medicinal". We gave it a try in spite of that, and now love it. After using it a few times, I noticed the bottle has instructions that indicate you aren't supposed to add the oil until after the clothing is already dry, stating you should add it during the fluff cycle because heat breaks down essential oils. I'm glad I didn't notice those instructions, as I assume it's the full dry cycle responsible for transforming the overpowering, medicinal smell into a subtle, delicious scent.Second, I read one review which complained that the bottle pours out too readily, rather than dispensing one drop at a time. Having read that, I didn't expect there to be any covering over the mouth of the bottle--but there is, and I haven't had any problem with too much pouring out. Just to be on the safe side, what I do is take a wool dryer ball, press it to the mouth of the bottle, then briefly invert the bottle--the same way one might place a fingertip over a vial of perfume and quickly invert it to dispense a drop of fragrance.Third, I recall one review mentioned that this oil stains wool dryer balls. We keep ours in a decorative basket atop the dryer, so I'm glad I haven't found that to be the case. Rather, after adding the oil, it looks like a drop of water was added to the wool; after the dry cycle, there's no trace of it.Bottom line: I highly recommend Woolzies Lavender Essential Oil to anyone who doesn't mind their laundry room being filled with an overpowering scent at the start of the dry cycle. By the end of it, the room and your laundry will have a wonderful, subtle fragrance with fairly decent staying power.

Nice lavender scent. I’ve tried many and this is my favorite for a true calming lavender. I use in my diffuser or add to water and rubbing alcohol in a spray bottle as a room freshener.

I ordered this to help give a nice scent to my CPAP air feed. Just placed a dab on a cotton ball near the air inlet port (not touching the case nor filter) and it works fine to scent the mask nicely. Getting a drop out can sometimes be hit or miss, but I learned to keep the cotton ball on the opening and it dispenses after a few inversions. It is strong, but not overpowering, smelling close to the live version of the plant growing in the garden.The aromatherapy guides say this is good for relaxing and falling asleep. Being a natural skeptic (and an over educated scientist), I am not sure I completely accept the claims, but it is outside my area of expertise, and it does not appear to hurt my sleep any. Regardless, I don't have issues with falling asleep, as my wife will attest, so I cannot really be an evaluator of that claim. It smells good and beats smelling my own breath in the morning! And it makes the room smell nice, which is somewhat relaxing.Recommended.

I love the smell of the lavender oil. The only thing I have noticed is that it does not have a particularly strong scent and it seems to fade fast. Since this is the first time I have purchased this scent I am not sure if that is true of all brands or not so I still rated this a four star. I have added it to laundry detergent, hand soap, " homemade poo pourri" so far. In the poo pourri it is not as effective as using a stronger scent such as peppermint. I am, however, a big fan of Woolzies essential oils. I have several and have not been disappointed. The bottles are a good size for the price, they last a long time and they smell great.

I love the Woolzies lavender essential oil! I was becoming concerned with all of the chemicals in products and decided to trade in traditional dryer sheets for the Woolzies wool dryer balls. I purchased the lavender oil to use on the dryer balls to add a nice scent. My whole family is in love with it. It's a beautiful light clean scent that lasts! Absolutely pure lavender oil; there's none of that sickeningly sweet fake floral perfume smell. I put a drop or two on each dryer ball (I use 6 wool balls with each load). Works great! Especially love smelling this lavender scent on our sheets! I wish my whole house smelled just like the Woolzies brand oil!!

Among other uses, lavender can be effective against insomnia, nervousness, restlessness, and depression.I used to apply lavender to my skin, but within the last month, or so, I began dabbing a round circle of this Woolzies Lavender Oil on the edges of my pillowcase just before bed. I've experienced less insomnia since I began using lavender. (I also find running an audio book of "Walden" by Henry David Thoreau all night long helps me to get to sleep and helps me get back to sleep after waking up during the night. I hope this "tip" helps any insomniacs -- and I understand there are many of us -- get relief from sleepless nights.)I've tried another lavender oil in addition to Woolzies. I like them both. They both smell heavenly and I find that both products promote relaxation. For most of my life, I've had an adversarial relationship with bedtime. Now I look forward to it.Woolzies bottle has the same plastic insert in the top as the other lavender oil I bought. This allows the user to pour out a drop of oil without wasting any -- you don't need too much since one good sized drop provides significant fragrance.
