HIQILI Lemon Essential Oil for Cleaning, Diffuser & Skin | Creates a Fresh and Clean Atmosphere for Kitchen, Bath and More, Removes Odors and Stubborn Residue -30mL / 1.01 fl oz

This review is for the 3.38 ounce lemon-scented essential oil, purchased in May 2023 during a lightning deal. TL;DR: highly recommended if you’re a fan of strong citrus scents. I’m the kind of person who prefers a very fragrant home - I’ve always had dogs, cats, and kids and I like to mask those things with artificial citrus and flowers. I started my adult life using “plug-ins” for home fragrance and for a while that worked just fine. But, as you know, the smell fades quickly, they’re a drain on resources, and its pricy and tedious to constantly change them. For a very brief period I tried scented sprays and canisters, but those were a complete waste. So eventuality I switch to scented candles. I discovered a brand that rivals those well-known but expensive candles, but at a fraction of the cost - and with fantastic seasonal scents! But those are also a drain on resources, expensive, and dangerous with cats and dogs around. So recently I decided to make the switch to essential oil diffusers. Never having used one before, I had no idea what type, brand, or scents to get for my house. After a little research I came to Amazon and found this line on sale. I went with two citrus scents, one lavender, and one vanilla. I’ll admit that this is my least favorite of the three, but that’s just personal preference and not commentary on the product. This essential oil seems to be high quality, a great value, and fragrant - overall very satisfactory. The problem is that my husband mentioned that it smells like Pledge furniture cleaner and now that’s all I can smell. It is a clean, crisp scent that I’ll definitely use if I cook something that lingers, but it’s not an everyday scent. I think I may have added too much oil to the water and created a stronger aroma than necessary, so I’ve been playing around with ratios - the strength can definitely be adjusted by diluting the mixture. My go-to for everyday is the vanilla scent, but that’s a story for a different review. I’m not evaluating this product for its pain-relief efficacy because I think claiming that an oil could alleviate pain at all is irresponsible and that is definitely not why I got it or how I’m using it. I bought this, and the three other scents, exclusively for the fragrance aspect and not because I have any disillusions about some latent medicinal properties. *I plan to copy and paste the beginning of this review into all four of the different scents that I ordered, so I apologize if you got here and experienced some dé-jà vu.

Cant get enough of this scent! Good quality, use it for soap, lotion and scent atomizers.

Wow I will never buy a small bottle or wildly priced essential oil again! The value for money here is incredible and the smell is divine. I was curious to see how these would compare with the well known EO brands but I have to say I love these more. The liquid is thinner and more concentrated, I can’t believe how long these bottles last and we use them every day in 3 diffusers around the home, as well as mix perfume oil with fractionated coconut oil.

next to no scent. used the entire bottle in a small amount of liquid soap and it STILL didn't smell like lemon.

I use this in my diffuser and it helps keep the flies away and filling my home with a fresh lemon smell.
