This arrived in a nice gift box and in a glass bottle with a pipette. The label was scratched a lot which isn't great if gifting. Agarwood oil has many uses, from skincare/haircare to popping in a diffuser for the bathroom. We did the latter, and I'm afraid personally, I found the smell very overpowering, but that's just a personal preference. Finally, I like the fact it's organic and natural and not diluted. At £27.30 it does feel a bit steeply priced.

A couple of drops of this Agarwood oil is all that is needed in a diffuser to produce, what in my opinion is, a wonderful aroma. It’s difficult to describe but I suppose I would say it has a sweet woody and quite complex fragrance. Agarwood is often referred to as ‘Oud’ and for me the fragrance is very reminiscent of Asia and in particular the Middle East and personally I find it very pleasant. The Agarwood oil fragrance in this bottle is quite strong so if using in a diffuser only a couple of drops is required, it is easy to overdo it and then lose the subtlety of the fragrance and spoil it by being over powerful. This bottle at 118ml will go a very long way. I also found the smell lingers, which I liked. I could put the diffuser on for an hour or so, go out for the day and when I returned the room still had a faint and pleasant scent of the oil in the air. Personally, I will use this oil purely in a diffuser but I understand it can be used as a skin or hair moisturiser. I think for that you would probably need to dilute in a carrier as the fragrance is quite powerful. I managed to get some on my fingers when I opened the bottle and simply rubbed it in. It absorbed into the skin well but the fragrance was certainly quite pronounced and lasted all day – a pleasant enough smell but not perhaps a masculine aroma. The oil came nicely packaged in a well-protected gift box. The bottle is amber glass and nicely sealed with a plastic stopper beneath the screw cap – which is how I managed to get some on my fingers when opening. The bottle also comes supplied with a glass pipette screw top which can be used to replace the standard screw cap, but if you do that make sure to keep the bottle upright when storing otherwise the oil will leak out. The pipette is a great, convenient and controlled way to measure out a couple of drops or the required amount. Fragrances are quite a personal thing but I think if used sparingly this is a very pleasant and fresh scent and would make a nice gift.
