Healing Solutions 10ml Oils - Anise Star Essential Oil - 0.33 Fluid Ounces

My original review is below, but I don't want to lead with a negative, since what's really important is how this seller made things right. A couple days after I posted my review and wrote off ever using ylang ylang oil (or buying anything else from this seller) again, one of their reps left a really nice voice mail message expressing concern that they may have shipped out a bad batch and promised to fix it. Without hesitation, and on their own perogative, they express-shipped me another bottle of the ylang ylang EO, along with a couple of extra droppers to address the drippy situation with the last bottle.The bottle was sealed, showed no leaks and did not have that strong odor right out of the package like the original bottle did. I sniff tested both of them. Now THIS bottle of oil was much better! Both my husband and I compared the old bottle (shown in the left in the picture with a faint blue "O" drawn on the label) with the new and noticed immediately that the old one had the overpowering, industrial odor that the new one didn't. The new one was also powerful, but with that familiar sweet, floral, perfumey aroma instead. Slightly bitter, anise-like. I used the new oil in a bath bomb recipe tonight, and it came out really nice. I did not throw the bath bombs away like with the batches made with the old bottle and they are still sitting on my dining room table, behaving themselves (see pic). Now, I'm still not a fan of ylang ylang on its own (too flowery), but it seemed to smell like it was supposed to and blended well with the other scents I was using. Also, zero problems with the dropper on this one, so I doubt I'll need the extra droppers they sent me.I gotta say that this company did everything it could to make things right, short of coming over and fixing me a home-cooked meal. For that alone, they should get 5 stars, but since this is a product review, I'm rating it on its own merits and would still give it 5 stars because of the strength and integrity of the oil (some people complained it was diluted. Um..what.) and the functionality of the bottle, which is about all I really care about.Now I'm going to order another oil from these people (bergamot? rose? not sure yet), without the same reservations.***ORIGINAL REVIEW BELOW***I really tried with this product, but it was just awful. I don't know if it's because I have an aversion to ylang ylang or if it's this particular version. It is extremely powerful. It has an overpowering aroma of alkaline (urine?) and burnt rubber or tar, with just a hint of sweet floral. A nightmare combination. I tried making bath bombs with this three times, each with successively reduced amounts. The first batch, 1/2 teaspoon diluted in 2 TB of oil to mix in with 1 pound of bath salts. It was so extremely retched that I threw the whole thing away. The next try, I reduced it to 10 drops ( I meant only 5, but I had no control over how much came out of the dropper...another issue). Still bad, and I threw away. The last batch, I used only TWO drops to 2 TB of oil. I let the finished product sit on the table, went to a movie to clear my nose and came home. It was still terrible, overpowering everything. In the trash it went. I'm giving it two stars because if you like this scent, you will definitely get your money's worth as it is highly concentrated, but not the full 5 stars because the dispenser is dysfunctional.

Love the healing solutions essential oils. This had a lovely smell. Great fall diffuser smell

Nice smell, pretty strong so you don’t need to use a lot.

I would have given this clove oil 5 stars for the scent, pain relief ability & value for the money but I have to dock it for the problematic packaging. For all intensive purposes, it appears to be a high quality oil, but because the packaging of this oil is sub-par it got 4 stars. The company has got to get a new bottling method for this oil. The cap seal was was mostly broken off when it arrived. I don’t know if it just comes apart in shipping or if it gets sent out that way. It didn’t appear to have spilled, but it’s still disconcerting to receive a product you plan to use (& absorb into your body) for a toothache when it arrives unsealed. Looking at past negative reviews, seal issues have been all too common for this product.There was nothing wrong with the oil itself- it is powerful stuff— but it might make some people nervous to receive a bottle with a broken seal. There are too many nut jobs in this world to feel 100% confident that the product hasn’t been tampered with.With that being said, if you plan to use it for a little one with teething pain, be sure to dilute it with another oil— possibly coconut oil. This oil is potent & burns if it’s applied directly from the bottle to inflamed gums. Maybe test out a 1-4 part oil solution first and gradually increase the portion of clove oil per innocuous oil as needed until it is diluted to your preference.Overall, it is a quality, potent product if you’re willing to risk poor packaging...
