Reviews

Great Balsam scent!

"I had a favorite Balsam of Peru years ago from another company that's since out of business. I had never found its likeness until ROCKY MOUNTAIN! I'm so excited. I love adding this to colognes and perfumes as it has a light vanilla scent. I will be stocking up now that I know how wonderful it is!"

Balsam of Peru- Review

"First purchase from Rocky Mountain and I have to say I am impressed with the sustainable packaging. No plastic. Second I think this is the most natural oil I’ve smelled/tested compared to other brands. I am a frequent customer of Plantlife but their oils and blends are so perfumey, I feel like they add fragrance to it. Rocky Mountain earned themselves a new customer. I like it so far."
