Awesome fragrance but very thick
The smell is unbelievable definitely that vanilla aroma. Strange name for a vanilla scent. The only thing I don’t like is that it is extremely thick like it doesn’t even pour out of the bottle but I’ve read that with every profiles and from any company. I haven’t used it yet and I don’t know that I would use it in my diffuser it might be too thick I’m not sure

Response from Rocky Mountain Oils
Hello Darene!
We are happy to hear you are enjoying the aroma of our Balsam of Peru! If you want to diffuse it, try warming it up first either between your hands or placing it in a ziploc bag and putting it in a bowl or cup of warm water. Once it has been warmed, mix it with a carrier oil then add it to your diffuser. Hope this helps!
Thanks!

I made a salve for a skin rash on my elbows with Balsam of Peru including coconut oil and Beeswax. I like the light vanilla scent. It did help with my rash. The oil is very thick, even after inserting the bottle in hot water. My only option was to take off the plastic dipper and add the drops I needed to my salve. I don’t think I will diffuse this oil because I don’t want it to clog up my diffuser. Otherwise I will buy again when I run out of it.

Heavenly vanilla scent
This "oil" has a heavenly vanilla scent. It is very solid and can stain so beware! It's more of an emulsion than an oil.

A Wonderful Winter Fragrance
I love the smell of balsam anytime of the year. I did purchase this oil for a wonderful winter fragrance to welcome friends and family during the Christmas season. I really am glad I did - a great oil!

Very thick, but once warmed up,it is easy to work with. I wasn’t sure about the fragrance initially, but the more I smell it, the more it has grown on me. The smell to me is kind of an earthy Vanilla - quite unique.

Delightful vanilla smell
Balsam of Peru lives up to its description. Pleasing vanilla smell will be very nice in body butters and lip balms that I make. Thank you for the education, RMO!

Great oil
It smells divine. It is quite thick but it does say that in the description. I have found that it can be mixed into a blend of oils to make it a little more thin. Worth the price

How do you get it out of the bottle? It is so thick I can't even get a drop of it out. I've tried warming it with my hand and it isn't budging.
BEST ANSWER: Great question!
If you’re ever having problems with your oils dropping from the bottle, here are some quick tips:
1. These droppers also work best when held horizontally (to the side) instead of vertically (upside down).
2. Warm the bottle by holding in hands, placing in a bowl of warm water (to prevent damaging the label put the bottle in a ziplock bag before placing in water)
3. Widen the holes on the orifice reducer with a sterile pin
4. Take the orifice reducer off of the bottle and use a pipette.
Thanks!

Am I supposed to mix this oil with a carrier oil in order to diffuse? I got two drops in my diffuser and turned it on but the drops aren’t spreading out or diffusing. Thanks!
BEST ANSWER: Hello Brigid!
First, warm the bottle by holding in hands, placing in a bowl of warm water (to prevent damaging the label put the bottle in a ziplock bag before placing in water) then you can mix with a carrier oil to diffuse.

Any tips for diffusing this? I tried once and it made my diffuser incredibly sticky and messy.
BEST ANSWER: Great question! You can mix it with a thin oil such as lemon or try combining it with FCO to help thin it out.
Thanks!
