Smells great - use for aromatherapy!
By Toast on Reviewed in the United States on January 21, 2017
I was at a pharmacy a month ago and there was the most intoxicating aroma of peppermint in the air. When I asked about it, the clerk showed me a medicine bottle that had a couple cotton balls that were saturated with peppermint oil. It was enough to give the storefront lobby that nice scent. I bought this oil thinking it would do the same thing, but it doesn't. I don't know if the essential oil concentration level is low, but this is not a very fragrant oil. I used half the bottle to saturate six cotton facial pads and put them in a small glass. I can only smell the scent if I put my nose right up next to the glass. So much for using this to scent even tiny areas in my home. Oh well. UPDATE 2/4/17: Shortly after my review was posted, the seller sent an email that said: "I would like to thank you for taking the time to post your review. I am sorry that the bottle of Peppermint did not have a strong scent. All of our Essential Oils are 100% Pure Therapeutic Grade. However, we do know that temperature and storage may affect the Essential Oils and this may be what happened to your bottle. We strive for 100% Customer Satisfaction so I would like the opportunity to resolve this issue for you right away. You may find that you have better luck using the Essential Oils in a diffuser opposed to just a bottle. I have included the information listed below and I have requested that a new bottle be shipped out to you today free of charge. We are shipping from Arizona so it may take just a few days for you to receive it. I would like to follow up with you in a couple of weeks to make sure you received the new shipment." I had not asked for anything from the seller nor did I expect anything, so I was pleasantly surprised that 1) they actually read posted reviews and 2) they sincerely believe in making their customers happy. I received a new bottle of oil a few days after their initial email. In the meantime, I purchased a diffuser per Cathi's (the seller's) suggestion. I tried it for the first time yesterday and am very pleased with the results. I changed my review from three stars to five stars and am so pleased these sellers truly believe in excellent customer service. I could not be happier!

Did not perform as expected.
By OaklandBookworm on Reviewed in the United States on August 14, 2017
Like others who have posted, I purchased this after buying another brand because it was a few dollars less, although same size (4oz) and statements by the manufacturer of purity. We use peppermint oil to keep critters away from our storage. While this oil does smell pepperminty, we noticed that the smell was not as strong as the previous brand we used -- also, the smell faded considerably after 48 hours. The previous brand had noticeable staying power even after a week, and even the initial application was more pungent - kinda really woke up your sinuses. By comparison, this oil did not have the same head-clearing effect. We're not experts on essential oils, but I would say that because we are using this to keep critters away, we will go with the brand with the greater fragrance strength and staying power. Another reviewer mentioned the consistency of the oil and we noticed that too. Very surprised that this oil did not perform as we expected because it's indicated an essential oil, or at least the manufacturer's name leads one to think that it is. Moreover, the Amazon ratings were quite high. But maybe people are using it for body care; the less strong peppermint may be a 'plus' in that respect.
