Essential Fragrance Oil 1 Fl Oz 2 Pack

I’ve used a lot of essential oils, and this Hiqili citronella smells more like a citronella-scented candle than a high-quality, steam-distilled oil. It’s missing that grassy, lemony sharpness I expect from true Cymbopogon winterianus. The scent is flat and generic — fine for a diffuser, but not great for therapeutic use or as an effective repellent on its own. I had to mix it with 98% DEET just to get results for mosquitoes, so the oil alone wasn’t cutting it. There’s also no visible batch number or quality testing info on the bottle itself, which doesn’t inspire confidence about purity. Decent if you’re after fragrance only, but not something I’d repurchase for serious use. I believe a majority of these 5 stars are from those that are purchasing the different oils extensively for room freshening/scent purposes and not medicinal or in this case mosquito repellant. If you’re after true pure essential oil keep looking. Better yes, do your own research on google. before buying and you’ll see I’m not alone. This brand is hit or miss. However I do like the packaging and how it included the mini travel bottle and for that I gave it an additional star. But seriously… What good is the awesome packaging if the oil is subpar? Scent only = ok Working use = no good
