Gya Labs Spikenard Essential Oil (10ml) - Earthy & Woodsy ScentClimatePartner certified

I spent a long time researching and settled on this vanilla for now as its quite affordable but will invest in a CO2 vanilla from another company later on. I put 2 drops on the back of my hand this morning and its now 10 hours later and all day its been a strong sweet and creamy vanilla smell which at first was a little over powering but this evening its a lovely softness to it. For body butters etc im sure only a few drops would work. Cant compare to others more expensive to know if this is good but im glad i have it as an intro into vanilla essential oils. Overall its a nice oil but be warned less is more.

Just received my order for 10 mls each of Egyptian Geranium and Neroli, and 5 mls of Jasmine. Next day delivery as promised. All three are powerful (but not overpowering), long lasting and absolutely authentic/true to type fragrances. The aromas being exactly as described on Gya's site. Totes lush, and well impressed 👍!.The Jasmine was a recommendation by Eliza, at Gya Labs, that came up during an exchange about an issue that I had with their Tuberose.That issue was resolved quickly, professionally, amicably and equitably by Eliza. Great to deal with an organisation that also offers great customer care in addition to great products.Highly recommended.

It's a great smelling out, a big shame the company feels the need to LIE about the ingredients, fake marketing it as real Otto oil. We know its not possible for this price! I saw a poster on reddit post the info/chemistry document on Otto Oil that Gya Labs sent to them, and though 50% seems to be volatile oils of natural origin (if you trust this report) another 50% is basically isopropyl myristate and 2 artificial fragrances that are used in a lot of cosmetics as preservatives and enhancers of scent. One of them is known to have a rich, jasmine like smell- that can explain why some people find this rose oil smell too heavy to be real. In any case it's probably not any more dangerous than perfumes or deodorants or scent sticks that we use on our skins and in our homes, but a bit dissapointing really. It does smell great and I'm still planning to use it. Though I wont repurchase and will stay away from any other oils they sell.

I got this product 2 days ago and am writing a review hoping it will help some frustrated couple out there. If your partner snores, it's horrific. If it's happening to you, you know. So much emotional frustration and tension over an issue that is no one's fault, yet a total sleep destroyer.So my man and I tried many things. Finally resigned to rotating between nasal strips (which help only some, and only when perfectly placed), and ear plugs for me (finally found some that muffle, but none of them block it out entirely). My man has a long history of respiratory weakness, and eucalyptus oi is supposed to be awesome for that. So we got a diffuser for the bedroom and started running strong eucalyptus radiata all night to help him. I was surprised to notice a slight lessening of the snoring volume with the eucalyptus (it has a strong menthol smell).I've since gotten way into essential oils, self-taught. I'm thrilled with all of the practical uses they have (first aid, etc). Wasn't keen to try thyme because I'm not a huge thyme fan in cooking. Just makes me think of spaghetti sauce. Well, in my research to help hubby with other health issues, I came across thyme being recommended for lungs and immunity. So two nights ago, I fixed up a potent half eucalyptus, half thyme diffuser blend (about 10 drops each for a small bedroom, with the diffuser placed on his side of the bed). Went to bed with my ear plugs at the ready. Was absolutely shocked when he was SILENT the whole night. NO SNORING. Well, that seemed too good to be true. The next day, hubby took a nap by himself, no diffuser. Popped in to check on him and he was snoring per usual. That night, fired up my half and half blend again (eucalyptus & thyme). NO SNORING. This time I listened closely to his breathing. It's like the thyme is relaxing whatever part makes that flapping/constricted sound because he was breathing in and out with far less strain. Noise aside, as a wife who really loves her man, I want him to breathe well. To me, snoring is like a sound of choking. Seems to me that no snoring has got to mean better oxygen delivery and better sleep. Historically my man sleeps lousy, waking up many times. I'm thinking if he gets better oxygen, he'll sleep longer. Anyhow, I didn't want to raise false hopes, so I did a few more experiments. This morning, after running all night, the aroma of the thyme and eucalyptus was very depleted. He began snoring again. I snuck out of bed and replenished the oils just to see. The snoring STOPPED. Later on, we woke up and he turned off the diffuser as we were getting ready to actually get out of bed. But then he drifted off again while the diffuser was still off. Within 5 minutes, he started snoring again. So there is no doubt in my mind that the thyme is a key ingredient here. But the part that I am still blown away by is how effectively it stops the snoring. When he's on his back, he's always the worst, and even with thyme his breathing becomes more strained and small attempts at snoring start happening. So I just have him turn on his side, and SILENCE. Thyme is a relationship and sleep saver!! It smells a bit green, and actually doesn't make me think of spaghetti sauce, so it's doable. There are countless blend opportunities, and you could easily bring this with you to a hotel and put a lot of the oil in some kind of dish to diffuse it without a machine. So this has many possibilities. I am thrilled. And clearly this brand is putting out a quality product, given what I've shared. I really hope this helps someone.

I've found buying essential oils from unknown brands can be very hit and miss and often outright scams.That said, when I came across this product from a brand that was unknown to me, I took a shot on it for £9...I love the smell of Japanese Hinoki it is a rich slightly sweet and, in my opinion, masculine scent that has a great depth.This product claims to be 100% essential oil and whilst I have no way of testing this, my experience leads me to believe the claim - in which case, its also pretty good value.I bought this for use in a cold ultrasonic diffuser and am so very pleased with the result... its a beautiful scent that fills the room and a little goes a long way... will be trying others from this brand.

Not great Spikenard, thin liquid and the aroma evaporates quickly

So pleased to find this again, couldn't get hold of it for ages! A beautiful scent, delicate, floral and intoxicating. I put this is my hair and in my moisturizer and smell amazing all day. Tiny bottle but you only need a few drops.
