As a Vine reviewer, I was excited to try this. The product is visually stunning and arrived with fast shipping. The amber glass bottle, minimalist label, and dark reeds are beautiful, and the packaging feels very high-end. It would complement any decor.
The citrus scent itself is very bright and extremely potent. As another reviewer noted, it is 'highly fragranced.' I used all five reeds and it filled my bedroom with scent very quickly.
Unfortunately, this is where my positive experience ended. After having it in my room overnight, I woke up with an irritated throat and an uncomfortably ticklish nose. These symptoms went away after I removed the diffuser and aired out the room.
While I wanted to love this for its aesthetics, I am clearly sensitive or allergic to one of the ingredients in this specific formula. The fragrance, while strong, was too harsh for me to be around and caused a clear respiratory irritation.
This product is beautiful and very powerful. However, I must caution anyone with sensitivities to strong fragrances or essential oils. It was, unfortunately, unusable for me.

Doesn’t smell like balsam cedar at all
Does not smell like balsam cedar and you can barely smell it after letting it sit for three days…

Love it!
Came with 1 refill, 1 bottle to fill the diffuser, and reeds. Pretty easy to put together. The scent has been lasting for a while, and I find the scent to be there but not over powering. Perfect for those who want an XMAS tree smell or like that balsam fragrance. The design is super simple, yet classy. Definitely recommend!

Not gross but not eucalyptus
Sorry to say but this smells nothing like eucalyptus. The scent is abundant and the scent per money is good but I can’t even put my finger on what it does smell like… not good enough that I will even keep it despite having thrown away the package and so can’t return. It’s just kind of there in the air.. 2/5 is generous

Smells great and lasts
The citrus oil smells amazing! And it lasts , has not faded at all. It is a huge bottle of oil. It comes with the reeds and a glass bottle . The only thing I didn’t like was that there’s a big sticker that reads “citrus” on the glass bottle and when I took it off the glue residue was still there. But otherwise this is a great value .

Day Spa Meets Apothecary Minimalism
So this one totally reminds me of the small apothecaries you find on vacation that sell hand made soap and minimally designed spa products.The bottles – that’s right…count ’em: you get 1 glass vessel and 2 plastic refills – arrived in a presentation that is perfect for gifting. I’m a sucker for attention to detail and the simple packaging and secure reveal is great. The design of all three bottles is old school pharmacy amber with minimal labeling. The whole presentation is just clean.And so is the scent. Reminiscent of day spas and hotel self care amenities, it’s not overpowering at all. I’m not a fan of patchouli, so I was glad to find out that it’s almost undetectable. It’s basically in the mix to give more depth to the scent. And the fragrance is not just a bunch of peeled oranges. It is citrus blended with a few herbs that just leave your room smelling clean. I get more orange than lime, but some people have claimed the opposite. It’s just a subtle mix.It’s also not a reed diffuser that will sweep through your entire home. It has a minimal scent throw that stays where you put it, which makes this one a great option for bathrooms or kitchens. Looking forward to trying other scents from this brand.

Went From “Yum” to “Umm…”
I was so excited to receive this item. Initial response was how amazing it smelled. I put a few diffusers rods in. I expected, since the item said it was all natural that it was just essential oil and a carrier oil, although it did not indicate the ingredients. Within the next hour, the smell became over powering. I started to remove rods one after another and it still was overpowering. I even changed the room it was located in. In addition to my already existing sinus issues, the scent may have made it worse. I really like the smell however, I am thinking about diluting it with a carrier oil. Otherwise, how strong it is, you would expect this oil to be for a mansion. Unfortunately as is, it is too concentrated and with the rods it overpowers the air. Other than that, it seems like a good quality product, and it was packaged well. I may have to clear the air and try again.
