AromaTech Palo Santo & Amber (9.76ml)

How long does the 9.76ml bottle typically last?

Usage duration depends on your diffuser settings and frequency of use. With moderate daily use in a standard cold-air diffuser, expect 4-6 weeks of fragrance. Higher intensity settings or larger coverage areas will reduce this timeframe. The concentrated formula means you need fewer drops per session compared to diluted oils.

Can this oil be used in ultrasonic diffusers that require water?

Yes, this pure oil works in ultrasonic diffusers despite being water-free. Add 3-5 drops to your water reservoir for optimal scent distribution. The oil will disperse effectively through the ultrasonic misting process. Avoid using more drops as the concentrated formula can overwhelm smaller spaces.

What makes palo santo different from other wood scents?

Palo santo comes from the Bursera graveolens tree and has been used in South American spiritual practices for centuries. Unlike cedar or sandalwood, palo santo has a distinctive sweet, citrusy undertone alongside its woody base. The scent is believed to clear negative energy and promote mental clarity, making it popular for meditation and creative work.

Is this oil safe to use around children and pets?

The formula is designed to be family and pet-safe when used as directed. However, always ensure adequate ventilation and avoid direct contact with skin or ingestion. Some pets may be sensitive to certain essential oils, so monitor their behaviour when first using. Consult your veterinarian if you have concerns about specific pet sensitivities.

How does the IFRA certification benefit users?

IFRA certification means the oil has undergone rigorous safety testing for skin sensitisation, respiratory effects and environmental impact. This international standard ensures the product meets strict quality guidelines for fragrance materials. The certification provides confidence that you're using a professionally formulated product rather than an untested blend.

What's the difference between this and synthetic amber fragrances?

This oil uses natural amber essence rather than synthetic recreations. Natural amber provides a warmer, more complex scent profile with subtle variations that synthetic versions cannot replicate. The natural approach also eliminates many of the harsh chemicals found in artificial amber fragrances, reducing the risk of headaches or respiratory irritation.

Can the oil be mixed with other AromaTech scents?

While technically possible, mixing different oils can create unpredictable results and may affect the carefully balanced formula. Each AromaTech oil is designed as a complete scent experience. If you want variety, alternate between different oils rather than blending them. This approach preserves the intended aromatherapy benefits of each individual scent.

Why might some people find the scent too strong or unpleasant?

Individual scent preferences vary significantly and some people may be sensitive to specific essential oils like eucalyptus or clary sage. The concentrated nature of pure oils can also seem overwhelming to those accustomed to lighter, synthetic fragrances. Start with fewer drops and shorter diffusion periods to gauge your tolerance before increasing intensity.
