Barnhouse Blue Flower Blossom Set of 6 Premium Fragrance Oils - Honeysuckle, Lilac & Lilies, Sweet Pea, Plumeria, Magnolia, Sunflower - 10ML

All my bottles arrived sealed no leakage. The smells are great out of the bottle, I liked them all. They are fragrance oils not essential oils, meaning synthetic. Not all synthetics are unsafe and not all natural oils are safe. Still, the one concern I had was the safety of putting them on my skin, so I looked up Barnhouse Blue and saw that their oils meet IFRA Standards. I looked IFRA Standards and found this:"We see fragrance as a safe and essential part of life. The IFRA Standards, based on scientific evidence and overseen by independent experts, aim to make this vision a reality – helping you to feel good about fragranced products and enjoy them with confidence. Well-being is at the heart of what we do. Fragrance has the power to enhance lives and to trigger a range of positive emotions, bringing enjoyment, relaxation or enhanced self-esteem. Across a wide range of everyday products, fragrance makes the difference. Fresh-smelling laundry provides comfort; the clean feeling provided by a fragranced shower gel makes sure you start the day right; your perfume helps you feel confident.The IFRA Standards exist to provide that same confidence when it comes to the safe use of fragrance ingredients.For more than 40 years, the fragrance industry has carefully examined ingredients used in fine fragrance and in the household and personal care products you and your family enjoy, setting rules that are recognized by government authorities and trade bodies around the world and which are compulsory for all IFRA members – who produce around 80 per cent of the global volume of fragrance. Whether ingredients are natural or synthetic, we monitor, test and assess these ingredients and set rules for them to be used safely – helping you to feel good about fragrance, in every sense.The IFRA Code of Practice and IFRA Standards are the key tools we employ to ensure the safe use and enjoyment of fragrance.The Code and Standards are mandatory for all members, including members of national associations, covering around 80% of the fragrance industry by production volume.The Standards are based on state-of-the-art scientific assessments provided by the Research Institute for Fragrance Materials, overseen by an independent Expert Panel.IFRA then sets Standards – limits or even bans on certain ingredients – to help ensure that people can enjoy fragranced products with confidence.We also take seriously our responsibility to care for our shared environment and to be sustainable. This means more than just ‘being green’.Instead, we take a holistic approach to sustainability in all aspects and throughout the fragrance value chain – looking at how we interact with suppliers, customers, employees, communities and stakeholders.This approach is used for the IFRA-IOFI Sustainability Charter, a joint initiative with our colleagues in the flavor industry.We use a wide range of raw materials, sourced from natural and synthetic origin, seeking to deliver high-quality products that respect the environment and communities around the world. It is not a case of ‘natural good, synthetic bad’. Instead, we take an ‘origin-neutral’ approach to both environmental protection and safety assessments.

I bought this exact set because my friend had it and it smelled so good. I absolutely loved the sunflower in her set so I had to make sure it was this exact set. Much to my heartbreak when it arrived it was damaged and yup you guessed it, it was the dang sunflower. I knew something was wrong as soon as I picked up the package because the lovely smell of the sunflower was radiating through the crappy packaging Amazon decided to pack it in. Not worth returning the entire set over the loss of my precious sunflower and not at all the seller’s fault. This is why I still left a 5 star review. The items are amazing, the smells are so potent and lovely. If you love sunflower you NEED barnhouse blue sunflower. The plumeria is super pretty smelling too as well as the entire collection honestly. I was happy to see that I could get the sunflower individually so I immediately reordered it and will await it’s arrival patiently in hopes that it is packaged better and arrives in one piece.

absolutely amazing, strong not weak smells but not overpowering.

These were overall very nice. For anybody wondering, here is a breakdown of all the scents. Banana Creme - Very nice Banana scent to it. It does smell sort of artificial, but what can you expect? To put in perspective, it smells a bit like those Banana hard candies you find in vending machines in the mall. Blue Cotton Candy - This one smells the least appealing in the bunch. It doesn't smell exactly like Cotton Candy, but I can detect the scent of it and see where they were going with it. A bit of improvement and this will be a good scent. Chocolate Mint - DELICIOUS! This smelled exactly as described, a accurate mint scent accompanied by a yummy chocolate whiff of delight. Malibu Rum Cupcakes - These smelled, again, as described. Pretty good one, too. Oatmeal Cookie Dough - Your grandma has baked you some delicious, classic, and appetizing Oatmeal Cookies. She is pulling them right out of the oven, and lays them out on a try for you to eat. That is what this fragrance oil smells like. PERFECTION! Root Beer - Smells like you just popped open a can of Root Beer, a very good fragrance for anybody who likes the drink. You may be wondering, "Why did you give it four stars?" I gave it four stars because the Cotton Candy one really wasn't the best scent, but honestly I don't think there ever will be a 100% perfect Cotton Candy scent of fragrance or essential oil out there. Well, hope I helped :).

I use these in an oil burner for the home, in my vacuum, and heavily diluted with carrier oils for personal fragrance (not sure if this is recommended, but let's be real... most commercial fragrances are artificial, not from essential oils). I've had no negative side effects from the diluted scents on my person, and love how they smell when I walk into my home. The pine scent is a little too potent or "sharp" imo (not as soft as a Christmas tree's natural smell), but I was surprised at how much I liked the chocolate and musk, and the pumpkin patch is my favorite! The cinnamon is also very nice, and I've found myself reaching for that over the actual cinnamon essential oil I have for my burner. I'd recommend this set to anyone not too cool to only use essential oils for home fragrance.
