The spices in this are very Christmassy making it a good choice in winter. The opening is a little sweet in an original santal sort of way but after an hour or so it mellows out. I've worn it to...

Hi, does anyone have a source for "true" smelling non-citrus fruit oils? I have been disappointed in both save on scents and, while essential7 was much better for some, I would like to find something better. I have searched your other recommended links, but they were for essential oils (which only have citrus fruits)

Thanks so much. ;D

What specifically are you looking for? In general though I think except for citrus most fruit fragrances are created from synthetics.

I'm looking for true smelling peach, pear, apple, melon, apricot scents. If the synthetic smelled real and not soapy or "off" it would be fine. I haven't found a company that produces anything close to real smelling yet.

Those will all be synthetics; not that I have anything against synthetics.

I haven't ordered from this company yet but they look promising:
