I read that the smell is not great - has anyone tried to mix it with some essential oil to improve the smell of it?

I think it has a bit of a musky smell but it is only at first and it isn't super unpleasant imo. I put Young Living Gentle a Baby blend in mine sometimes to help with wrinkles and I can't smell the rosehip seed oil at all after that.

I use vitamin e and coconut oil in mine. And I added in peppermint oil to offset the smell.

No. Not to me. I'm pleased with the smell. I think olive oil has a worse smell and I've still used it. I sauté foods and rub meats with it. It is thicker, but I keep it refridgerated so it takes a minute to thin out. Hope this helps.

Hello Joani. I mix it with almond oil but I suppose that any food grade oil would do.

Janice S.; If I were You stick to PLant Therapy Products!! I ordered some Patchouli Oil from, NOW, essential oils, and would NOT order from them again,it smelled good for 1 day. Now it just smells weird, NOT Patchouli Oil!!!

My experience is that the blend is so subtle you won't be any more aware of the patchouli than any of the other notes. In fact, the oil blends so well that I would be surprised if anyone would pick up on its fragrance at all once you were dressed. Only my 4 year old son seems to notice "a good smell" when he snuggles me close.

I always use thus and it should be very light with little to no smell. I would return it if I were you. Do you mind telling us which Seller you bought this from? I just bought a new one myself and it's fine. Just wanna make sure I stay away from whoever you bought from. :-)

Mine also smells like old cooking oil. I have purchased Now oils before with no problems but this one has a horrible smell.

The insert that came with the lamp says not to add any oils or sprays, so I personally haven't tried it. There was a strange odor in my apartment when I moved in, and I have noticed that it has disappeared within a week of using this lamp, however. I haven't tried it with any strong cooking odors, though.

I love mine. It's herbal and smells like citrus - oranges. It is not cheap. If you thought it was bad go to Loreal on line. I think it is wonderful. Herbals are usually put in a neutral oil as a carrier.

It warms up. I heard if you add some water instead of constantly adding oil...it will bring out the smell. But it's so cold where I live I haven't tried it yet.

Mine doesn't really have much of a scent, or taste either. It better be Almond Oil... because that's what I paid for. I'd send an inquiry to Essential Depot if you are still unconvinced.

I mixed it with neem oil, vodka, lavender and cedar wood oils. Works like a charm!

I put it in a hot oil burner & it makes my room smell wonderful. Add a drop or two to lotion it smells marvelous.. Add to potpourri.

I never did! And when it's time for a washing take it to an organic dry cleaner. I made the mistake of washing it at home on a gentle cycle and it made it have a very strange smell for two or so months. I finally got rid of the smell by laying flat in the sun about every day! My baby loves his lamby!!! Fits in the b.o.b stroller as well. I also use it in the grocery cart underneath the baby cart cover for added comfort for him!!!

It shouldn't have any smell at all. Please call Amazon and get a replacement. When I had it, it only had a very slight aroma...nothing bad.
