P&J Trading Fragrance Oil The Study Set | Leather, Coffee, Old Books, Cedar, Amber, Sweet Tobacco Candle Scents for Candle Making, Freshie, Soap Making Supplies, Diffuser Oil Scents

Great smelling oils once again!Not a fan of the side sliding box style opposed to the other top lifting box styles, but that's a nitpicky thing.Cedar was the only scent I found to be way off for my senses, but cilantro tastes like soap to me so I know the unique differences people have in the sensory world.All of the other scents smell exactly as described on the label...I never noticed the scent Old Books when I bought this but even that gave me memories of old books surprisingly lol

Every scent was only smells but it was so much enjoyable!

Smell very good and have been using in my diffuser everyday since receiving.

Lived up to my expectations. The smells are pleasant and strong enough for the perfumes I've been making. Some last longer than others, but I think that's just the nature of different scents. I can't wait to buy some of the other sets.

All smell good, can’t get enough of the Coffee and the sweet tobacco.

One of my favorites themed sets from P&J. Old books is such a great, and unique scent. Their oils are definitely worth getting.

I bought “The Study” collection. I was seduced by the packaging and the idea of what each fragrance might be. It turns out I really only like four essential oils in this collection. Unfortunately two of the oils were not for me. So here is a run down of what I thought of each one.Old Books ~ I love this! I can’t quite put my finger on this but to me this accord is warm with a slightly green note and a hint of Patchouli at the base. It is what I expected the “Leather” to smell like. If I am honest, this one was the impetus for buying this collection. It did not disappoint.Amber ~ I like this one. Although a little more sweet than I expected, it has beautiful woodsy and musky notes.Cedar ~ This one is accurate and very strong with a sharp almost unpleasant green note. This one would be excellent to blend with other oils to mellow it out.Coffee ~ Wow! This one is intense. Imagine you have freshly roasted coffee beans that are then ground to medium and then you pack both nostrils full. That’s what this one is like. I love it… but… good gracious, this one is strong! I am excited. In the past when I have tried to make things with a coffee essential oil it dried down to almost nothing, no matter how much I used. I really don’t see that becoming a problem with this product.Leather ~ It seemed as if this was mislabeled. I got an overwhelming scent of Tobacco and a chemical note I couldn’t pin down. I could not handle it at all. I had to put the bottle outside because it was so strong and overwhelming just sitting in the box in my house.Sweet Tobacco ~ This was a strange cloyingly sweet, green scent. I was intrigued and repulsed all at the same time. I might have gotten used to it but my husband couldn’t handle this one. I put this outside too.I gave both the leather and sweet tobacco to a friend that makes candles. Although I like the Amber and Cedar and I am keeping them, ultimately I replaced all four oils with Gourmand oils produced by the same company. I was hoping to buy the “Old Books” in a singular bottle but no such luck. For me it was worth it because I was able to swap out what I felt went together better. I wouldn’t go so far as to recommend this collection.

I am so impressed by these scents! I have tried many oils and candles that were supposed to be "old books" or other library/book based scents, and they often just smell like bad cologne and I can see no correlation to books. These scents are spot on. The old books is a subtle, complex vanilla scent (the breakdown in lignin in some old paper actually contains vanillin- an organic compound found in vanilla)The "cedar" is not that strong, chemical cedar scent that is used in candles around the holidays. This smells like fresh cut cedar wood.The sweet tobacco and amber smell like natural scents to me, but I don't have a frame of reference for comparison.The leather scent smells like a tack store, and I mean that in the best way possible. The coffee scent is also spot on and so pleasing. They don't smell perfumey or chemical-y at all.I'm so very impressed and can't wait to order some more sets! Highly recommend.
