ginab65 Posted September 9, 2015 Share Posted September 9, 2015 I bought a bottle of fragrance oil from someone on Ebay who I'd never tried before. The oil I received has a less than impressive scent in quality and strength and it has a chemical smell to it, not like my other oils. I want to get a refund if I can show it's cut. They also advertise them as concentrates that are stronger than fragrance oils and require less. I thought that FO's in their true form and uncut were the strongest form of scent. Either way, I made a room spray at 3 ml to 4 ounces and it's nowhere near as strong as any of my others. It's pumpkin pie so it should be all that mild.

ChrisR Posted September 9, 2015 Share Posted September 9, 2015 It doesn't necessarily mean it's a cut scent, it just could be a lousy FO. I don't honestly know how you would prove it's cut, as all FO's are mostly chemical based. Unfortunately, people can say anything about anything now-a-days and one of the reasons I don't buy FO's from people on Ebay that I don't know. There are a few good ones, as have been listed in this section, but I don't think there are many. Maybe someone else would have any idea if you can tell. Sorry you got ripped. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TallTayl Posted September 9, 2015 Share Posted September 9, 2015 I have a hard time buying fragrance without an IFRA certificate from any vendor. Without any sort of documentation on ebay it seems we are buying a pig in a poke. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
