This really is a fantastic little set of oils. As other reviewers have indicated, the blends are neither too strong nor too weak; in most of the blends you can usually pick up on the "stronger" aromas right away (for example, in the meditation blend the sweet orange is quite noticeable) but never in an overpowering manner...all the components are very nicely balanced. To be completely honest, I simply cannot praise these enough. I've really enjoyed all of them. For those who have not the knowledge & experience (or the patience) for attempting to create your own blends, these bottles would have you really well covered. A couple of drops in your diffuser, etc. and the beautiful fragrances will lift your spirits.Also a plus, you can tell that Eden's Garden is a smaller operation which really has a passion for its products. They shipped my order the same day and it arrived VERY quickly (unexpectedly quick, in fact). When I opened the package, they had handwritten "Enjoy" with a smiley face right there on the invoice! Might not matter to some but for me, I think it's really a nice little touch that can go a long way with a customer. Really a golden buy in my opinion...
Aphrodisiac: It smells very earthy/spicy. It's a beautiful scent and I don't think that any of the oils overpower one another. I'm not sure how it works as an aphrodisiac, but I do like using this as a perfume when mixed with a carrier oil.
Breathe Easy: With a family full of seasonal allergy sufferers, this will be used a lot! I love the combination of oils in this blend. I've found that most company's that make a congestion-relief blend tend to go overboard with the eucalyptus. You can obviously smell eucalyptus in this, but it's not overpowering. It seems to help open up the nasal passages by reducing inflammation. I've added this to my toddler's bath before she goes to bed so she can sleep easier. My older children have used this in combination with a Neti-Pot so they could breathe at night. This is also perfect to use in a diffuser or in a homemade "Vicks" rub.
Renew: It's probably my least favorite of the blends, but it does make you feel more alert. I wish that this blend didn't use eucalyptus since I associate that particular aroma with congestion. My 11 year old likes this though as she feels that it helps her on test days. I made some into a spritz for her and she uses it whenever she feels the need.
Stress Relief: Seriously one whiff of this and you will feel at ease. (I think it's the grapefruit.) This is my favorite blend in the pack. I use this in my oil burner, in lotions, mixed in with coconut oil for my hair, etc. I have a son with an autism spectrum disorder and I find that this calms him when he's upset. Even though you can definitely smell the patchouli in this blend, it smells gender-neutral.
Relaxation: It smells basically like how you'd expect it to with a combination of chamomile and lavender. It is a sweet floral scent. It's kind of a classic. The lavender is full bodied and the chamomile is very soothing. (I've noticed that some chamomiles from other companies are a tad sickening, but this one is beautiful.) I made a homemade "bedtime" lotion with this blend and also add this to my toddler's bath to help her transition to sleepy-time.
Meditation: I haven't had the chance to use this oil out as often as I'd like, but this one is great for oil burners and diffusers. It smells like one would expect a meditation blend to smell like, or perhaps like a new-age book store. I'd prefer for the frankincense to be more prominent, but I still like this blend.They came quickly in the mail (even shipped on a weekend) and arrived intact. They all smell very nice, seems to be good quality oil. My husband had some minor allergy flair up and used the Breathe oil in the diffuser he says it helped. I don't know how effective they are other than that but they do smell nice. With shipping it came out to a little over $4 a bottle which is a pretty good value; certainly cheaper than the closet place to me that sells these types of things.Not only do I love this set.. my husband (the penny pincher lol) Thought this was a great buy! Our son took a cotton ball with a drop (ONE single drop) of Breathe Easy, put it in his headboard and was able to breath w/o the stuffiness the next morning. I put the meditation in the pot of water on our wood burner and our entire house smelled so nice ... I purchased these to make bath soaps, but the possibilities are endless! Thank you .. OH and PS these got here on Saturday.. we ordered on Thursday! The packaging is beautiful as well.. perfect for gift giving :0)In the past few months I've attended four Young Living essential oils sales gatherings and have sampled many of the different oils that Young Living offers. I also have several bottles of Young Living oils that I've been using for some time.
The oils offered in the Edens Garden Synergy Blends sampler pack are very high quality and compare favorably to the Young Living oils I have used in the past. I can't decide which one in the sampler that I like the best because I truly like them all!
The packaging of these oils is flawless and the beautiful box is a bonus. My order was delivered half way across the US in a matter of days after I placed my order.
I will definitely order more Edens Garden products in the future.
