Temple of India Scented Oil - Song of India - 8 ml Bottle

This is my favorite scent. It is subtle and blends with your particular body scent. I get so many compliments. I especially enjoy it along side the same scent body wash and incense as well!

I absolutely love their signature scent! I get the incense sticks and cones too!

When I first opened the bottle I was worried because the scent is overwhelmingly floral. I don't mind some hint of flowers, but I don't like primarily floral fragrances. The good news is there are other layers that seem to become more obvious as your skin warms the oil. The scent became more herbal about five minutes after I put it on. In my opinion this oil is a combination of jasmine, amber and sandalwood. I do not detect any patchouli. It reminds me of Amarige by Givenchy, but with a stronger woodsy element. This is a lot less expensive than Amarige. Plus, it is really potent, so you only need a teeny tiny bit. This bottle is pretty tall, so it will probably last about 100 years. :)

It seems as if I'm one of the few people on this planet to have never smelled Song of India's Temple of India incense. This was truly a blind buy. While scent is incredibly subjective when it comes to how we perceive them, it is helpful when people try to describe how something smells. Before I try to do that with this oil, I wanted to mention that I've tried many Indian incenses and dhoop's over the years with Sai Baba Nag Champa (blue box) and Super Hits being my all time favorites along with Triloka's vanilla. While those are creamy, exotic, highly complex scents, Song of India's is a pure white soliflore. What exactly I'm not sure as there are a number of native Indian flowers that I've yet to experience but it smells closest to a non-indolic jasmine. It's smooth, slightly green and beautiful. Underneath there is something oily that I often associate with marigolds and chrysanthemum's. This oil is extremely potent and concentrated. I dabbed some on my finger and swished it around the water of my aromatherapy difusser. The entire room was filled with white flowers within seconds. At first the scent of the oil is very realistic of white flowers but after a while, both on my skin and in the difusser it started to smell perfumy and aldehydic. After a while it dawned on me that it had morphed into a vintage perfume reminiscent of Houbigant 's Quelques Fleurs l`Original. After putting this oil on my arm I ended up having a reaction which included welts and sores. This was especially troubling because no where are the ingredients of this oil printed. Not on the box and not online. As an avid perfume oil wearer with thick skin, this was odd. I should have diluted it in a carrier oil prior to trying it on my skin but assumed it would be safe. Personally, when it comes to a non-indolic, realistic white floral that stays natural smelling and has not caused any skin irritation, I would recommend Kuumba Made's Pikake Lei over this. Still I'm happy to have finally found Song of India's Temple oil on here and given it a try. A definite must try for white floral lovers.

This oil has an amazing scent of incense. I’ve worn it for years and always get compliments. It’s a roll on glass container so you can control how much you want to put on. Gentle on skin and does not need to be diluted like some essential oils. ❤️

My favorite incense smell im so happy they make it as oil i can wear cause I love it!

A lovely peaceful scent that smells like a real temple. My parents were in the Hare Krisha temple when I was a young child. This smells exactly what I remember a temple to smell like. In the temple they would have sandalwood incense and lots of flowers. Happy people would dance around and sometimes gift me with a fragrant flower garland made of fresh carnations. I don't think the smell lasts as long as it could, but still give it 5 stars because of the pleasant memories & relaxation it gives me. Perhaps others who don't have these memories, but like these types of scents might give it 4 stars, which would still be good.

I have purchased this three times. The first two times I loved it, but the most recent purchase was disappointing because the top would not open. I was unable to unscrew the cap and place the rollerball on, so it’s unfortunately the packaging has declined since I first started buying this. I wish I could use this oil but I can’t open it. I requested a refund.

This oil has a VERY strong smell. Very little needed and long lasting. It has a very unisex vibe to it. I prefer slightly more feminine scents but just a touch of this oil adds a hint of exotic mystery to whatever vibe I'm trying to catch that day.

I was truly disappointed. I have worn the authentic Temple of India Oil that is from India and sold in France. The version I received smelled like petroleum and some other kind of chemical. iT SMELLED NOTHING LIKE THE TEMPLE OF INDIA OIL I HAD. I ordered two bottles and both smelled completely off! If you don't know what the real Temple of India oil smells like you would be so disappointed. You might want to be careful where you buy this. This was Very disappointing. Sorry for the bad review but I was so shocked someone would sell this and waste my money!
