It does contain essential oils among all the ingredients, but are not 100% pure essential oils.Being synthetic, some fragrance may have a more artificial scent than others.Fun fact:I am a long time consumer of both fragrance and essential oils. I always check the labels and when I got this set, I noticed something.In one of the pictures, you can see how the oils produced for this brand have the same manufacturer of another brand.While this shouldn't be a surprise and it doesn't break any rules, it surely explain why many of these fragrance sets on Bolo smell very similar to each other.However, for once, this is not entirely the case.I didn't know what to expect from this one and I was skpetical at first, but my curiosity and the relatively cheap price eventually took over, so I bought it.Package is nice, comes with a leaflet and the box is sturdy, doesn't feel cheap. This was a good start.It has 12 bottles 10ML each.The oils were tested on an electric oil diffuser and a oil burner (using a candle).All the scores are based on my personal preference.Vetiver: Ingredient listed are rosehip oil, grape seed oil and vetiver oil. This is the first one I tried and it does mimic vetiver decently. It's light in tone and doesn't smell too intense with 2 drops for 20 ML of water.Score: 6/10Sandal wood: Ingredients listed are sandalwood essential oil and sunflower seed oil. It very mild and volatile, not too intense. However, I prefer it this way as it smell more natural.Score: 6.5/10Black pepper: Ingredients listed are black pepper essential oils, ginkgo and evening primrose oil. Very light and with a mild pepperish after scent. Not bad for quite an extravagant fragrance.Score: 6/10Oakmoss: Ingredients listed are vetiver, cedarwood and sunflower seed oil. Rather pungent and peculiar. It does mimic oakmoss but I don't personally like it. It's purely personal taste.Score: 5/10Cypress: Ingredients listed are cypress and sunflower oil. The nature of this scent is very subtle, even in its natural environment, so surely not easy to replicate. I find it a bit too weak for my taste, meaning you may need to add one drop more based on your preference.Score 4.5/10Sweet tobacco: Ingredients listed are sweet tobacco, vanilla and grape seed oil. This is one of my personal favorite. It's mostly vanilla with a hint of choccolate (my personal guess) but it's nice to smell.Score 7/10Teakwood: Ingredients listed are teak and sunflower seed oil. Probably one of my least favorite due to its weak, almost non-perceived, scent. However, just as for cypress, I prefer very light scent than heavier synthetic ones.Score 5/10Leather: Ingredients listed are cypress, sandalwood, patchouli and grape seed oil.This one is indeed my favorite of the whole set. Bear in mind that leather is by nature perceived differently due to its composition and personal sense of smell.The closest thing I can think of when smelling this one is a pair of good leather boots mixed with a sweet after scent. I know, I have weird taste.Score 8/10Frankincense: Ingredients are frankincense oil and sunflower seeds oil. This one is probably the least strong of the whole set, nearly impossible to detect when diluited.Score 3.5/10Black Sprouce: Ingredients are picea mariana leaf oil and sunflower oil. Not too bad, picea mariana belongs to pine's family and it reflects the nature of these trees. Resembles pine forest. Not too strong not too weak.Score 6/10Bay Rum: Ingredients listed are bay rum essential oil, grape seed oil and virgin olive oil.With this being the strongest of the whole set, either you're gonna love it or hate it.No middle ground for this very extravagant fragrance. It does smell a bit more synthetic than the others but I still liked it.Score 6/10Bitter coffee: Ingredients arabic coffee seeds and sunfower seed oil. This is probably the most true-to-its-name scent of the whole set. It does indeed smells like coffee ground and you're into this kind of scent, you wont be disappointed.Score 7/10Conclusions:All in all the set is good value for money. I can see why they called it Gentleman and surely there are 4 fragrances with a precise "identity".Leather, Sweet tobacco, Bitter Coffee, Bay Rum are the best of the whole set.Black pepper, black sprouce, sandawood, oakmoss, vetiver mid tierCypress, teakwood, frankincense, low tier.The oils do not smell all similar to each other and it's a nice set for fragrance oil nerds like me, who are tired of the same old super common scent.Recommended as gift for people who have some knowledge on how to use fragrance oils.If this is your first time using them, go for more classic scents such as lavender or peppermint.I am overall pleased with this set and I will buy another different set from Salubrito's to test it out each oil's identity.

I am quite impressed with these especially after my previous purchase with another seller. Oils I put hased last week, I strongly believe that they were just water in bottles. I threw them in bin. But these are nice and strong smell. You can blend them as well. I found what I was looking for. 1 down side is I think couple of them smells like glue. And frankensense is very mild. But for the purpose it is ok. They make my home smell nice. Thank you to seller.

A.C. · 5 January 2025

They are ok as a cheap alternative but as a neom girl fragrance wise and quality and length of fragrance they don’t compare x smells are ok but not all and you need double the amount to a neom to smell it so false economy

4.0 out of 5 stars Lovely scents but not very strong.

v.s. · 18 April 2025

Lovely scents, but not as strong as I had hoped. Takes half the bottle to get any lingering smell. I sprinkle them on pot pourri to revive but although it smells lovely the scents do not last.
