How is this oil different than regular cedar oil for indoor furniture? Does this oil have that nice cedar aroma?

Does not smell like cedar. Has a slight turpentine smell due to solvent diluent, but not objectionable.

It is supposed to be safe foe vegetables while the furniture one is toxic. It does have the cedar smell initially but as it dries it will fade.

It does not have a nice cedar aroma and should not be confused with cedar essential oil. This oil absorbs well and easily cleans up. We are happy with this purchase.

The oil is basically odorless. This oil is thicker than regular cedar oil for outdoor furniture. The first coat absorbs very rapidly. I let it dry overnight before I applied the second coat. The second coat took very little of the oil. I live in SoCal, my garden bed faces west and gets the hot day's sun. It still looks great after a year.

it's food grade. smells like citrus and cedar combined, but weather will wear away the smell quickly if your plantars are outside.

I cannot remember the smell, but it's like the tiger repellant I bought, ... It works and did the job. It's gone thru the better part of a Minnesota winter and the wood still looks pretty good.

It has a very faint woodsy smell. The subtle smell goes away shortly after use. I have been into healthy face and body creams/oils since the 60's and we really do not need "fragrance" on our skin since it absorbs like a sponge. This oil is so light and really hydrates my dry skin so I have used it consistently since the early 90's. Used regularly you will be pleased with the results� I hope my response has helped.

While I've had Boos boards for years now, I only used (or even knew about) the Mystery Oil until recently. I really like the oil and it smells wonderful. It does a good job. I recently purchased the Cream and - wow! It does an even better job, IMO. But I'd do as others mentioned if you have both and do the oil first. Let that sink in really well, like overnight. Then apply the cream. These are excellent products and far superior to just using some food oil on your wood products. They don't go rancid on your boards/utensils. I also use the Boos products on my olive wood utensils and ithey keep them wonderfully well. While I've had Boos boards for years now, I only used (or even knew about) the Mystery Oil until recently.

I use it in a room about that size and it does a pretty good job. Using good quality essential oils does help. Sometimes I don't this it does smell up the room enough, however when I leave and come back in I do smell the oils.

No absolutely not my experience! I have used Murphy's Oil Soap since I was a girl. My Mother had me cleaning real wood cabinets, real wood paneling, etc. Some of the benefits and uses of Murphy's Oil Soap are: It smells fresh; it cleans without leaving a soapy residue as long as you do not use too much; cuts through grease that you may encounter on cabinets and paneling; great in luke warm water for wood floors (not laminate). I love, love, love Murphy's Oil Soap. Now, if you are not certain that you want to commit to a 32oz bottle, then may I suggest that you find a smaller bottle to test how you like this product. I hope that I have answered your question about Murphy's Oil Soap. Best of luck!

When I opened bottle, I sniffed and found a light odor, nothing offensive. Instructions said to use in ventilated area, so I applied to my wooden bench outdoors. I could smell it, but nothing harsh or offensive. Light oily smell similar to furniture polish.

These are beautiful natural cedar chairs. They deserve a natural oil finish. Look for a natural clear finish (probably oil-based) that will soak in, preserve the wood, and it will dry with a beautiful gold wood colored finish that preserves the grain.

You're right! Mine doesn't run the 8 hours either. I've actually stopped using this one and went back to the one by Green Air. It DOES last 8 hours and the oils are diffused better (not sure why). I might use it lot add a nice scent to a room, but still, why would I use this one when the other one works better and I can benefit from the oils better?!

Mine had a few bumps, but that's to be expected with an unrefined oil. I have no complaints about the smell. It smells wonderfull! If the jar you have has a lot of fine little beads in it, then it has most likely been heated up to the point where it is liquefied more than once. I have had that happen with other brands of coconut oil that I kept in rooms that were around 70 degrees. It liquefied, and when it hardened again it had little bumps in it.

There was a lovely cedar wood fragrance that dissipated quickly after the bench was put together. Reminded me of my mom's cedar hope chest from childhood. I am using this bench in my formal living room. Believe me, if there was a problem, it would not be in there! LOVE this product and would purchase another one if I needed it.

I'm sorry. I only use it to disperse in the air, as a fragrance. So I don't know. I only have ever used essential oils for room fragrance purposes.

I'm not an expert, but from my knowledge, essential oils are basically used aromatically, for scent. This extract is something taken internally and does not have a good scent at all, basically smells like alcohol. So, no I would think they are not the same at all.

It's a VERY thick oil. I don't think it would ever mix with the oil. I used it inside an old dresser. A month later, it smells GREAT, like a typical cedar closet but, when I was applying it, the kids thought it smelled like burnt kettle corn, lol. Keep looking around, there are some good cedar sprays on Amazon.

I have always used mineral oil for food surfaces like cutting boards. Not tung oil. I use tung oil for furniture and for stocks.

No strong smell. It has a mild pleasant smell of wood, but that's what quality furniture should smell like. I don't notice it and I've only had mine for a few months.

Lavender & Sage has a brighter, slightly stronger scent. I would have gone with the Cedarwood, except my son was there when I was smelling the store testers and he insisted the Lavender one smelled good and the other one did not. :-)
