Rating: Huile parfumée amande, Wow j'adore, odeur de l'amaretto ''cerise'' sent fort et dure très longtemps dans le savon, je le recommande fortement. 5 étoiles.
Almond scented oil, Wow, I love it, the smell of ''cherry'' amaretto smells strong and lasts a very long time in the soap, I highly recommend it. 5 stars.

Rating: My fav almond scent. Bitter and strong, just right! preformed great in cp soap, slight discoloration.
By:Michelle, Whtby, Ontario Top ReviewerDate: Loyal Customer Since: 12-Nov-2015
Rating: Such a great scent .. love it ! But it did not stick around in CP .. it lasted through the curing then a week later it was completely gone .. it’s a shame ,used it in my whipped butter and same thing . Not worth it unfortunately.
Rating: It’s a nice smelling scent, very lovely .. at first it was strong for a few weeks in cp ...but then it faded quite a lot .. by curing time it smelled about a quarter of the scent from the beginning.. it’s nice but eventually faded .. tried it in whipped butter and it was the same thing .. maybe I need to add more?? Not sure if I want to take the risk next time
Rating: This is so strong, and just almond, almond, almond! It smells like real almond extract... even down to the slightly alcoholic quality. I haven't used it yet, but I would hope it would mellow a little in a product otherwise it may need to be blended.
By:Amaris, Nepean, Ontario Top ReviewerDate: Loyal Customer Since: 23-Jun-2011
Rating: Great scent and works well in cp soaps and holds scent, but when I made bath bombs with this scent it held for about 2 weeks and then the scent completely dropped. I don't recommend for bath bombs.
Rating: If you want the sweet sweet smell of marzipan, this is the scent for you. If you are looking for a subtle or more bitter/natural almond smell, I'm afraid it might not be right for you. I found it far too sweet - I was looking for a milky/powdery soft almond scent, not a cake-like scent.

Rating: I like this fragrance because it is a very strong and pure scent. It seems more like an essential oil scent than a fragrance oil. It doesn't have a lot of depth to it but I like that. It is good for a masculine scent.
By:Christine, Barrie, Ontario Top ReviewerDate: Loyal Customer Since: 12-Jun-2015
Rating: I added about 0.5oz ppo, which is about half of what I normally use for my cold process soap. After curing for 6 weeks or so, there is no scent left in my Oatmeal Almond Soap. :( It is that wonderful cherry smell, I just wish it would stay after curing!
By:Robin, Grimsby, Ontario Top ReviewerDate: Loyal Customer Since: 03-Feb-2015
Rating: Je n'étais vraiment pas certaine de l'aimer avant de faire du cp avec hier! Je l'ai mélangée avec de l'huile essentielle d'orange et c'est juste parfait. Je crois que c'est devenu mon #1. Dans le M&P je suis moins fan par contre.
By:Julie, St-Paul-De-L'île-Aux-Noix, Quebec Top ReviewerDate: Loyal Customer Since: 31-Aug-2014
Rating: Love this FO. Very strong scent. Used in CP soap and behaved well. Will buy again
By:Tracy, Fergus, Ontario Top ReviewerDate: Loyal Customer Since: 03-Jan-2016
Rating: Out of the Bottle I thought it smelled like a solvent, it was very strong. After my CP soap cured it was a lovely sweet cherry baked goods kind of a scent. I would strongly recommend using half the amount you would normally use. A little goes a very long way. For me, it did not speed up trace, it didn't discolor. My soap is now about 8 weeks old and the scent is perfect :)

Rating: A long-lasting scent in cold process soap. I use it in my honey beeswax soap. A keeper!
By:Kim, Greely, Ontario Top ReviewerDate: Loyal Customer Since: 24-Jun-2014
Rating: Strong scent. Loving it in solid lotions.
By:Julie, South Porcupine, Ontario Top ReviewerDate: Loyal Customer Since: 20-Mar-2015
Rating: VERY strong scent you dont need a whole lot of this one. Smells wonderful and does not accelerate trace in cp soap. For me it did discolor slightly
By:Victoria, Toronto, Ontario Top ReviewerDate: Loyal Customer Since: 13-May-2013
Rating: This was one of my first fragrances I bought when I started making and selling soap. It's a winner. I love that you don't need tons of oil to make a nice scent, it's strong and wonderful. I mix mine with vanilla and do a two swirl colour with almond and vanilla (cream and brown) and call it Almond Biscotti and it's very popular! Works wonderfully in CP soap.
By:Rose, Haileybury, Ontario Top ReviewerDate: Loyal Customer Since: 15-Mar-2014
Rating: So happy with this fragrance oil, like toasted almonds with a hint of cherry. Glad I got a large bottle, I am going to try this in all my products.
By:Janet, Kentville, Nova Scotia
Date: Loyal Customer Since: 19-Apr-2015
Rating: I am extremely happy with it. It smells great in CP soaps and lasts. I will buy it again for sure!
By:Vita, St. Catharine, Ontario
Date: Loyal Customer Since: 10-Dec-2014
Rating: This is a wonderful almond scent with cherry undertones, but is very strong. I would use 1/2 the normal amount.
Rating: Smells so good, like marzipan. Behaves really well in CP, lots of play time with this one. Strong scent, a little goes a long way.
By:Dianne, Portage La Prairie, Manitoba Top ReviewerDate: Loyal Customer Since: 11-Nov-2013
Rating: Absolutely in love with this scent! Holds up well in CP. A must have!
By:Charlene, Toronto, Ontario Top ReviewerDate: Loyal Customer Since: 14-Feb-2012
Rating: I loved this scent, in M&P soaps, sugar scrubs, bath salts... you name it! A little goes a very long way (more so than some other fragrances I've tried). It reminds me of Almond Orgeat.
By:A., Dawson Creek, British Columbia Top ReviewerDate: Loyal Customer Since: 20-Jul-2013
Rating: Wasnt sure what to expect.. but just love this scent.. worked well in CP didn't have an issue. just unmolded a couple days ago.. cant wait to cut it and see the result. I am sure that my customers will like this one.
By:Celena, Lasalle, Quebec Top ReviewerDate: Loyal Customer Since: 28-Nov-2012
Rating: absolutely almond scent and love it. but it does not behave well for me in CP, makes my soap trace really fast and runs me off my feet to get batter into my molds, even try adding at trace and still have the same issue.
By:Janit, Souris, Manitoba Top ReviewerDate: Loyal Customer Since: 04-May-2013
Rating: Really wonderful! Smells like marzipan and works great in cp soap!
By:Melissa, Pugwash, Nova Scotia Top ReviewerDate: Loyal Customer Since: 20-Apr-2007
Rating: The best Almond scent I have ever smelt! Started buying it over 5yrs ago and still only buy it from NDA :)!!!!
By:Heather, Abbotsford, British Columbia Top ReviewerDate: Loyal Customer Since: 05-Mar-2008
Rating: Exactement la même odeur que le sirop d'orgeat que je buvais étant plus jeune! inroyable! utilisée en procédé ITMHP (au four), n'a pas accéléré la trace et l'odeur est bien présente (utilisée à 3% du poids de mes huiles), merci de faire des fragrance sans Phtalate, on fait des produits maisons avec des fragrances qui ne polluent pas notre peau! c'est un gros plus chez NDA, merci!
Rating: Very nice smell. I bought it because it was so inexpensive and I wanted to see what it smelled like. I will definitely repurchase this as it is an excellent price and smelled way better than I thought it would. Very much like almonds but not nauseating like almond scent usually is for me.
By:Kathleen, Edmonton, Alberta Top ReviewerDate: Loyal Customer Since: 08-Oct-2012
Rating: Hands down my favorite scent from NDA!! smells just like my mum's christmas cookies. NDA, never stop carrying this! I wish I could give it more than 5 stars
By:Stephanie, London, Ontario Top ReviewerDate: Loyal Customer Since: 03-Oct-2008
Rating: Amazing in CP soap.. scent lasts way after the 4 week curing time and doen't turn your soap brown. Highly recommended.
Rating: It's not a bad scent but it's too biter for me...
By:Melanie, St-Léonard, Quebec Top ReviewerDate: Loyal Customer Since: 01-Dec-2009
Rating: Made a lovely batch of CP soap with this! turned out wonderful! smells amazing like marzipan indeed!

Rating: This is a very good almond scent, not too bitter, not too fake.
By:Michele, Montreal, Quebec Top ReviewerDate: Loyal Customer Since: 02-Jun-2011
Rating: This was my first order ....Wow, strong strong scent. (Love the bottles)I made tarts with this oil, and almost evacuated us out of the kitchen because it smelled so strong. I will be using half and maybe less of what i usually have to. But it smells amazing, will be ordering more of this for sure. Will test on candles, to see if it burns nice, will update.
Rating: Wow! Powerful and very REAL scent. Love that it's phtalate-free. You need very little to make a big impact.
By:Azadeh, Toronto, Ontario Top ReviewerDate: Loyal Customer Since: 27-Apr-2010
Rating: The fragrance was better than I expected it to be. I was concerned by the name bitter but it reminded me of the almond essence i use in making cakes. I used it with oats in my soaps.
By:Danielle, Surrey, British Columbia Top ReviewerDate: Loyal Customer Since: 09-Apr-2010
Rating: It smells too bitter to me! it must be mixed with vanilla or something to tone it way down. A little goes a long way.
Rating: Mouthwatering marzipan scent. I've tried it in CP soap and it's fantastic! Did not discolor soap at all and the fragrance really holds. Will buy again!
Rating: I have to concur with the others here who say this fragrance is like marzipan, it really is yummy!
It was part of my first order and I'm glad I chose it.
Fast service too!
By:Diane, Toronto, Ontario Top ReviewerDate: Loyal Customer Since: 10-Jul-2009
Rating: not my fave. won't be buying again.
By:Kim, Quesnel, British Columbia
Date: Loyal Customer Since: 23-May-2009
Rating: Despite it's name, not "bitter" at all! To me, it smells just like marzipan. Very nice in a body wash.
By:Karen, Portugal Cove, Newfoundland Top ReviewerDate: Loyal Customer Since: 26-May-2006
Rating: This scent is stronger than the others I bought; so a little goes a long way! Really smells like marzipan.
By:Amelie, Montreal, Quebec Top ReviewerDate: Loyal Customer Since: 14-Feb-2009
Rating: I LOVE this oil!!! It smells so yummy... try mixing it with a cherry scent
so delicious
By:Stephanie, London, Ontario Top ReviewerDate: Loyal Customer Since: 03-Oct-2008
Rating: A really strong and wonderful almond scent in CP soap. Will definitely buy again.
By:Sonya, Hubley, Nova Scotia Top ReviewerDate: Loyal Customer Since: 24-Nov-2008
Rating: Very good fragrant oil. Really smells like almond essential oil, but is easier to keep in storage. I had very good results into soaps.
By:Louise, Montreal, Quebec Top ReviewerDate: Loyal Customer Since: 25-Feb-2006
Rating: My 8 year old son loves this scent in the CP soap I made. This fragrance oil changed the colour of the soap to a brownish/orange colour. It's quite a strong scent and I probably added too much to my 2 lb batch.
Rating: Bitter Almond has always been one of my favorite soap scents and this one does not disappoint. It works very well in cold process soaps and gave me no problems.
By:Vanice, Cambridge, Ontario Top ReviewerDate: Loyal Customer Since: 19-Dec-2006
Rating: This is a wonderful scent, soft and strong at the same time. Great for both sexes and makes a beautiful blend with coconut for a beach-y type scent.
By:Nicole, Windsor, Ontario Top ReviewerDate: Loyal Customer Since: 05-May-2008
Rating: This smells just like Dr. Pepper pop to me! I think it smells wonderful. Great scent for kids since it smells like pop!
Rating: Very good smell ! Smells exactly like "pâte d'amande" pastry. I loove it
By:Edith, Mirabel, Quebec Top ReviewerDate: Loyal Customer Since: 22-Sep-2007
Rating: Great scent , very strong , wonderful for B&B great value , I have gotten other scents thhat take half a bottle before you get a good scent, but with NDA I have yet to have any problems with just drops of scent and or the essential oils, top quality products!

Rating: loved it has a very strong scent can't wait to use it in my candles and soaps, will definately buy it again!! i definiately recommend it to anyone!
Rating: Very true and pleasing with no chemical tone that I could detect. Strong scent but also blends well with others as it is smooth. Didn't change or fade in soap.
By:Alexandra, Nanaimo, British Columbia Top ReviewerDate: Loyal Customer Since: 03-Mar-2007
