Yikes! this scent is SOOOOO strong!! Be careful what you blend it with, because it can easily overpower other scents. Although this does smell like bitter almond to me, it's so strong, sweet, and cloying that I find it completely useless to me.

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.

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.

I haven't used this scent along with the amaretto as I am hording the two for myself. The scent is enough to send you to the candy store and buy marzipan, it smells that yummy. I love it.

I definitely wouldn't call this almond bitter- if anything it smells creamy and smooth to me. It is generally a crowd pleaser (for both women and men) in my soaps and I am looking forward to putting this FO to use in making a traditionaly cherry-almond scent!

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.
