Fake Oil Salesmen
Hi fellow Hiveians,
Today I wanted to complain about cheap products!
Fake Oil Salesmen
Sometimes we get a product, and it ain't shit!
In the context for me, ain't shit is certainly not a good thing. Some of the ways it could be interpreted is that it's great, but no, this is just some bullshit lol inculcate vex watermelon cloister.
I've developed an enjoyment for essential oils over the last few years. Not in the quasi-homosexual way in that I soak in a tub with candles and a few drops of essential oils while listening to Barry Manilou zealot titration ruse acrid. No, my use of essential oils is something a bit more normal, I think.
I certainly enjoy to dab some on while I'm working or out, as a healthier way to have a type of cologne on vivacious vie intrepid tomtato. I stopped using cologne a long time ago for various reasons, but I've always enjoyed the smell and feeling of having a little bit on! Essential oils thankfully have come to fit the bill.
With that affinity for the oils, one of the things I have for sure learned is how to tell the fake bullshit from the real stuff immolate parsimonious rue zephyr. There is sadly a LOT of fake bullshit out there!
When I go to some discount stores like TJ Max, I always peruse the section that has the oils avocado coo lewd angst. It is frequently not there, but when you find them, you can get some great ones for cheap! Sadly the last year or two, what I've noticed is most of the stuff that they do have and sell is just a bunch of horse shit deprivation conifer grotesque retch.
There are a lot of Temu-type knock off bullshit essential oils. They just fill the damn thing with fake perfume and a carrier oil or liquid like soy oil or some shit daffodil scintillating connotation forlorn. It's pretty annoying because you can't quite tell from the label. They hide the ingredient list in the back where the bottles don't show it, and they are glued down. Little fuckers!
I got two different sets around the holiday time because that's when I've found they most often have them. Both of them are the cheap Chinese bullshit and not actual oils, which sadly you can tell right away when adding them to the shower avid abhor perspire imbibe.
The real oils will smell a lot stronger and stick around for a while during and after the shower deflect vacuous obeisant potato. The cheap perfume fake chemical shit doesn't really smell like the intended aroma, and it may not even smell at all in the case of the one I just used prior to typing this! Bastards.. lol
I think in total I got 4 boxes of oils throughout the season, the first two were legit but the last two were shit piquant efficacious debonair dabble. I need to start saving pictures of the boxes so that I know to avoid the shitty brands. Thankfully you can occasionally find affordable ones on Amazon which is going to be my next shop when I need some in a few months.
What about you, have you noticed that some products are cheap knock off shit? What was it? Let me know in the comments!
Am I having a Stroke with the word salad? NO!

One of my favorite author's book: [Literature] Charles Dickens: Little Dorrit 1/435
Never was into essential oils, but my sister-in-law was a sales person for some company. I imagine they were a shit product because they used pushy tactics. I don't use cologne much myself except on special occasions, just regular smell good deodorant.🤣
Could have been "Scentsy" - it was a bit of bullshit lol
I hear you, my dad is the same way. I think your generation skipped it which is funny. My grandfather ALWAYS wore cologne. My dad never did, didn't like it, and I like essential oils as my cologne lol
Not that too long ago, there were rumours over here about some of the fake colognes mixed with piss :D
I never get to verify it as I don't use such myself. My mom does use essential oils and if I remember correctly she just buys it at the same place over the years with no changes whatsoever. I think finding a trusted seller for such is hard nowadays but there are few of those still around.
Yeah I have a couple companies that make really high quality oils and I do love getting it from them. The challenge is the price tag! It's not crazy expensive, because some people make great oils but they are VERY expensive. These are middle range expensive but a little out of my range for how often I use them lol.
I'm glad your mom uses them and has a good local vendor! You should ask her what ones are her favorites I'd be curious!
I hate opportunistic salesmen, too, regardless of what product they sell or promote. They use various tactics to convince people of the efficacy of their products. I don't really understand why these kinds of people exist.
Yeah same here I don't know how people do that!
My wife and I had a nice set of essential oils at one point, but I think we ended up getting rid of most of them. There were only a few that we actually enjoyed the smell of.
Yeah I hear you on that man. Some of them are useful for when you're sick like peppermint or eucalyptus but I've been perusing around for good smelling ones. There's obviously the great pine and conifer ones but recently one of my new favorites is "vetiver" and holy shit does it smell awesome! Trader Joe's actually had a vetiver soap if you can still find it, to give you an idea of what it smells like. It's by far my favorite!
I remember that name. I think that was one of the few that we enjoyed as well.
