So I am new to the whole beard thing honestly. But in the time I have had mine I have used around 20 or so different oils and have never been happy with them. Most make my beard to greasy for my person liking. The Beardoctane Citrafella is the opposite. It soaks in and my beard has gotten quite a bit soften and I am not even through my first bottle yet. Also with all others the citrus scent is gone after an hour or so but with Citrafella it is around all day and not over powering at all. Don't know how they did it but hey I like it.
