Minty fresh
Cons: not a dupe for the discontinued blue oil. Wish they'd bring that back Pros: smells great. Fantastic massage oil or oil addition for sore muscles. Texture is A+.

Bring Back Blue Oil PLEASE!!!!
Bring Blue Oil back please!!! I relied on Blue Oil almost daily to treat tension headaches and to abort a migraine. I now use the cooling oil as an expensive carrier oil for peppermint essential oil. This is probably my last purchase of the cooling oil after years of being a loyal customer.

I was hoping it would be similar to blue oil & active oil
I appreciated the effort of making the cooling oil. It's a nice and refreshing oil however, it doesn't compare to BLUE OIL or ACTIVE OIL. I've been praying Aveda will bring those two products back in stock. They were my staples and helped me so much. Cooling oil is nice if you just want a refreshing oil but there is no other benefit. Please I'm begging for Aveda to bring back blue oil and active oil! I miss a Ton of the discontinued products but those were unbelievably amazing.

When will you bring back Blue Oil? Cooling oil doesn't work.
I used the blue oil for years and it always helped. Why did you discontinue it? It was very popular and helpful. The cooling oil you've replaced it with doesn't do anything to help. It might as well be a placebo.
