Works fine (for the most part, see below) and has a very pleasant smell.
I've used this oil on at least 50 guitars and basses. It works great and has a very pleasant smell compared to most similar products.
The only time I wasn't happy with it was on a brand new Fender Ultra that had a slightly dry fingerboard out of the box. For some reason the fingerboard smelled absolutely horrible after I used this oil on it, similar to cat's urine (and no, I don't own any cats). I guess it must have reacted chemically with whatever Fender use on their Ultra series fingerboards. It was bad, really bad! I could smell the bass in the next room for at least 6 months!
Apart from that I've never had any problems. The oil protects the fingerboard for as long as can be expected.
I won't hesitate to buy this oil again for my personal instruments but I don't think I will ever risk using it at the workshop. Luckily the Fender Ultra I mentioned above was my own. If it had been a customer's instrument it would have been an absolute disaster!
