Which fretboard oil?

[wraub]

I use F-One. I dab on a dot between each fret, wipe it around the area, let it sit a couple of minutes, and then wipe it off thoroughly. Seems to work, smells nice, and a bottle will last at least a decade.

I keep coming back to recommendations for F_One because I'm looking for stuff that's not petroleum based, but- you say it smells nice, is it scented? What's it smell like?
Asking because some scents are no-go for me or my guitars.

I have been using the Dunlop System 65 line on my guitars for as long as I can remember.
My preference is for Rosewood/Pau Ferro and that is what is on MOST of my guitars.
I clean and oil the fretboards once a year. Has worked well for me.

I took a chance and bought that whole kit on the recommendation of a kid at Guitar Center years ago. I have never regretted it!! It’s the only kit I’ve ever used and each bottle does what it’s supposed to do.

Subjectiveness aside, I'd describe it as fairly bright and fresh. Not quite lemony, but like lemon in a similar way to how carob is like chocolate. It's noticeable for at least a few days after I apply it. Probably gone in a week or less.

Good to know. Thanks.
