I am making a topical for my daughters discomfort from her Cerebral Palsy and to loosen her tendons.
Medicial smell in my opinion.

Wonderful minty type scent, and very useful in my sports-massage blend. Usually not recommended for aromatherapy as is toxic especially when undiluted, but quite handy for sore muscles. Great price and good quality.
