I am very pleased with the scent of this EO. I added it to my mixes to add more definition. I would not hesitate to purchase it again from ND.

I'm a big fan of the scent of coriander, but not the taste. So using it in a diffuser allows me to get the smell without having to cook something w/ it :P

Earthy, lemony, and just perfect! I like the scent of this oil. Use in moderation as it does seem to have a slight warming effect.

Like Sherif, I wasn't wild about this scent out of the bottle, so I didn't use it for a few months, but now I find the scent very pleasant. I don't know if this is due to Coriander's reputation for improving with age or simply some change in my way of experiencing it. (I've only had this oil for a few months, which seems like too short a time for the fragrance to change radically...). When I initially smelled it, this oil seemed quite pungent, perhaps a little smoky or acrid. Now it reminds me of yeast bread baking in the oven. (No, I am not confusing this with Caraway)! The scent is mild and pleasant, and seems to unify other spice oils when used in combination. As for the oil's therapeutic properties, the jury is still out for me. I've personally used this for migraines in a blend of oils to enhance the scent, then applying the oil at the appropriate ganglia and accupressure points. This has been marginally helpful, but without more empirical evidence or medical proof that this oil eases migraine pain, I won't vouch for its healing properties in this regard.

I disagree with the previous poster. While age does improve Coriander this oil is VERY nice. Perhaps the difference in a lot number is why mine is better, however it is VERY lovely and I intend to use this in my next perfume blend.

I personally was not pleased with the scent of this oil. It's scent gave me, my wife, and my mom shivers. DO NOT GET FOR THE SCENT! For aromatherapists, this oil is exquisite. Does not smell sweet at all. My rating is strictly based on the attractability of the scent of this oil, since i am a natural perfumer.

This is just an addition to my other review, as I raved about all it's uses and never named any. So, here are some of the ways I use this wonderful oil and this one's at a great price! Though it may be stupefying in large doses. Use in moderation for aches and pains, anorexia, arthritis, debility, infections, measles, migraine, nausea, neuralgia, piles, poor circulation, rheumatism, stiffness, water retention. (Also known as Coriander Seed and Chinese Parsley.) Good quality, great price.

One of my very favorite scents...especially blended with rose. This one is a must have for a true aromatherapist as it is so very useful for many things. You'll be suprised at all of its wonderful uses. I love this coriander better than any I've used in the past.
