Although a strong scent, it is very grounding. I would not want to be without this oil. it is very calming. Use with a carrier oil for a relaxing massage or on the bottom of the feet before bedtime for a full night sleep.

I used this under an acne treatment recommendation. Definitely helps to heal, but hasn't helped much in the preventative treatment of. And maybe I'm too new to this to consider the aroma, but no one in my home that has gotten a whiff is thrilled with it. It's very strong to us and I just can't seem to get used to it.

So happy you finally got more in stock!
This one is a bit different from other vendoes but I love that!
This one is more green - fresher - piney as they say in the NOTE section above here.
So if you are looking for what you have had before then try where you got it before - if you want a new spin on an old classic this is the one for you!
I look forward to using it as it will give my perfumes an edge over what everyone is accustomed to!

This Galbanum (Ferula galbnifelua) is totally different in composition to the dramatically exotic one I normally use from Iran (ferula gummosa). Although is smells similar, when put on the skin, it changes too much for me to be able to use it in my Fragrance instead of the Iranian one.
However, I would use it when I compound another Perfume!
I would like to see the Galbanum from Iran (Ferula gummosa), included in the list because it is far superior in quality than this one.

This is a very complex, interesting oil. It is very different in the bottle, than in the end product. I used a drop in massage oil and it adds a crisp note for me, that is almost inperceptable. Thank you for offering the 1/6 oz size so everyone can try this very unique oil.

Excellent price for the value you get, this one is rarely stocked because of its price. It has many therapeutic uses such as; for Abscesses, acne, asthma, boils, bronchitis, catarrh, chronic coughs, cramp, cuts, flatulence, indigestion, inflammation, mature skin, muscular aches and pains, nervous tension, poor circulation, rheumatism, scar tissue, skin toner, stress-related complaints, wrinkles, wounds. Worth it if you are a serious aromatherapist.
