This is a wonderful oil for circulation and relaxation. It is great to add to the bath; about 5-7 drops and have a very relaxing aromatic bath. It is also great for the skin, so if you add to the bath, your skin will be glowing. Just be careful not to splash in your eyes, as all essential oils should be used externally. You can also add this into your homemade mosquito repellant for an additional boost. Excellent product.

I thought this one was slightly medicinal at first but it develops into a wonderful scent and blends well with so many other oils!

Just lovely! The more I use it the more the scent attracts me. It is so good for your skin and one of my favorite uses is in a massage oil. I only wish I'd bought more because I want to use it all the time! Great quality. My one complaint is that when I had a teenie bit of oil on my hand the writing on the bottle's label nearly wiped off completely when I touched it. Big problem? NO...this oil is amazing! (just watch out when you touch the label.)

Just on scent alone--absolutely delightful. Fresh, light, and clean aroma, which, despite its strength is not too harsh. Blends well with others, too.
