First bottle sniff was a gag reflex (like most ginger eo's don't bother trying to sell this by itself) but this is darn good in blends for that "not so over powering" ginger smell. NICE!

If I would have known it so closely relates to citronella I would have passed and gone with the ginger root.

I just recieved this oil and I love it. If you are looking for the root sent, be sure to use the Ginger oil. This is spicy and wonderful, but as noted above it does have a green, grassy note. Still wonderful though!

I ordered the small sample bottle, I wished that I would have bought more. I made myself a body wash using the essential oils of white grapefruit, lime, lemongrass and ginger grass. Very attractive, grassy, dry and gingery. Did not irritate my skin.

I have asked some of my customers to compare ginger root with ginger grass. Every one of them chose the grass over the root! As with many essential oils, the aroma is not what is anticipated and people prefer the gentler grass scent. Interesting!
