I just love this oil. I can never be without it. It works wonderfully in a blend for my lung problems.
This is the best Ravensara I have ever used...The odor is VERY strong......but fabulous.....A must have when you are sick.

A licorice like smelling oil extremely useful for stress reduction, detoxification and digestion complaints. It has powerful tonic and anti-viral properties and will definitely help with anxiety and nervous fatigue. A very good, helpful oil to use to fight bacterial and viral infections. A must have oil.

I find this to smell much like licorice but with a sweet floral note! I personally do not like the smell of licorice but I do love this scent! I find that the longer I smell it the more it changes! I cant wait to start using this one in many areas of my work!

I agree with the other review that it has an anise smell to it and also reminds me of a wild minty plant that used to grow near my house. It is a curious scent that adds an interesting note to blends. As far as fragrance goes, it is a nicer and lighter medicine smell than Eucalyptus.

I tried this oil out of curiosity. known as an antibiotic and bacteria inhibitor i wanted to try it in a blend to use after body waxing. in a blend of lavender,niauoli,small amount of thyme and parsley the ravensara added a complex and pleasent dimension to my blend. when i first scented ravensara i wasnt sure i liked it but then i began to blend it and wow! now i love it and use it as well in diffusion for colds,flu and viral infections. has a anise like smell but more medicinal (i love medicinal smells personally). the nail techs in our salon love it for pedicures and smells great when blended with spearmint! so give it a try and you will find it amazing in many different blends. from now on ravensara is one of my must have essential oils.
