I still trying to find best blend using this essential oil. This scent as itself pretty nice and cost performance great too.
Good alternative to lemongrass :)
Had not tried this oil before, but I absolutely love it now! And it is great value for money.
The smallest amount seems to turn a candle into an insect repellent! It mellows out a bit with time but I'm not a fan. Nothing wrong with the product, but it doesn't suit my range.
Wonderful, strong lemony smell
