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
I recently used this in a batch of cold process soap and so far so good.
I just hate the smell. I wished I liked it but I dont as I find it strong and overwhelming.
Wow! I knew nothing about this oil until my daughter told me she used it and mentioned all it's wonderful properties. It's a clean, multi-layered smell with citrus and floral tones and I can't wait to make a room spray that includes this scent. Perhaps with grapefruit or orange and some lemon?!
