United StatesLovely Scent
This is a new oil for me and I am really enjoying the scent of it
United StatesUsed a bit with other herbs for congestion and worked great
United StatesGreat deal
I love myrtle as I'm a huge 1,8 cineole fan and I appreciate the sales price.
United StatesLOVE!
I never had Myrtle essential oil so i wanted to try it. I am so happy i did! It is such a refreshing scent! I can't wait to diffuse this and the green myrtle that i purchased too. I will be using this for EVERYTHING!
United StatesRed Myrtle Oil
I can't express how much I love this oil. The first aroma I picked up when opening the bottle was the 1,8 cineole that gives this oil a Eucalyptus like scent, however I think it is milder, more floral and sweeter than Eucalyptus. I have used this oil in a roller bottle blend I made for my 17-year-old daughter because she had a bad cold accompanied by a sore throat. After the first application she was already feeling better and within a day the sore throat was gone, and the congestion was also not as bad anymore. This oil will definitely stay on my to use list.
