Spikenard
Oil
This glorious Earth scent is mildly sedating but does
not cause loss of awareness and so is often used for meditation.
The musky, earthy, planty scent comes from the oil of the rhizome
and is often combined with valerian in medicine for treatment
of hysteria. This scented oil is made from the essential oil
and golden jojoba, not petrochemicals. I am now using a more expensive CO2-distilled
spikenard that smells even better. It comes in a nice frosted glass bottle
and makes a wonderful natural perfume--it's one of my personal favorites. The
smell in the bottle is not the same as the smell after application.
The musky scent evaporates quickly, leaving a very pleasant, cool,
sweet scent, so don't be put off by the immediate smell. This
subtle oil releases its scent when it is applied, not in the bottle. Top
