Reminds me of curry and Indian cooking.

I have to admit that out of the bottle this oils stinks. HOWEVER, when you blend it with some lemongrass, grapefruit, lemon or lime essential oils, it becomes suddenly wonderful. You must use a very small amount though, as it is quite strong. I keep coming back to ginger blends for my soaps and aromatherapy diffuser recipes and I love this oil. Give it a chance - don't trust how it smells out of the bottle.

This ginger EO is perfect for a warming massage blend. When diffused with lime EO, we find it brings a calm, uplifting vibe to the house...if that makes sense! A little is all that is needed.

I bought this primarily for cooking but also for some aromatherapy recipes I want to try. It will open up to a nice fresh ginger smell once diluted, but smells so pungent, full strength, it is almost garlicky. Amazing for cooking, blend with sesame oil.

This oil is strong and it doesn't take much to spice up a fragrance. I use it with orange scents or in combination with cinnamon and clove scents also. Just a hint of it will add a bit of lasting power to perfume blends. Great product!

My daughter and I both love, love, love this ginger essential oil! It's very strong, as others have mentioned, and it goes a very long way. We made a blend using 1 part ginger, 1 part basil, 2 parts fennel, 4 parts grapefruit, and 6 parts lemon, and added it to sunflower oil for a really nice summery oil for massage, and for our cellulite. The ginger shines through beautifully. Not sure our legs look better, but they sure do smell good! I am looking forward to soaping it. It's so nice when you can use such a small amount. On the fence? Go for it! You'll be glad you did. =)

Ginger fan over here! Definitely have to be careful with this oil. A little goes a looong way!! If use too much the smell is quite strong. Gave me a headache. But the benefits is GREAT! Great for PMS. Definitely did wonders for my scalp and hair. Skin as well. Love this oil. Look forward to experimenting this with other things. Thank you Camden Grey!

To all who consider purchasing this oil, please bear in mind that it is HIGHLY concentrated and VERY pungent! When I received my order a few days ago, I opened the bottle, took a deep whiff, and was shocked by how little it's scent (initially) resembled the fresh ginger I use in my cooking. It wasn't until I diluted it in a carrier oil that its true beauty (and YES, its warm and spicy FRESH ginger aroma) came shining through. This oil is one I am especially eager to add to my CP soaps!

I used this EO to make a fragranced body oil that is a hit with my fiance and I. The spicy scent brought out the other oils involved in the combination to create an enticing aroma that calmed me down to a meditative state. I always loved the scent of ginger and this EO smells so much like freshly cut ginger that I want to cook with it...lol...

Ginger is a staple in our household for food, and now with Camden-Grey's ginger essential oil it is a staple in my cold process soap. If you ever use fresh ginger in your food, this is exactly how it smells. Thanks to this wonderful product, my family can not only enjoy the benefits of ginger in our diet, but now as a skin care product! Excellent product and this was the best price I could find on the product after doing extensive comparison pricing. But even better, the better price was not a sacrifice in quality.
