Lovely smell
I bought this to use in liquid and bar soaps for it's grease cutting properties. When I read the other properties I became convinced that using it to frangrance certain soaps was a must. My husband loves the smell mixed with sweet orange in his hand soap in the shop.

Prepare to be swept away
Soft and semi-sweet notes, a touch lighter than lemon verbena, and less aromatic, reminds me of sunlight in the afternoon, song birds' singing sweet songs, and soft alpaca wool. A very light citrusy lemon with a vibrant life, not as sweet or strong as Lemon Meyer, but very close to identical with it.
