Earthy Scent and very calming

I've smelled other brands of spikenard that have not been very pleasant. This actually smells very nice to me - reminiscent of vetiver and patchouli. I combine it with lavender oil (and carrier oil) and apply topically for sleep and relaxation in the evenings.

Nice nard

spikenard is a super weird smell but my skin seems to really respond to it. this spikenard is nice, a little less musky than the other kinds I've tried, it's a little reminiscent of valerian and angelica.
