Rating: There's no denying that helichrysum is unique and strong. I took a chance ordering it because something appealed to me. After a few months of having it, I love it. The smell has personality and complexity that I love, and it's great when diluted and mixed. My skin loves it and I've put it in shampoos and lotions as well. It's not an oil for the faint of heart, but the reviews were helpful in deciding if I could open my mind to it. I'm glad I splurged on it!

Rating: Helichrysum fragrance can take a little getting used but when familiar with the characteristics this one is beautiful. I am just beginning to work with this Helichrysum and appreciating.....
Effective and quick inhalant: cools and soothes heated emotions and helpful with opening slightly stuffy sinus - make softer and more inviting by blending.
I am starting to work with it in warm compress and massage oils for achy over worked hands and liking the results so far.
Apt name...splendidum

Rating: I love this oil, I made soap with the Helichrysum water and mixed a small amount of this Helichrysum oil with Rosehip seed oil and the smell was floral and light. I just love it mixed with other EO and carrier oils. I was worried that the smell would be over powering but it wasn't and I will definately be using this product again and again.
Rating: I really like this one. I use it on its own all the time, but for those of you who are not to fond of this smell, keep in mind that it is a Mid to Base Note, which means that it will serve as a good foundation in a mix of essential oils. I for example do not like Ginger in its pure form, but mixed with other essential oil it is absolutly amazing.

Rating: Never heard of this oil before buying. Can't tell much about its healing proprerties but the smell is terrible, in my opinion. Very strong and obtrusive. Wasn't able to use it.
New Directions Aromatics Response:
African Helichrysum is a relatively new Essential Oil, and has not yet gained popular acceptance. It should not be confused with our other Helichrysum, as the African variety has a completely different botanical name.
The fragrance is consistent with what the African Helichrysum should smell like. It is best described as being a combination of floral and mint. It is certainly a strong product, and one we expect to grow in popularity as more literature becomes available.
It may also interest customers to know that the distillery we have purchased from is one of the most reputable companies in Africa.
