I LOOOOOVE Spikenard! It's so musky & dusky & tenacious! I know it's NOT everyone's cup of tea (I have heard some humourous descriptions of it when presented) but if you are into grounding, deep, rich, earthy scents (my personal faves), give it a try! Blends wonderfully with those other earthy oils for the most decadent soily accords!!

Spikenard is an amazing oil. I love it's deep earthy complex aroma. So grounding, relaxing and it relieved headache and neck pain more than once. I didn't see anything written about it having analgesic properties so I was pleasantly surprised. The only thing about buying this Spikenard is that it is very fresh and has some harsher volatile components that disappear once it has aged. I didn't know that, I just put it away and then later it was the Spikenard that I knew and loved. You have to be patient. The price keeps going up on this so get it while you can. I ma getting more.

I want to love Spikenard, but it's pretty intense. I find if I dilute it and blend it with a floral (ylang, ylang, lavender, rose) it makes for a great foot massage. Since it's been distilled from the root, the energetic effects are very earthy and grounding. A little goes a looooooong way.

I had never smelled spikenard before, and wanted to get it because it was mentioned in the Bible and I wanted a greater spiritual connection to my faith. Well...in the bottle, it smells like a mix of camphor and the moldy smell I get when I leave my clothes in the washer for several days. Not too surprising, since it's related to Valerian, another plant with roots that smell of stinky feet. But once it's on the skin, it dries to a very deep woodsy scent. It reminds me of sandalwood without a hint of sweetness, or a dry, wooden sauna. Still retains some of the mold odor, but it would probably do much better in a fragrance blend, and others might not mind it so much. Aside from the scent, it seems potent; I think those who want the oil for therapeutic rather than fragrance purposes, or who want a cheaper, natural, and more ethical alternative to sandalwood for scent may be very pleased.

If you are a migraine sufferer, Spikenard is a must. The price is a little high, but for the relief I gain, it's worth it.

What a glorious Spikenard this is! It's almost leathery, "I-need-to-ride-my-Arabian Steed-off-into-the-Desert-sunset" headiness is perfect for my Perfume. I give it 100!
