I remember reading the previous review (by WomanoftheWorld) about its unworldly odor but since it was only one review I ignored it. I assumed that they received a bad batch.. a dud... or maybe being a Woman of the World, her standards are much higher than mine, a man of a block. Or worse, that it was written by a lone, disgruntled former employee hoping to tarnish the NOW Food empire that may have not given her a raise she deserved NOW. Now said later, not knowing that would cost them a prize employee, and a scathing Amazon write up!

Even before I opened the bottle, the box foreshadowed the most unpleasant smell and I feared the reviewer might have been correct. But it was also handed to me by someone who is occasionally odorous himself.. so in further denial I entertained the idea that it must have been residue from his smelly, grubby hands...the kind of hands that -if there was a giant wheel that keeps the underworld warm and hellish- turns that wheel for eternity only to occasionally break to repaint itself with pig vomit.

Opening it confirmed the smell. It's still lingering. But I won't ask for a refund because of the service done in putting my friends smell in perspective. It's not so bad after all. Thank you NOW foods.

I love eucalyptus oil and have many uses for it. This product, however, has a smell underneath the eucalyptus which makes it most unpleasant. I will either return it or throw it out! I have purchased NOW oils before that were fine, though, so maybe this is just a problem for the eucalyptus scent. Do not buy!

I would not recomment this product because it is not real eucalyptus oil....or maybe I just got a bad batch. It smelled horrible, nothing like eucalyptus is supposed to smell. I will continue to purchase the Aura Cacia brand because I never had problems with them.

I love all the oils that come from this company. They are strong and not diluted like some. A little of this on a cotton ball will make the room smell nice for a few days.
