Guest guest Posted February 4, 2000 Report Share Posted February 4, 2000 Dear Annie: I have been working with the oil for several years. The typical scent is a nutty-garlic smell. It is not pleasant at all! No, it has not gone rancid, that is just the way neem smells. It is incredibly therapeutic and if you need the oil, you will soon learn to appreciate it, even with the smell. The scent can be masked by citrus oils, especially citronella. What is your intended application for the neem? Also, did you purchase it from a garden store? Sometimes the neem there is not pure and has added pesticides. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask!

Guest guest Posted February 6, 2000 Report Share Posted February 6, 2000 If that doesn't help enough, Annie, consider getting either neem soap, a neem cream, or neem leaves to take a bath with (make as a tea). These usually don't smell anywhere near as strong as straight neem oil. All are effective, none as effective as the neat oil though! Good luck!

Guest guest Posted July 20, 2009 Report Share Posted July 20, 2009 Michele, This is what I have been using in my home: http://neemtreefarms.com/bioenviro-concentrate-p-237.html I mix it up at the heavy duty concentration for 32 oz and add two capfuls of straight neem oil that I buy from this site. Safe, no chemicals. I have found the soaps far better for me than any of the chemicals that I have tried. It will aggrevate them at first, but I have kept at it and it's starting to pay off big time. They seem to grow weaker with each spraying. I've even grown to like the smell of this product with the mints added to it. I'd like the smell of anything the bugs don't...lol bob > > > > > > > > > > I wear it as a mask all over my body and head every single night.

Do this a total of 2-3 days in a row and the results should be good. > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
