This is what a friend described as a "Metro Male" fragrance. It is, however, not synthetic, not adulterated nor diluted. You must dilute it prior to use - please safety/usage tab for additional information. I also don't totally agree that it is a "male" fragrance. I love it, diffuse it and use it as a perfume diluted in jojoba oil. I also add it to our room sprays - again see our usage tab. Let us know what you think.
Palmarosa (Cymbopogon martinii)

Palmarosa Essential Oil (Cymbopogon martinii var. motia)
Palmarosa became one of my favorite essential oils this past year, after a decade of being ignored by me. I discovered while one of my family members was struggling with a yeast overgrowth that this particular essential oil contains a large percentage of a chemical constituent called "geraniol". Now why is that important? Mainly because there are research studies showing that geraniol is quite effective at inhibiting yeast, and specifically Candida in quite a few research studies, one of which is indicated below (1). Candida is a type of yeast that most often causes diaper rash, thrush, yeast overgrowth and other unpleasant things - yep, that one too. It also has a very nice fragrance which has been likened to that of rose. I don't quite smell that in the samples I've tested, but it does blend well with other essential oils and is widely used in the fragrance industry. It reminds me of a combination of rose and geranium with maybe a little green note to it. I like it, but like it best when blended with other essential oils.
Palmarosa is a grass and a relative of the aromatic and culinary lemongrass. The leaves are distilled for their essential oil.

Mellow Me™ Blend Essential Oils

Amazing blend of soothing, warming, comforting essential oils that help with monthly cycles that bring about irritation and depression. This blend will soothe the "beast" in all of us - and is good all month, but particularly good for those times that you just can't seem to get in a good mood. I've learned that I can't make this blend in the middle of the day usually - it relaxes me too much. So - don't use it and drive would be my caution for you. Perfect for an evening bath or a way to calm the entire family when diffused into the room. It also smells very good and makes a very good natural perfume.
