Velona Peppermint Essential Oil

Is it real mint? I think so. It certainly has that clean strong minty aroma, cooling sensation and sinus-opening effect often touted as mental clarity! I’m inclined to believe it’s pure but after reading somewhere that mint repels bees, I went out to my community garden where we farm bees smelling strongly of this stuff and the bees descended upon me quite fixedly, causing everyone to remark “What’s up with you and the bees?” I had to go home and wash off as much if it as I could, which wasn’t easy. So either this is not pure mint oil or that business about mint repelling the bees is pure bunk. I pat this oil very lightly on worn clothes to freshen them up between washings. I drop it into corners of rooms that need a lift. I mix it with white vinegar in a spray bottle and use it to clean surfaces around the house and to wipe out the refrigerator. I sometimes put it in a mist diffuser for aromatherapy. I also carry a small amount in a roll-on bottle, rub it in my palms and cup them over my nose if I need to clear my airways or block out some surrounding odor (homeless person on the subway, urine in the elevator, sweaty person on the bus, other people’s bad breath or BO). I love rubbing on the bottom of my feet at the end of the day. I’ve never had problems using this oil directly on my skin but I usually dilute it, especially if putting it on thin or sensitive skin. Often I simply mix it with unscented lotion. The bottle goes a long way and the oil retains its scent and potency for a long time.

Very strong scent! I use this to make spray for my porch to deter spiders in the summer. A small drop goes a long way in a qt. size spray bottle.

Such a same, was actually the pine floor cleaning scent, otherwise known as urinal cake smell...... Look at the reviews below. It hurt my nose to smell, and disappointed me, being scammed: this is not peppermint oil, but pine cleaninng scent. I've bought pine essential oil for years. In fact, I've bought several types of essential oils, under different brands, but all the same.......all the same scent whether sage or whaterver. These bottles, all brands, 4 oz are a scam.

I hope it's the real thing!

There are a lot of dust bunnies on the pipette's rubber squeezer, and the glass portion is not straight. The peppermint scent is also mild.

I bought the peppermint, very potent. A little goes a long way. I mostly bought to deter spiders. I cut up a small pantyliner and put a few drops on that and peeled the back and stuck to back and bottom of furniture. Just be sure and use the dropper. I tried to pour with the cap and the cap came out, peppermint everywhere. I went to clean it up and my hands smelled like peppermint for a long time.

The smell is amazing. Huge bottle. Love it. Will be repurchase.

good price on the oil but showed up with glass applier broken
