I have not use this too much. It has a very deep spearmint smell. If you like that, well, you will use it a lot. For my taste, I use this sparingly.

Yes, this essential oil will immediately remind you of Wrigley's spearmint gum, so I don't tend to use it straight up in my cold process soap. It blends quite lovely with lemon or tea tree, and I love making lip balm and body cream using some. Super refreshing, but again, a little goes a long way!

This spearmint can stand alone without any hint of bitterness, but with eucalyptus it is wonderful and makes a very pleasant anti-moth scent for winter woolens.

I've always been a huge fan of spearmint scented things and decided to get this for my lip balm. It was a bit different from the spearmint I'm used to (I guess cuz this ones real lol) but I still enjoyed it. Very nice scent.

I didn't think I'd be a HUGE mint fan, however I have to admit I am really hooked on the lip balm and soap I made with this spearmint! It smells really fresh and happy! My customers never put the soap down when this one is in their hands. Its a keeper for sure!

I always used Peppermint, but tried Spearmint in my CP soap and I've already made another batch because I like it so much. The smell is uplifting, invigorating, sweet, but not synthetic sweet. Very natural and minty. Great EO!

I purchased this oil by mistake (I meant to order peppermint) for blending with Eucalyptus in my bath salts. Little did I know, it wasn't a mistake at all! I love this sweeter minty aroma paired with Eucalyptus. Just as they say, "a little goes a long way".

Not terribly versatile for blending so far, but great on its own, a true spearmint aroma. It's one of the more volatile essences, so while it's open you'll smell it -- which makes it fortunate that this stuff is hard to get tired of! Very fresh and likeable, not overpowering like peppermint oil can be.

Very true spearmint flavor. This is my favorite to use in my natural toothpaste product line! Smells just like the spearmint in my herb garden! I will be reordering. Works well in Cold Process Soaps, too!

I highly recommend people play with spearmint EO in their CP soaps. Peppermint always seems to be the go to "mint", but in several of my blends I found that spearmint was a much better compliment to the other scents. Very good quality and fantastic price!
