gentle, softer alternative to cinnamon
Every time I open a shaker jar of Allspice in my kitchen, I go nuts over the aroma, so I had to try the EO. It's lovely... spicy, but not too sweet or 'gourmand'. It's amazing to me how one berry can smell like a combo of all my fav warm spices... If cinnamon slaps you in the face too hard, I highly recommend this one!
Sweet and spicy! EXCELLENT if you do not like cinnamon!
I Typically do not like blends with cinnamon because it takes over EVERYTHING to me. It makes it very hard for me to find fall blends that I like. Allspice is the PERFECT substitute. It has a very light sweetness to it and a mild, spicy, faintly- cinnamon aroma. I tried it because I was trying to replicate the cardamom eucalyptus blend that was retired but it is a KEEPER in my collection for sure! I am ordering my 2nd 30ml bottle! Sweet and spicy! Bold but NOT overpowering!
Surprisingly pleasant and multi-functional
I avoided trying this oil for a long time as I was afraid it would smell like BBW in the fall. But, I couldn't get over the purported benefits. I'm so glad I gave it a try! I don't mind the spicy smell, and even find it comforting. And this oil is so versatile! I'm using it for gastro issues, pain and inflammation blends, stress and calming/sleep blends and even breathing/respiratory blends. Definitely worth it.
Amazing Allspice
I'm amazed by the quality of this Allspice essential oil! It's rich, aromatic, and truly organic. Definitely a staple in my aromatherapy collection now.
