  1. Tara (verified owner) September 10, 2016

    Melissa is a sweet lemony scented oil with a herbal twist. One drop in a diffuser or diluted with FCO and it is a delight. It calms my daily worries and helps me quiet the mind. I sleep quite soundly when I diffuse this. I do notice I sneeze a little at first smell. I have read that Melissa should not be overused for people with allergies.

    It’s a wonderful oil to add to any EO collection.
