smells of garlic, other think it has an onion smell while others cannot
really define the smell - but take note - it does have a smell. The Neem
tree is a fast growing, long-life tree popular in the tropics and is grown
for its ornamental value, as well as for its therapeutic value and is used
as fuel for its workable, but unpleasant smelling wood.

Geranium, cedarwood, florals, sandalwood.

Summary:
Store Neem oil in a cool dark place, away from sunlight. Neem oil can
easily solidify - even at low room temperatures. Should this happen put the
bottle in warm water (below 95 degree F) to liquefy. Do not place in near
boiling water, as it may reduce the effectiveness of the oil. Neem oil has a
rather strong smell you might want to add a few drops of essential oil to
any mixture to mask the smell. Lavender or lemongrass essential oils work
well - but you could add your personal favorite.
