Melissa (Lemon Balm) Hydrosol, Organic

I'm a seasoned EO user that's now venturing into hydrosols as I expand on my skincare formulations. I ordered 5 or 6 different hydrosols and this is the one I looked forward to the most as Melissa is my favorite EO. Maybe it's just me or maybe my inexperienced hydrosol expectations... But out of all of them this is the only one I can't smell at all. It literally just smells like a bottle of semi sweet water. But I can tell it's not just water. I just don't smell the melissa. I'm in no way indicating that LGB failed to provide a quality product. LGB is a company of integrity and their product quality is nothing short of reliable. Thus the reason I still gave 3 stars!!! ******* Admin: Hydrosols contain very small quantities of essential oil. Because they are comprised mainly of the water-soluble (hydrophilic) parts of the plant, they do not always have the same aroma notes as the essential oil, certainly not the strength of aroma notes that its essential oil counterpart has. We are truly sorry that you did not find this hydrosol to your liking. Rest assured the hydrophilic benefits can be enjoyed. We have inspected all containers of this hydrosol today and find them all to have an aroma, lightly lemony and sweet with herbaceous undertones. Since you are new to hydrosols please do not hesitate to call our customer service with any questions you may have when making selections in the future. Thank you.*******
