My muscles were sore after working out and I needed some relief. Luckily, I had this on hand. When I opened the bottle, the smell of eucalyptus immediately permeated the air around me, so eucalyptus lovers will appreciate the fresh, strong scent which lingers. It's definitely great for clearing blocked noses, too! I applied a liberal dose over my aching muscles on my shoulders and quadriceps. The effect was mild and I felt a subtle cooling sensation on my skin. It did provide some relief and I needed to apply it a few more times throughout the day to see more effects. It's very handy to carry around in your purse or gym bag. Just be careful not to pour too much as a little goes a long way,
