Aroma
  • A pungent, sulfurous, and intensely "garlicky" aroma.
  • It is not a traditional "perfume" scent.
  • It opens with a sharp, bitter note, followed by an earthy, nutty heart that many describe as smelling like burnt coffee, onion, or strong peanut butter.
  • It is heavy, tenacious, and "savory"—smelling purely of potent medicine rather than a botanical garden
Category Herbaceous | Spicy
Note Middle - Base
Intensity 4/6

Common Usage Powerful Skin Healing & Protection

  • Managing Psoriasis & Eczema: Its high fatty acid and glyceride content provide deep moisture, while its anti-inflammatory properties soothe the "heat" and itching of chronic skin conditions.
  • Stubborn Acne Treatment: Contains aspirin-like compounds that reduce redness and inflammation, while its antibacterial nature clears out acne-causing bacteria.
  • Fungal Infection Defense: One of the most effective natural treatments for athlete’s foot, nail fungus, and ringworm.
  • Wound Healing: Promotes the development of healthy scar tissue and prevents infection in minor cuts, scrapes, and burns.
  • Scabies & Parasite Relief: Historically used to treat skin infestations; it disrupts the life cycle of parasites like scabies and lice.

Scalp & Hair Health

  • Eliminating Dandruff: Effectively treats the fungal overgrowth (Malassezia) that often causes dandruff and itchy scalp.
  • Lice Prevention & Treatment: Contains azadirachtin, which acts as a natural insecticide to kill lice and prevent their eggs (nits) from hatching.
  • Conditioning Frizzy Hair: When added to a hair mask from clubarome.com, it helps seal the hair cuticle and restore shine to very dry or damaged hair.
  • Scalp Circulation: Massaging Neem into the scalp can help stimulate hair follicles and promote thicker growth.

Natural Insect & Pest Repellent

  • Garden Pest Control: Widely used as a non-toxic spray to protect plants from aphids, mites, and whiteflies.
  • Human Insect Repellent: Highly effective at repelling mosquitoes, fleas, and ticks (though the strong scent usually requires blending with Lemongrass or Citronella).
  • Pet Care: Safe for dogs (when diluted) to help repel fleas and soothe hot spots or "mange" irritations.

Oral Hygiene

  • Gum Health: In Ayurveda, Neem is used to treat gingivitis and prevent the buildup of plaque.
  • Mouth Ulcer Relief: Its antiseptic properties help speed up the healing of canker sores.

Blending note Neem’s aroma is difficult to mask. It requires strong, "clean," or "citrusy" scents to balance its pungent, medicinal character

Do you know? In India, Neem trees are often planted near houses to act as a "living air conditioner" and a natural shield against mosquitoes. It is considered so sacred that it is sometimes called "The Tree of the 21st Century" by the United Nations

Contraindication
  • External Use Only.
  • Neem should never be ingested
  • The scent can be overwhelming, so it is best used in dilutions of 3% or less
  • It is generally safe for the skin but is very "warming" and should be patch-tested first.
