Customer Reviews for Galangal CO2
- Fahrenheit 32 Review by Juan
-
Rating I could swear this oil is in the Dior Fahrenheit 32 formula. but it does not contain it, it is only a direct and personal memory ... It has a smell of green cucumber water, with fruity notes of still green melon peel, with a very long-lasting resinous, spicy, woody, fruity aroma profile. even in drying after 5 days, fruit and wood water is perceived at the bottom.(Posted on 5/13/2021)
Definitely a unique and beautiful creature.
- Tropical candy-juice with floral/woody backbone Review by Anthony
-
Rating I was really shocked by how saccharine this is, candied ginger, melon, mango, pineapple, but also has a creamy tropical floral quality and a light vetiver/labdanum base, really love the co2 extracts available this is truly a gem(Posted on 3/19/2021)
- Sublime scent, endless possibilities Review by MPW
-
Rating I am consistently impressed by the quality and selection of EB's oils and extracts, and this Galangal CO2 does not disappoint. The scent is sublime, intriguing, complex, and truly unique among natural aromatic materials.(Posted on 3/10/2018)
Straight out of the bottle, the scent is like sniffing the delicate rind of a ripe melon--cool, creamy, smooth. Upon diffusion, one detects the warm, powdery notes of dried root; ginger without the acerbic spiciness, vetiver without the damp earthiness. There are playful hints of pineapple or mango--a tropical sweetness that effortlessly blends into the gentle, creamy melon.
I am in love with the scent on it's own, yet my mind is racing imagining the endless possibilities for blending. One could bring out the tropical aspects with a touch of frangipani or ylang-ylang, or explore the material's fruitiness with a bit of blackcurrent bud absolute. One could amp up the spiciness with some ginger fresh EO, or enhance the powdery root aspects with some orris root.
This material is divine and deserves to be more well-known among natural perfumers.
- Holy Pineapples! Review by Dutch

Rating Good HEAVENS this is incredible stuff! This smells so tropical... like (sniff, sniff) melon, for sure but it has a lighter more sparkly note.. of lime and pineapple! FTW? I most certainly get ginger, which is no surprise, judging by the description. Rooty, deep floral like orris too. Wet, like petrichor. This is insane, INSANELY good. On a scent strip it smells mostly of tropical top notes and roots. On my skin it smells like exotic flowers mixed with driftwood. I can't get enough! I'm running around the house like a goofball!(Posted on 1/2/2018)

Rating I am a huge fan of this scent- it is like the flavor of candied ginger combined with the scent of fresh rain, and a touch of honeydew melon. Absolutely delicious(Posted on 1/26/2017)
- Ginger Lily CO2 vs Galangal CO2 Review by Eden Botanicals
-
Rating Thank you for the question Flowerangl. You are correct, the Ginger Lily CO2 and Galangal CO2 are the same product with the same aroma profile. Galangal CO2 (Kaempferia galanga) was previously known as Ginger Lily CO2 (Hedychium spicatum). We were recently informed by our manufacturer that Kaempferia galanga is the correct botanical name for the root they have been extracting. In our research, we realized that this plant is closely related to but not the same as Hedychium spicatum. Thus the name change! Please accept our apologies for any confusion this may have caused. Feel free to contact us directly if you have any further questions.(Posted on 1/16/2017)
- Botanical name change? Review by Flowerangl
-
Rating Hi there. I have a bottle of the Hedychium spicatum version of Ginger Lily from a previous order from EB. It is a lovely melon-like floral that I am having great fun playing with and studying. This last order, I asked for a sample of Galangal co2. This one was named Kaempferia galanga. This botanical is of the same family of Hedychium spicatum, but has different notes from a scent standpoint, and different therapeutic properties, too. The Galangal sample smells to be the same oil as the Ginger Lily labeled Hedychium. Why the name change? Thanks in advance!(Posted on 1/14/2017)

Thank you for your review Florence! And yes, the crystallization of the Ginger Lily CO2 is completely normal. This oil requires gentle heating to completely liquify and incorporate into your blends. We're so glad you like it!(Posted on 9/10/2014)
- Unusual Review by Florence
-
Rating This was not at all what I was expecting. Like the previous reviewer, I was expecting something "rooty". Instead I was hit with a melon top note! I hope I received the right item because I absolutely love that note! The melon sensation quickly fades and then I pick up a sweet floral note. As it dries down the spicy and woody notes begin to come through. I tested on a scent strip and on skin (the melon note lasted a touch longer on the strip). Again, like the previous reviewer, I did start to pick up a powdery note as it dried. It is a beautiful and complex scent. Note: the oil was partially crystallized . . . is that normal for this item?(Posted on 9/8/2014)
