The fragrance of Spikenard is obtained from the leaf and the root of the Nardostachys jatamansi plant.
In the Bible, Spikenard was used both as a fragrance (Song of Songs 1:12;4:13-14) but it became famous because of the sacrifice of worship that Mary of Bethany performed unto the Lord Jesus Christ (Mark 14:3-9; John 12:3; Matthew 26:6-13).
More than the scent of the Bride, this sweet perfume is connected to intimacy. It denotes deep relationship, intimate communion, submission, and a holy covenant.
Nard or Spikenard is an expensive (according to biblical reports, the amount that Mary poured on Jesus was worth the salary of a whole year!) and potent perfume that according to John 12:3, the scent could "fill the whole house". The act of Mary of Bethany was later recounted for Jesus as a preparation for his burial (Mark 14:8).
A perfume that was worth a year's wages was poured out at the feet of Jesus. More than the money, it is important to pay attention to what that amount of money meant: a year's worth of wages! A whole year working on something!
This is a prophetic picture of spending the whole year, 8 hours a day, every business day, at the feet of Jesus. We can clearly see that in Luke 10:38-41. Mary decided to spend time with Jesus.
Also, in Matthew 26:6-13, Jesus adds: "I tell you the truth, wherever the Good News is preached throughout the world, this woman’s deed will be remembered and discussed.”
Spending time with Jesus granted Mary a place among the memorable, not in the hall of faith of Hebrews 11, but in the hall of fame of the Gospel of Jesus Christ!
Spend time with the Lord (Mark 14:3-9) in prayer, in His word, and anoint yourself and your beloved ones, blessing them with the sweet aroma of Spikenard.

Spikenard Anointing Oil (10ml/0.33oz)
We were given a clear instruction, by James, apostle of Jesus Christ, in his letter, chapter 5, verse 14: "Is any sick among you? let him call for the elders of the church; and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord:".
The commandment is pray for healing and and then anoint the sick with the anointing oil. The person praying and anointing must be a born again, water baptized, devoted christian Elder, since those were some of the qualifications for performing such Act of Faith.
If you are a true follower of Christ, who loves God above all things, and your neighbor as God loves them; and you are born again, water baptized, even if you don't occupy a formal position in your congregation, but you have your routine of spiritual disciplines (prayer, fasting, bible reading), you qualify to have the honor of being called christian. And because of that, you are also a Priest, according to 1Peter 2:9, not according to the order of Levi, but according to the order of Melchizedek (Hebrews 7:17). That qualifies you to use this Holy Anointing Oil on others and on yourself.
