This oil is really unique. It smells like a mixture of old leather, mesquite, and smoke. Others who've smelled it told me it smelled like barbecue sauce. I've yet to use it in a perfume because of how strong it is, but I plan to dilute it and give it a try in a man's cologne with some woodsy scents. Only reason I gave it 4 starts is that other people aren't usually as attracted to it as I am.

When I was apprenticing with Phineus and Frogg, Apothecarians, I was using this as a fixative in a men's cologne blend to be named Forest After The Rain. Using just a drop along with cedar, patchouli, bitter orange, and other botanicals, it was indeed a cavalier and engaging scent for the distinguished gentleman. However, deciding to add several drops more it became something "other". Something sinister and beastly. Said I to my assistant, Lady Cuddlekoff, "Does it not smell like the forest after the rain?" To which she quipped "It smells more like the forest after the fire." Oh, oucheth, how her barb did sting! Many years later and the faint traces of my disaster still linger in the P & F testing labs. I, however, am still seeking a new employer.

This Cade is a rich, dark, resinous oil. The aroma packs a powerful kick of smoky, charred wood and green conifer boughs. On its own, the scent can be a little overwhelming but when blended with other wood, earth and spice/herb scents it can make for a unique masculine character.

Like the previous reviewer, this scent is rich and intense. I have put it towards a unique smelling aftershave and I love the smell. I highly recommend this masculine scent, but only use a drop or two, this stuff is strong! :)

Great cade oil. Down-home and good for what ails you. Fascinating scent: woody smoke, but also that warm incense resin heart of it. And a green-ness too, like the living juniper boughs old as the hills.

This is a very rich and deep smoky scent. A drop or two goes a long way. I use it in CP soaps, lotion, hair oil along with Lavender and Ylang Ylang. Just heavenly! Thank you NDA for bringing this wonderful product with such a good price!
