When I opened Cedar Leaf (Thuja) it reminded me of the aroma coming from my Native American cedar flute! Curl your toes good! I've since blended it in smudge that I make and with shea butter. I just love it.

I wasnt sure what to expect from this, something along the lines of my grandmothers cedar chest maybe but I was suprised to find that it has a very mellow almost floral smell to it. I like it alot, it will be going in a few blends right away.

I bought this oil along with Texas Cedarwood to use in an insect repellant blend that would be safer for my pets than what is commercially available, and it was very effective. This oil differs from the cedarwood that I bought in a few ways. First, the cedarleaf is definitely a top note, whereas the Texas Cedarwood is a base. Both were less camphorous than what I expected, although the cedarwood is certainly the milder of the two. Also, contrary to the description, cedarleaf seems mildly narcotic or sedative when inhaled - perhaps this is the hypotensive aspect. Finally I would say that contrary to my own expectations, this oil blends reasonably well, esp. with frankincense and other wood and spice notes. I personally did not care for blends made with citrus notes, as they were a little "top" heavy.
