At first, the smoky grey fragrance freaked me out, but now I combine it with cinnamon bark and others to make magickal incenses. It balances out well with the sweet Cedarwood Himalayan. Reminds me of a mild cedarwood Texas.

I was a little worried about ordering this BBQ scent, but I'm glad I did. I don't smell BBQ. I wonder if people are thinking of BBQ because so many sauces try to add a woody scent and taste. I really wanted a woody oil for my collection, great for light masculine scents. I also wanted it to use in my homemade wood cleaner. This was a great way for me to get that without spending the money for some of the much more expensive oils. I've blended it with tea tree and have rounded it out with different citrus scents and people seem to really love it.

I was a little dissappointed in this oil. When I smelled it, I smelled bbq. I'm glad I only purchased 3.3oz. Hopefully I can blend it into something nice.

A long kept "secret" of essential oil blends, this deep woodsy smell reminds me of burning wood or a rich heavy patchouli note (but more pungent and raw). By itself it may remind you of some type of rubber or leather treatment. This is ideal for blends if you need a deep raw base note that you don't mind infiltrating your blend into the mid-notes a bit.

I agree with Sherif - this does remind me too of Sandlawood quite a bit. Very lovely!

I really love the smell of this. Reminds me of the sandalwood provided by new directions, but with a fresh accent. Excellent for a sporty fragrance. Commonly used in perfumery, especially the cedarwood of Chinese origin. A must. Mixes amazingly with sandalwood for a classic base note. For the price, this is a must.
