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.
