This one is earthy and woodsy, similar to vetiver or patchouli only easy to use right out of the bottle, because the aroma is not quite as strong as either of EOs I just mentioned. Oddly, I recall it being sharper and closer to a top note when i originally bought it, though now it smells more like a base note.

The scent of this essential oil is amazing! I was curious about how it would mix with certain essential oils. I'm very pleased with it and have already made 3 different types of body oils using it! Very pleasant scent!

I'm smitten with this oil. Grounding, calming, spicy, funky. Reminds me of Vetiver, Spikenard, Patchouli, and Valerian. Called "Musta" or "Nagarmotha" in Ayurvedic medicine and Xiang fu in Chinese medicine, the rhizome is used to move stuck liver energy, with attendant problems like depression, menstrual pain, P.M.S., and gastritis. I have yet to discover the blend that will tone down this oil's funkiness for the workaday world. Actually, White Spruce worked pretty well. I'll try Teju's suggestion of Neroli/Petitgrain. Meanwhile, for myself, I like it as is.

A deep and interesting woodsy aroma. In perfumery said to be a fixative base note in woodsy oriental blends. A new one for me, can't wait to try it out!

Very woodsy and earthy, reminds me of the smell of new wood furniture or a brand new wood house. A bit masculine, but it's divine. Blends really well with certain varieties of neroli/petitgrain.

Cypriol is a lighter shade of patchouli. Wonderful herbal, incense, tobacco, almost balsam (but sharper), without the underlying funk of new patchouli. It can blend up to spice notes and down to exotic woods, while working well with robust florals.

Exquisite woodsy scent. I ordered a small quanity to add body into a perfume that I was creating and it was just perfect! Woody but not too masculine although would be outstanding in men's toiletries. I also make my own cleaning supplies and this will be perfect to add to the wood polishes and wood floor cleaner.
