Very nice oil! I made a perfume blend with this, vetiver, tuberose 3%, and small amounts of several florals (including a good amount of frangipani/plumeria wax). When I let another woman sniff it after I'd been wearing it for about three or four hours, she actually mistook the scent for a fresh sandalwood blend! The lighter florals had evaporated off, but the katrafay and vetiver were still hanging around. So if you're looking for a sandalwood-like aroma with a fresh, green side (not a pure sandalwood, of course, but maybe the wood and leaves together), there's your recipe: 2:1 katrafay+vetiver.

I ordered this because I never heard of it - and I was intrigued. I love it. It is deep, green and somewhat woodsy and earthy, but it draws you in. It doesn't have a bite - like some earthy oils. It will blend well with so many other oils - I tried it with Clary Sage and it was divine. I'll be back for more.

Well I'm back yet again as I just ordered more of this WONDERFUL EO! This TRULY is one of my all time favorite oils for perfume blending! I have to keep myself from putting it in all my perfumes lol So far everyone else has loved this oil too. It is deep and rich, floral yet woodsy. It is also crisp and fresh. No camphor smell at all. I really suggest you give this one a try! I made a note to myself today to go ahead and stock up on this one.

Okay as I breathe in the aroma I get the first scent of woody notes followed by a cucumber scent - yes that's right, cucumber! Woody and then fresh. While this EO has some traditional qualities of a "temple" sort of aroma it is followed by a fresh green scent that is crip and clean. I really REALLY like this!
