This is one that is very natural smelling. Its fresh and uplifting yet deep and draws you in. At first I was not sure if I did like it (the aroma) but I could not seem to stop smelling it either lol.
When applied to the skin it changes and becomes very woody and spicy, yet still somehow uplifting. This one is different but I so look forward to using it in a perfume blend AND aromatherapy!
