Beautiful woodsy-vanilla like scent. A great base note to sweeten and soften many blends.

If this scent had a color, it would be reddish orange. Warm, woody scent that mixes for a sweetly gentle effect.

This has a very amber like aroma - nice and much thinner than the resins - very easy to use - I make insence with this oil and people always comment on its lighter aroma as far as the temple sort essences go.

This is a lovely oil. The scent is so warm and sweet, very much like vanilla. I'd only used the resin prior to finding this essential oil, and I really appreciate the ease in which it combines with other oils. So much easier than the resin.

Peru Balsam is nothing short of delicious! Thanks for having the 1/6 oz size so everyone can afford to try this fantastic oil. This smells sweet, musky and very vanilla. It is one of my new favorites!

Another one of my favorites for multiple blends. Beautiful grounding oil, very thick, perfect as a fixative with a nice vanilla/balsamic base note. Great price for super quality oil. Infinite uses and long lasting fragrance. A little goes a long way. Be sure to use a carrier to thin consistency. Thank you New Directions for another great product.
