Rating: This scent is so fresh smelling! It has a unique smell. It is like earthy and perfumy at the same time. It will go well in soaps, scrubs, and candles.
Rating: I love the smell of this fragrance oil and what a great one for soaping! I used it at 5% today in my lard soap and it behaved so well. I had plenty of time (actually had to sit around and wait for it to thicken so I could do the second part of the pour), so this would make a great one for intricate designs! The smell is really nice - I think this will be a great summer line for me!

Rating: After a couple of months of stay at home, we really enjoy this scent around our house. We don't think it is a masculine smell. It is nice to have a room scent that is not too sweet.

Rating: When I first got this scent, I was undecided about it. It was not what I expected. It works wonderfully well in CP soap, but when I made soap with it I realized why I didn't much care for it: It smells almost exactly like Brambleberry's "Shave and a Haircut," which I don't like.
I put it out for sale for the first time at last weekend's farmers' markets, where it sold really well. I am calling it "Bamboo." I kept telling customers, "Now this is kind of a masculine scent. I don't like it," and they just kept buying it. So I would say, "Is this for Hubby?" and they would say, "No, it's for me."
So I gave it four stars because everyone else likes it.
Rating: This is very trouble-free in CP soap. Nice to work with. I was looking for a "green" fragrance, and I'm not sure if this is it or not. My initial reaction was that it hit the "green" target really well. Then I started to think it had notes of men's cologne that I wasn't sure I liked. Some of these "clean" scents are big hits with customers, and this may be one of them!
Rating: This holds up really well in CP soap and has a nice fresh, clean, unisex scent.
By:Joy, Chandler, Arizona Top ReviewerDate: Loyal Customer Since: 15-Nov-2015
Rating: Really love this scent as well as my daughter! She just absolutely loves it! So it will be a regular for my soaps! Personally to me, it's a nice clean manly scent, very different and unique. Will be back for more! ?
Rating: Im back for a second review as I've ordered. A second bottle for wax melts. They are flying off the shelves. This is a very fresh down to earth clean scent. Soaps wonderfully with zero discoloration and the scent has held strong months later in co soap.
By:Jennifer, Irondale, Missouri Top ReviewerDate: Loyal Customer Since: 10-Apr-2016
Rating: fantastic - soaped beautifully, clean herbal scent mixed with wood and a slight earthy undertone. Love it - unisex friendly, guys dig it, almost sold out.
getting more now
Rating: This soaped perfectly in my CP soap recipe. I had no issues with any acceleration, ricing or discoloring. This smells so fresh and is a great unisex scent. I had plenty of time to do a 4 color swirl and a beautiful decorative top. I expect this to sell. Quickly
By:Jennifer, Irondale, Missouri Top ReviewerDate: Loyal Customer Since: 10-Apr-2016
Rating: I used this tonight in a batch of cold process soap and it soaped very nicely. No discoloration, riding or acceleration at all. Smells divine and us a great unisex scent. I will be ordering this again. I'll add another review when I get a chance to make my candles with it. Highly recommended.
By:Jennifer, Irondale, Missouri Top ReviewerDate: Loyal Customer Since: 10-Apr-2016
Rating: Absolutely wonderful fragrance. Initially purchase as a masculine scent, but the ladies love it just as much. Works really great in cp soap, no acceleration at all and holds during curing. Will be ordering more and making this soap regularly. Great product.
Rating: I haven't used this yet, but smelling it from the bottle, it seems to be a lighter scent, so may take a little bit more to get a good scent. It's not as decidedly manly as I expected, but I'm sure both men and women will love it, so that's a good thing.
By:Andrea, Katy, Texas Top ReviewerDate: Loyal Customer Since: 14-Mar-2011
Rating: This is very nice, clean scent. I used it in an ombré CP soap and although the scent during cure lightened quite a bit, it's still lovely. Some say it's a masculine scent but I would totally use this one myself and I will market it as a uni-sex. Did not discolor my soap and did not accelerate trace. A keeper, in my opinion!
Rating: This is such a nice scent! I got the sample in my last order and made up sample bars. My hubby loves it but the ladies do as well. It's a hard to describe fragrance but WOW, it's nice!
By:Cindy, Vesper, Wisconsin Top ReviewerDate: Loyal Customer Since: 10-May-2013
Rating: Very strong scent for my guy products. Really liked how this soaped up with no acceleration or morphing of colors after six weeks of curing cp soaps. Will definitely be getting this one again.
By:Jazmine, Suisun City, California
Date: Loyal Customer Since: 05-Jan-2013
Rating: A fresh woodsy and slightly fruity scent. Hard to describe, but it smells amazing in candles!
By:Cynthia, Oneida, Kentucky Top ReviewerDate: Loyal Customer Since: 05-Oct-2012
Rating: Really special scent. Smell like a blend of wood and mint. It is so fresh!
By:Melanie, St-Léonard, Quebec Top ReviewerDate: Loyal Customer Since: 09-Nov-2005
Rating: A very clean, and nice manly scent. It was the first my husband picked out. He really likes this, and is quite picky! Thank you so much! this one is great!!!! Highly recommended
Rating: Very Nice. I will definitely get this one again.
By:Naomi, Chatham, Ontario Top ReviewerDate: Loyal Customer Since: 09-Nov-2005
Rating: Lovely, subtle unisex scent! I'm diffusing it right now. Very relaxing. It isn't overwhelming- but you don't have to strain to smell it either, just perfect. Can't wait to try it in some lotion and body wash base.
By:Tanya, Lacey, Washington Top ReviewerDate: Loyal Customer Since: 11-Jan-2012
Rating: This one is clean, masculine, and exotic. Great for a men's product!
By:Lauretta, San Diego, California Top ReviewerDate: Loyal Customer Since: 19-Jun-2010
Rating: So I bought the smallest bottle not knowing what to expect and accidently dropped it in the lab. WELL WELL KNOW...wasnt that the best thing ever!! My place smelled AMAZING. This is the only oil thats a conversation starter between men and women, each declaring its clearly for them. Great gift for couples. I love love love this oil
By:Cynthia, Owings Mills, Maryland Top ReviewerDate: Loyal Customer Since: 23-May-2008
Rating: I can smell the cedarwood and a sweet smell. Very nice in soap!
By:Megan, Chesterfield, Missouri Top ReviewerDate: Loyal Customer Since: 28-Nov-2011
Rating: I bought this scent to have a new "manly" scent and I have to say I love it!!
It is fresh and earthy and so I named my soap "Rain Forest"
Scent is sticking really well too...will keep this in my line.
By:Doreen, Thessalon, Ontario Top ReviewerDate: Loyal Customer Since: 09-Nov-2005
Rating: Love this scent!!!! So masculine...so sexy!
By:Kia, Montreal, Quebec Top ReviewerDate: Loyal Customer Since: 09-Nov-2005
Rating: Nice blend of fruit and woodsy undertone. Just a touch of floral, almost citrus. Good unisex scent. Not overpowering and settles down quickly. Look forward to blending it with others.
By:Terri, Atlanta, Georgia Top ReviewerDate: Loyal Customer Since: 06-Aug-2009
Rating: I loved this one out of the bottle as i was looking for a good mens scent. Unfortunately, I'm not crazy about it in our glycerin soap - as a bit of an "old man" smell - sorry!
Rating: This FO smells just amazing! Everyone (men and women) who smelled it just loved it!! Highly recommended!!!
By:Genevieve, Blainville, Quebec Top ReviewerDate: Loyal Customer Since: 09-Nov-2005
Rating: an interesting aroma will try this in my sons barber products, that will be the true test
By:Ruth, Wildorado, Texas Top ReviewerDate: Loyal Customer Since: 02-Apr-2010
Rating: I have a barber in town who uses my soap with Bamboo and Teak as well as the Bay Rum scent to do his shaves on customers and they have in turn requested to buy it so I get an order of mens soap. Yeah!!
By:Cands, Marystown, Newfoundland Top ReviewerDate: Loyal Customer Since: 09-Nov-2005
Rating: Smells really good out of the bottle & could definitely be interpreted as a masculine scent. Used it in CP soap @ .5% ppo. After 4 weeks cure found the scent completely changed & much more fruity, but also considerably weaker. Many scents get banged up in CP, so I'm going to try it in HP soap to see if it holds its character better because I would really like to offer this as one of the masculine scents in my line. I have already repurchased so I guess you could say I'm optomistic!
By:Terry, Toronto, Ontario Top ReviewerDate: Loyal Customer Since: 09-Nov-2005
Rating: Men and women love this scent. I'm buying a large bottle with my next order.
By:Sophia, San Rafael, California
Date: Loyal Customer Since: 20-Aug-2008
Rating: I absolutely LOVE the scent! I don't carry many men's bars but, this is one of my hottest sellers (for men). You will definitely not be disappointed.
Rating: This is a very complex scent. I can't see it being masculine though but I will not argue with the ladies here. They know better than me. To me it smells sweet and not as strong. I put 2 percent in a cream and still had a hard time smelling it. It does smell nice, I only have doubts about the sexy man smell. Try combining Lime/Bergamot and Bay Rum ; Now that is a manly smell.
By:Jean-Jacques, Surrey, British Columbia Top ReviewerDate: Loyal Customer Since: 09-Nov-2005
Rating: My boyfriend likes this very much, I feel fairly "eh" about it so I guess I agree with the other reviewers that it's a masculine scent. Outdoorsy but I honestly don't get a very woody scent, it seems sweet to me but it could just be my nose!
By:Jacki, Highland Park, New Jersey Top ReviewerDate: Loyal Customer Since: 13-Apr-2009
Rating: Makes a terrific bathroom air freshener. Disguises even the toughest and worst odors. After a few weeks one of our smallest warehouse bathrooms has adopted notes from this FO of unsweetened bubble gum and a slight citrus background. All of this to the approval of workers in an adjacent room.
By:David, Plaistow, New Hampshire Top ReviewerDate: Loyal Customer Since: 18-Aug-2008
Rating: Well, my husband didn't like it, but he's like "Mikey" and doesn't like anything. I think its a nice masculine scent & I may try it in a potpourri or room spray.
By:Terri, Atlanta, Georgia Top ReviewerDate: Loyal Customer Since: 06-Aug-2009
Rating: WOW! I have to agree on this one being a "hot" guy scent. Blew me away. It's clean & masculine. I plan on making SEVERAL bars of soap for my hubby, with this one~
By:Shawn, San Luis Obispo, California
Date: Loyal Customer Since: 01-Sep-2009
Rating: This is the scent of our gardner's soap, we use cold process and add NDA's Himalayan silver fir as an exfoliant. It has a good strong manly scent and this fragrance lasts for a long time in our cold process soaps.
By:Gregory, Nicholson, Pennsylvania Top ReviewerDate: Loyal Customer Since: 02-May-2008
Rating: Mmmm, smells like a hot man! LOL. Very nice masculine scent - smells like cologne. I am adding this one to my line for sure!
By:Ashley, Marathon, Ontario Top ReviewerDate: Loyal Customer Since: 09-Nov-2005
Rating: Wonderful scent! good for men , very refresh.
By:Patricia, Drummondville, Quebec Top ReviewerDate: Loyal Customer Since: 09-Nov-2005
Rating: Nice and masculine, this fragrance goes very well in a hemp CP soap !
By:Claude, Montreal, Quebec Top ReviewerDate: Loyal Customer Since: 09-Nov-2005
Rating: Very very sophisticated. Warm exotic wood notes perfectly balanced with a fresh, clean finish. I've added kaolin clay to my CP bars with this, and find it's very popular as a shaving bar for men.

Rating: Did someone say "Sexy Man Smell?" I've already bought more of this one!
By:Cathy, Sicamous, British Columbia Top ReviewerDate: Loyal Customer Since: 09-Nov-2005
Rating: Like stated below,
the guys in my family LOVE this FO!
I can't wait to use it in my M&P shea base!!!
Thanx for having a guys scent NDA!
By:Lisa, Oakdale, California Top ReviewerDate: Loyal Customer Since: 31-Jul-2007
Rating: Nice clean fragrance. It's very unique, and I've never really smelled anything like it before. I saw a lot of reviews that said it would make a nice men's fragrance. It didn't occur to me before ordering, but I completely agree.
By:Jennifer, Lansing, Michigan Top ReviewerDate: Loyal Customer Since: 04-Jun-2008
Rating: Smells amazing right out of the bottle!! Great men's scent. Seems to fade rather quickly though.
By:Randee, Scarborough, Ontario Top ReviewerDate: Loyal Customer Since: 09-Nov-2005
Rating: I was lacking any masculine fragrances, so I got this one. It smells a lot like cologne (in a good way). Will make nice soaps for all the men in the family come Christmas time.
By:Crystal, Port Moody, British Columbia Top ReviewerDate: Loyal Customer Since: 09-Nov-2005
Rating: A nice scent...wish it were a bit stronger---not sweet smelling at all, and would make a nice Men's soap.
By:Karina, Richmond Hill, New York Top ReviewerDate: Loyal Customer Since: 14-Sep-2007
Rating: The men in my family love this scent - it also works as a unisex fragrance though!
By:Debra, Menominee, Michigan Top ReviewerDate: Loyal Customer Since: 05-Apr-2008
Rating: It smelled a little too sweet and fruity to me. I blended it with petitgrain, grapefruit, lime, and rosewood essential oils to make it less sweet.
By:Jennifer, St. Louis, Missouri
Date: Loyal Customer Since: 01-Sep-2006
Rating: I really liked this scent. It is on my list of "repurchases". It has a nice woodsy scent to it, with a hint of floral spice.
By:C E, San Jose, California Top ReviewerDate: Loyal Customer Since: 04-Feb-2008
Rating: A smidge too sweet for guys, in my opinion, but it's a fabulous fragrance, even so. One of my personal favorites! Kudos, NDA. Again.
By:Marith, Berea, West Virginia Top ReviewerDate: Loyal Customer Since: 20-May-2007
Rating: Nice woodsy but clean unisex scent. Love it!!
By:Shannon, Schenectady, New York Top ReviewerDate: Loyal Customer Since: 24-Jan-2006
Rating: This has a slight floral smell, but is also a little spicy. I found it quite nice, a good masculine smell. Can be blended with Lavender to create a nice sweet balance.
Even the name makes it sound perfect for scenting male products!
