Excellent quality essential. Has real depth of aroma and a lovely earthy base note. I use this oil in hair conditioners and shampoos and personally find it makes my hair look and smell great. Do a small test though before you use this on your hair. Excellent value for money I thought !. Ps mixes well with benzoin.

This oil is a beautifully scented fresh green-earthy base note. Ideal for aromatherapists and perfumers alike that are looking for something a little different! Highly recommended.
