Definitely a secret to get that texture!!

What an interesting fragrance. I first tried it as a 10% dilution in jojoba oil on my wrist, just to see how it behaved. Starts dark and sweet like resinous autumn honey, the kind that scratches the throat with aromas of dried leaves, and with an immediacy that almost feels like a punch to the nose. But the intensity quickly fades into a vague smoke/tobacco scent, then an even more vague waxy something... and I thought that was it. Half an hour, gone. Except, not quite. As I went about my day, I was pleasantly surprised to discover the smell came back whenever my wrist was warmed (either because of wearing winter clothes or because of a spike of physical exercise), with rich, sweet notes of pollen, honey, hay, and waxy undertones of something almost like musk. I can only assume the nose gets used to it very quickly and dismisses its presence as part of the background without the fragrance itself actually disappearing, at least when it's worn solo (haven't tested it in a blend yet). In any case it's exquisite, and this playful hide and seek makes it far more interesting than I originally expected. Well worth getting a larger amount.

I ordered a tiny sample of this with a small sample of the wild opopanax to see what both of them smelled like. I love them both, but this is definitely my favorite out of all of the oils I've smelled so far. It has earthiness with an undertone of sweetness, but it isn't too overpowering - it is just right and I can't wait til I can order a larger amount!

It smells woody, not the sugary sweet I was expecting. I do enjoy it though

I used to keep bees. I loved opening the hive, if for no other reason than smelling it: an aroma like flowers, plant resin and honey. This is it. It is the most delicious scent that I have ever encountered.
