A note on the scent
Deep, smoky and earthy, with a rich rooty sweetness that lingers for hours. It suits quiet evenings, a slow candlelit bath or an unhurried massage blend, and makes a beautiful base note in a natural perfume — just a drop mixed into carrier oil and touched to the wrists.
Chemical profile
An essential oil is a natural mixture of dozens of compounds. These are the ones that typically dominate it; the exact composition varies from batch to batch.
