First impression? This little amber bottle packs a punch! The moment I unscrewed the cap, I was hit with this deep, woody aroma that somehow managed to be both grounding and uplifting. It's like walking into an ancient temple mixed with a cozy spa - weirdly perfect.
I primarily bought this for my stress-shedding hair (thanks, grad school). After mixing 2 drops with coconut oil, I massaged it into my scalp expecting nothing... but woke up to noticeably softer strands. By week two? My brittle ends started looking like actual hair again. Pro tip: Always dilute - this oil is POTENT. One drop accidentally got on my pillowcase and now that corner smells like a luxury hotel.
The dropper situation is my only gripe. Why can't it screw in? I've resorted to keeping it in a tiny shot glass beside the bottle because I'm terrified of losing it. Storage hack: I keep mine in an old tea tin with my other oils.
Unexpected bonus: Turns out it's amazing for post-workout muscle rubs when blended with almond oil. That tingly sensation people mention? Absolute magic on sore shoulders. Also tried adding a drop to unscented lotion - instant aromatherapy moisturizer.
Would I repurchase? Already did. This has replaced about three products in my routine. Just wish they'd fix that dropper!
