Smells of: warm, smoky wood

This oil is effective in adding depth and complexity to compositions, particularly in woody and oriental fragrances, where it enhances the overall warmth without overpowering other notes. It pairs well with other woods like cedar and sandalwood, as well as with spices and amber notes, to create a well-rounded base.
