When I first uncapped this 30ml amber bottle, I braced for disappointment – $10 for sandalwood oil? But wow, that first woody, creamy sniff hooked me. It’s like walking into an old apothecary with polished wooden shelves.

I’ve been dabbing it on my wrists as perfume (2 drops max – this stuff is potent!). By lunchtime, coworkers keep asking what that ‘expensive spa smell’ is. Pro tip: Mix it with coconut oil for a DIY massage blend that turns my bedroom into a five-star resort.

The diffuser needs 8 drops to shine, but that bottle lasts forever. Unlike some oils that vanish in hours, this lingers like a polite houseguest who knows exactly when to leave. Caught my teen sneaking drops before school – now we bond over scent experiments.

Is it perfect? The color’s slightly lighter than my luxury brand, but the scent profile? Dead-on. For the price, it’s like finding designer jeans at a thrift store. Already planning to try their entire single-oil collection.
