So unlike any other coniferous oil I've smelt. Cloying and sweet (reminded me of the flavour from the old everlasting gobstoppers!).
Lasts a very long time on the skin - 12 to 18 hours, mellowing down to a distinct sweetish fragrance that just can't be placed.
The blueness is more in your mind - it is almost colourless, but just shows a hue like old glass sometimes. Don't expect rich colouration!
