I liked the smell and the consistency of this magic oil. Its blue color is mysterious and the sweet smell is unique and refreshing. I use it daily for my diffuser as well as some drops on my skin when my legs are tired.
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!
