So I usually by the Giles cedar oil from Amazon but it was super pricey this time around and I looked for alternatives. Even though I was really happy with the Giles brand and did find it at a decent price online out side Amazon, I decided to try Puroleo on a whim. And oh, EM gee, I am so glad I did. When I first opened the bottle and sniffed it I felt disappointed because it was so much "lighter" than the Giles. I thought it would be wimpy. Nothing could be further from the truth. Once I rubbed just a drop between my fingers, I realized that what I thought was "lightness" was actually rich, deep complexity. True, this does play lighter, but because it's not "heavy handed" like the Giles. It is like a bouquet on a fine wine. Woodsy cedar like when you crush a cedar needle, and somehow, lots of floral character as well. I immediately started dribbling it all over the house. I think it will have good staying power. For example, I have a summer porch, glassed in, with rough stone and packed gravel floor (like you'd find in an outdoor patio or pathway). Well, the dogs seem to be confused, they think it IS outdoors, and for a while, despite all my training, they would relieve themselves there on the way to the actual patio door to the outside (Grrrr). Since it's also a damp and cold area, it really retained that odor. In desperation, I drizzled cedar oil into the big rocks and some of the gravel, and I must say it is MUCH more pleasant there. I also have been pouring enzyme deodorizer Nature's Miracle, etc down there all the time but it just doesn't penetrate deep enough I guess, so I needed something to mask the residual odor, since I often hang out there staying out of the wind, while the dogs go out and do their thing. The Puroleo cedar oil worked really well for that, and every time I walk out there, I actually inhale deeply because it feels like I'm entering a cedar forest. I guess the rocks are a good diffuser of the oil. Anyway, I am entranced by this oil, and am saving up to buy the gallon jug!!!! Then I will turn my entire home into a cedar palace! Growing up, we had a cottage in the mountains, and a rough guesthouse built long ago, made entirely out of raw cedar and plaster lathe (like, lots of exposed wood). I still remember the feeling and fragrance of that house, to this day, and I'm 54. This is that. This... smells like that. (SNL reference haha). But actually, it smells better. Like I said, it has some complex lingering spice/floral notes to it, alongside the lovely, lingering bright cedar. I am so in love that I put it in my hair, on my clothes and lightly as a perfume. BUY THIS!!!
