I am horrible at notes as TAL oils are my first ever oils. I have no clue what this oil smells like notes wise. I love this oil. I got this oil for its description and it works very well. In combination to sleeping with brass balls the scent of this oil on my shirt is a nice calming oil that is keeping me from doing something stupid at work in relation to the bully on my team. Since I have started wearing this combination, I have had more courage, my anxiety at work has been much less. I have even started having the courage to ask questions and bring up issues. And this has such major staying power. Any time I find myself ready to snap at the bully I take a sniff of my shirt and instantly calm down. It also tends to neutralize the cheap artificial scents the sorters like to spray and burn when they come across them. I work as a Miscellaneous bagger at Value Village and we get a lot of cheap body sprays and the oil wax burners usually have remains in them... I have issues with a lot of commercial smells and having something that helps keep that headache at bay is awesome
