Oh, I put so much hope into this oil, and I'm sorry to say I was let down. Out of the bottle, it smells rather . . . artificial. I was hoping that could be remedied, and that maybe it would blend well with holiday notes like cinnamon and holly in a bath and body oil. It didn't blend with those notes so much as ATTACK them and BEAT THEM SENSELESS. I spent lots of time trying to rescue the blend, to temper its overbearingness (mind you, this was just the SoS concentration) and it snatched up every other element and swallowed them whole. I ended up with a monstrosity that smelled more like curry than anything resembling chestnuts. If you're willing to take on this oil, I recommend that you begin VERY sparingly and mellow it with notes of vanilla or some other sweet creamy base. It's a beast! ;)...
