How does this wintersweet oil compare with rose, jasmine or other floral oils?
Wintersweet oil is a rare winter-bloom floral with a spicy-sweet character and a cool camphoraceous top, sitting between rich rose-jasmine sweetness and fresh green citrus-florals. It is distilled from the flowers of Chimonanthus praecox, a Chinese native — its profile is unlike any other oil in this group.
