Not a big fan.
It's an interesting, unique scent. Glad to have it as part of my collection, don't think I will be burning it too much.

This is one of the most interesting resins I've ever tried. It has the same scientific name as a species of Dammar I tried before, but smells TOTALLY different and melts beautifully on a heater or charcoal. It is most definitely sharp and spicy, like a rare mix of copal and Dragon's Blood. This is SO worth trying if you love either one of these resins. You will not be disappointed. Sal Tree is very unique and has so many possibilities when used in a blend, since it has the scent properties of copal AND dragon's blood.
