Ceen Kodo is a gentle oil that grows on you. The first impression is unassuming — quiet, almost reserved — but as the oil warms on the skin, a sweet Sinensis note begins to emerge. Honey-sweet at first, with the propolis character gradually taking over and asserting its position. The musk on this oil is genuinely outstanding. It is far deeper, far more present, than the cleaner character of Ceen itself, which is oriented elsewhere. This is a skin oil through and through. If you did not know the production process, you might assume natural musk had been added to the distillation. It has not. This is what well-aged Sinensis can do on its own. An accessible Kodo entry that demonstrates exactly what the series was designed to do — quiet, contemplative, deeply pleasant on the skin. Guangdong, China. 2016 Available in a 2.5g bottle
