Oh Creosote! This was a long journey for a gal in Kansas to figure out. After sending many testers, all of my responses were thumbs up for this blend. It's a dry version of the fragrant bush found in the desert.

Tested at 5.00%. Batter went to a medium thick trace instantly after adding in fragrance, but loosened enough to pour when stirred. Discolored to a light caramel color, great scent retention in cured bars.

Where to start? As a desert native I have to say this scent perfectly encapsulates the Southwest. I got both the wet and dry, but I much prefer the dry. Bear with me as I try my best to paint a scene for you. It's the smell you smell in the evening as you hear the cicadas loudly buzzing. The sky is bright, filled with pink and orange, except for the eastern horizon, where the massive clouds gather in darkness, promising rain, thunder, and violent winds. It's the charged stillness right before the monsoon hits. And really this is exactly what I was looking for. I decided to add some petrichor to it as well, and it created the scent you inhale as the winds pick up and you watch the wall of rain advance on you. I made a room spray with it, and I'm just waiting on my incense sticks to finish their soak. Absolutely LOVE this scent. If you're on the fence, just buy it. You won't regret it.
For years we have had customers asked for this fragrance and Little Bee Scents has nailed it!
These are incredible scents! Being an Arizona native, this scent is like nothing else. We live for it here! Gives me all the monsoon feels! The dry scent is so spot on by itself but I’ve added a cpl other elements to really bring out that wet dirt/soil/airy and mild floral scent. While the wet creosote has a more peppery, wet soil mixed with damp air smell with less floral. I am mind blown really! I will absolutely be ordering more!
After seeing all the other comments about it being very faithful to the desert rain smell that creosote has, I'm a little disappointed. I live in the Chihuahuan desert region, and I can sense a hint of desert rain, but I wouldn't say that this is it. It has some fruitiness and extra green-ness that doesn't go away even after sitting for a while.
I'll give this to a coworker who likes the smell.
My customers LOVE this scent! I mixed it with some of the wet creosote I had and it’s amazing.
