Smells great! I haven't tried the original so not sure if it is an exact copy. I've used it in body butter, hand and body cream, bath bombs and cold process soap. I had to hide the bottle to stop a bandit from putting a capful in his bath water. The entire house would be fragrant! This was easy to work with in cold process soap. I had plenty of time to mix colors and do a drop swirl. The scent sticks and travels too. This is a favorite in my house and with customers. I have to get more so I can try it in candles.
