*** So many people ask me, can this be used in a diffuser or to make candles...although I've never done either, my answer would be probably, but you probably aren't going to get the resulting scent that you want. This is an infused oil...not an essential oil, which is a very strong, concentrated scent. This is very very light. If you know what the desert smells like before a rain, this is it.*****Please don't confuse this creosote with the toxic tar that is from petroleum or shale oil. This is safflower oil infused with the leaves and branches of the creosote bush, native to the Southern Arizona desert. It is a widely used medicinal plant.**

What is the creosote bush?

A Desert Shrub That Smells Like Rain?

Someone once commented about how much they loved the wonderful smell of rain in the desert. This person had moved away and they missed the characteristic fragrance that permeates the desert air when the rains came. People who have not visited the southwestern parts of the US may wonder what on earth she was talking about.

Well, there is a shrub that can be seen growing predominately throughout the desert southwest that releases a wonderful fragrance whenever it rains. This shrub is known as Creosote {Chaparral}

Uses:

Fading dark spots on the skin.
Topical analgesic
Antiseptic
Facial night oil

I also sell creosote bundles....hang one in your shower and experience the wonderful desert rain scent!
