What does Sexy Sadie smell like exactly?

It's a warm, sweet, and exotic fragrance with layers of complexity. The dominant notes are creamy vanilla and floral ylang ylang (which has a tropical, slightly jasmine-like quality), balanced by bright sweet orange citrus and finishing with warm cinnamon spice. The champaca flower adds an elegant depth. It's sophisticated, sensual, and reminiscent of high-end natural perfumes.

Can I use this as a perfume replacement?

Absolutely! Many users apply it to pulse points (wrists, neck, behind ears) as a natural fragrance that lasts for hours. Because it's oil-based rather than alcohol-based, the scent develops and lingers on skin beautifully without being overpowering. It's an excellent alternative to synthetic perfumes for those with sensitivities.

Will this make my hair greasy?

Not when used correctly! The key is applying it to damp hair as a treatment, then shampooing it out thoroughly. For leave-in use, apply just 1-2 drops to the ends of damp hair—the small amount absorbs completely without leaving greasiness. Argan and jojoba oils actually help regulate scalp oil production over time.

Is this safe for sensitive skin?

Most people with sensitive skin tolerate it well because it contains only pure botanical ingredients with no synthetic fragrances or harsh chemicals. However, cinnamon and ylang ylang essential oils can be potent, so if you have very reactive skin, do a patch test first. The oils are diluted in carrier oils, making them gentler than using pure essential oils.

How is this different from Dirty Hipster body oil?

Both share the same multi-use botanical base formula with rosehip, argan, and vitamin E, but the scent profiles are completely different. Dirty Hipster is earthy and deep with patchouli and vetiver (more unisex/masculine), while Sexy Sadie is sweet, floral, and spicy with vanilla and ylang ylang (more feminine/romantic). Choose based on your fragrance preference.

Can I layer this with other fragrances?

Yes, but the scent is quite distinctive and may compete with other perfumes. It works best on its own or layered with complementary scents like vanilla, amber, or citrus-based fragrances. Many users find they don't need additional fragrance when wearing Sexy Sadie.
