It has more of a medicinal smell (like Kenzi described) than anything
else. Strangely, I couldn't sniff that familiar earthy henna smell at
all. If I send you a sample of this paste, would you be able to
tell ? I'm dying to know what they added to the henna to make this
wonderful paste! I don't know how cajeput smell like so I don't know
if it's in there. I will go sniffing around EOs soon :) ...

I've been pleased with the fading process so far. I forgot to mention
that once I did a pattern using the paste on my palm and how it faded
was, after about 5 days, the skin where the patterns are seem a
little "raised" so my whole palm was really rough. The colour was
still very dark, seems like it didn't fade at all. But it looks like
my skin which are bare has gone through exfoliation but the skin
where the henna was hadn't (make sense?). Of course my itchy fingers
start to peel the rough skin away and the skin underneath was
spotless! So all I did was scrub my hands for a couple of days and
all the stain was gone.

Does cajeput and frankincense do the same thing ? I'm so curious with
this whole EO business :) ...
