This one's a bit of a hidden gem. Restore opens with warm orange and bergamot – familiar, comforting citrus – but then takes a really interesting turn as the aniseed, cypress and ylang ylang come through. It's not what you'd expect, and that's exactly why people love it. Warm, woody, slightly spiced, and beautifully complex.
If you like scents that are a bit different – not your usual lavender or vanilla – this is worth a try. It's got real character.
Scent Profile
Top Notes: Orange, bergamot
Heart Notes: Aniseed, cypress, ylang ylang
Base Notes: Cedarwood, patchouli
The orange and bergamot open it up warmly – not as sharp as lemon or lime, more rounded and inviting. Then the aniseed comes in with a slightly sweet, herbal spice that gives it a real edge. Cypress adds a fresh, woody depth, and ylang ylang brings in a touch of floral richness without being overpowering. The cedarwood and patchouli base tie it all together with a deep, earthy warmth.
It's the kind of scent that people either clock immediately or take a moment to appreciate. Once it settles, it's gorgeous.
100% Essential Oil
Seven essential oils in this one, and every single one is doing something. The aniseed is the star of the show – it's what makes Restore feel unique – but it's balanced beautifully by the citrus and the woody base notes. Pure essential oils, nothing artificial, and genuinely complex.
The throw is softer than my fragrance oil blends, but it builds nicely and fills a room with warmth once it gets going.

Why You'll Love It
I'll be honest – this isn't for everyone, and I think that's a good thing. The aniseed gives it a distinctiveness that you either love or you don't, and the people who love it really, really love it. It's one of those scents that people come back for because nothing else quite scratches the same itch.
Beyond the aniseed though, there's a gorgeous warmth here. The orange keeps it feeling bright and inviting, the cypress adds a lovely woody freshness, and the ylang ylang rounds it out with just enough floral sweetness. It's complex without being confusing – warm, spiced, and properly interesting.
With approximately 88 hours of burn time, one clamshell will keep things feeling warm and intriguing for a long time. If you want something that stands out from the usual suspects, Restore is worth trying.
