I guess the rocks are a good diffuser of the oil. The Puroleo cedar oil worked really well for that, and every time I walk out there, I actually inhale deeply because it feels like I'm entering a cedar forest. I also have been pouring enzyme deodorizer Nature's Miracle, etc down there all the time but it just doesn't penetrate deep enough I guess, so I needed something to mask the residual odor, since I often hang out there staying out of the wind, while the dogs go out and do their thing. In desperation, I drizzled cedar oil into the big rocks and some of the gravel, and I must say it is MUCH more pleasant there. Since it's also a damp and cold area, it really retained that odor. Well, the dogs seem to be confused, they think it IS outdoors, and for a while, despite all my training, they would relieve themselves there on the way to the actual patio door to the outside (Grrrr). For example, I have a summer porch, glassed in, with rough stone and packed gravel floor (like you'd find in an outdoor patio or pathway). I immediately started dribbling it all over the house. Woodsy cedar like when you crush a cedar needle, and somehow, lots of floral character as well. True, this does play lighter, but because it's not "heavy handed" like the Giles. Once I rubbed just a drop between my fingers, I realized that what I thought was "lightness" was actually rich, deep complexity. When I first opened the bottle and sniffed it I felt disappointed because it was so much "lighter" than the Giles. Even though I was really happy with the Giles brand and did find it at a decent price online out side Amazon, I decided to try Puroleo on a whim. So I usually by the Giles cedar oil from Amazon but it was super pricey this time around and I looked for alternatives.
