Review: CHIDORIYA Hinoki Balm

Happy accident: I've just recovered this balm from under some shelves/drawers in my closet, where it somehow had lost itself, probably some two or three years ago. Passing over what that says about the state of my closet and speaking to product longevity -- still in perfect condition! Shouldn't be too surprising, I guess, given camellia oil (the main ingredient in the base) has an extraordinarily long shelf-life and hinoki (Japanese cypress) fungicidal properties.

Chidoriya's Hinoki is a simple and authentic hinoki essential oil scent -- none of the ozonic flinty opening of Comme des Garçons Monocle Series Hinoki fragrance.
