Review on CheruBalm 2.0 oz Baby Skin Balm with Chrism Scent, Twist Tube for Easy Application, Ideal Baptism Gift by Pamela Beatty

Revainrating 4 out of 5

As they say, the smell is BASED on Holy Myrrh Oil

If you are looking for an exact replica of the chrism oil used during Mass, you will not find it anywhere. It's different for every church, so that's the way it is, and that's a good thing. This is holy oil, you should not spray and apply holy oil like perfume. So it loses its meaning. However, this balm can certainly evoke the same emotions as myrrh oil, I would say it just lacks a few oils (I think maybe frankincense and balm). My son's christening is only a week away at the moment, so the smell is still very strong in my memory. However, I have to say if it were a few months later I'd say it smelled just like world butter. My opinion on the smell: It's a little heavy for the smell of cloves. I think it makes up for the lack of incense. Still I like it. Summary: If you are looking for a replica, the only way to do it is to attend many baptisms and smell it at Mass :) If you are just looking for something based on the scent of chrism. Oil, it's definitely the closest I've found on the market.
