The oil is a translucent medium orangey brown color. Initially it smells quite soapy and floral, but the drydown is incredibly gorgeous spicy/resiny/woody.This might not be helpful, but your description of both the colour and the scent of the oil does sound like neither Makhanitis nor Khrysee to me - it reminds me more of my bottle of Melainis: the oil has a brownish colour and the scent once it has dried is definitely delightfully spicy/resiny/woody. Could there have been even more mis-labeling than you have already suspected? On the other hand the wet oil smells nothing even near of soapy or floral, it's a rather strong and distinct teak-note.
What Scent Is This?

As far as my limited knowledge goes: yes (please correct me if I'm wrong here - I have always wondered a bit why the lab uses both terms when it's apparently the same oil/scent). To my nose it's a very fresh/bright, citrus-y flower scent.
