Origin

This oil is distilled from the wood of Cedrus deodara, a cedar species native to the western Himalayas. Extraction typically involves steam distillation of aged heartwood, which is sustainably harvested from mature trees. The resulting essential oil is prized for its purity and distinctive olfactory profile.

It blends well with other woods, resins, spices, and florals, often serving as a grounding element in woody, oriental, and chypre fragrances.
