Product Overview

Atlas Cedarwood Essential Oil is a noble, deeply grounding woody essential oil steam-distilled from the aromatic heartwood of Cedrus atlantica, native to the Atlas Mountains of Morocco. Distinct from Virginian or Himalayan cedarwoods, true Atlas Cedarwood delivers a warm, velvety, sweet-balsamic woody aroma layered with soft honeyed-amber, dry pencil-shaving cedar, subtle camphoraceous resin, and sensual musky-leathery undertones. Prized in haute perfumery and traditional attar making, it serves as a versatile base note and natural fixative.
