Product Overview

Himalayan Cedarwood Essential Oil—revered across India as Deodar ("Wood of the Gods")—is a rich, deeply grounding, velvety woody essential oil steam-distilled from the aromatic heartwood and sawdust of Cedrus deodara native to the Western Himalayas. Sharing the noble himachalene-rich lineage of Atlas Cedarwood while offering a slightly sweeter, smoother, more balsamic character, it delivers a warm, dry woody-resinous bouquet layered with honeyed-amber, soft leather, subtle smoky-incense, and delicate dried-fruit undertones. Prized in haute perfumery, traditional Indian attars, men’s grooming, and artisanal soaps, it functions as both an aristocratic base note and a dependable natural fixative.
