| Cedarwood is possibly the very first essential oil. It has a long history of use as incense and perfume and the Egyptians used it for embalming and in cosmetics. These days it remains popular for its woody masculine scent in men’s colognes and cosmetics, and for its harmonising and balancing effects on the mind and body. Nature/Essence – Grounding & Harmonising |
|
 FOR THE SKINCedarwood is of great use for oily skin, helping to balance oil production and tone the skin with its astringent and antiseptic actions. These properties also make it a popular hair tonic to promote healthy hair, balance greasy hair or scalp, and address dandruff or hair loss. |
|
 FOR THE BODYCedarwood is a great oil to use as an inhalation or chest rub to ease congestion, coughs and bronchitis. It has been traditionally used for urinary tract conditions, useful in compresses or baths for cystitis. It also acts as a lymphatic and circulatory stimulant in massage oil blends for arthritis and cellulite. |
|
 FOR THE MINDThe woody outdoorsy fragrance of Cedarwood has a grounding effect to calm nervous tension, balance an upset nervous system and promote an open and positive mind. It can be a very helpful oil to diffuse during meditation. |
|

Smells and appears fresh, the scent is authentic Atlas Cedar smell (I have the cones to compare) and it is pleasant wiped around the house on wood as a background note. Not as strong or concentrated as I might have liked, but it smells like a quality oil with no synthetic or stale notes. Would buy again.
I mainly use this oil as a perfume and deodorant but occasionally use it with stored clothes as a moth deterrent (though have to be careful with that as it can stain). I find it a very pleasant scent and reasonably effective for what I'm using it for. It's safe to use on my skin and useful for household purposes. Good value for money, well presented with a good container for storage.
I was very curious about the Cedar oil aroma. The oil is great and adds a strong rich wood aroma to my wood dresser.
I have been using this over the winter months in a combination in my diffuser to keep colds and sniffles at bay with great success, combines with lemon, lavender and peppermint.
