Cedar Absolute

Cedar absolute, derived primarily from the wood of cedar trees, is a concentrated aromatic extract frequently used in perfumery and aromatherapy. Its scent profile is richly woody, warm, and balsamic with underlying earthy and slightly resinous tones. This complex aroma is also marked by subtle hints of leathery and smoky notes, which adds depth and a soothing, comforting quality to the fragrance.

Cedar absolute is typically extracted through solvent extraction from the wood chips and sawdust of cedar trees, mainly those from the species Cedrus atlantica or Juniperus virginiana. The resulting oil is thick, viscous, and dark in color, highly valued for its strong, long-lasting scent.

Renowned for its grounding and calming properties, cedar absolute is often incorporated into products intended to promote relaxation and stress relief. It blends well with a variety of other essential oils including sandalwood, rose, bergamot, and jasmine, making it a versatile ingredient in creating nuanced and layered fragrance compositions in perfumes, colognes, and scented products.
