Description of Cedarwood Essential Oil Atlas
The scent of Cedarwood Atlas
essential oil can be described as being warm, sweet, and tenacious, with a
balsamic aroma. The Oil is a yellowish to orange-yellow or deep amber-colored. It is a thick oil and it will occasionally appear somewhat cloudy. It is steam distilled from the wood, stumps, wood chips or sawdust of the tree. Atlas cedarwood is thought to have originally come from the Lebanon Cedarwood which grew in Lebanon and on the island of Cyprus. The Lebanon cedars were mentioned it the Bible, symbolizing everything fertile and abundant. Today, the Lebanon Cedar is protected from being cut for commercial purposes.
The Aromatherapy Place offers a variety of Cedarwood
essential oils to suit your preference. Atlas Cedarwood is different from Cedarwood Virginian, chemically and from the standpoint of its scent. The tree C. atlantica is a pine, not a cypress such as the Virginian cedarwood. However, Atlas Cedarwood is related to Cedarwood Himalyan, which grows at high altitudes in the Himalyan Mountains. Over time, treat yourself to a special sensual experience by trying and comparing the qualities of all our Cedarwoods
