Cedarwood Virginia essential oil, extracted from Juniperus virginiana, is a staple for perfumers due to its versatility and distinctly masculine aroma. Its scent evokes a cedarwood forest, blending dry, woody, and balsamic notes with hints of incense, pencil shavings, and vetiver. Perfect for fougère and woody compositions, it adds depth and warmth to various fragrance accords.
Native to the U.S., the red cedar is a juniper species from the Cupressaceae family, growing across eastern North America and southwestern France. This majestic tree, reaching up to 20 meters, has a long lifespan.
