Cedarwood

Cedarwood is one of perfumery's most essential and widely used wood notes, providing a dry, warm, pencil-like woodiness that gives structure and longevity to countless fragrances. The various species of cedar used in perfumery — Atlas, Virginia, Texas, and Himalayan — each bring slightly different character, from warm and oily to dry and smoky, but all share that clean, distinctively woody quality.

Cedarwood is the quiet workhorse of the fragrance world, appearing in the base of an enormous number of compositions. It pairs with virtually everything — florals, citrus, musks, spices, and other woods.

Its clean character and excellent fixative properties make it indispensable to perfumers worldwide.
