Description
Cedarwood Atlas Organic essential oil (Cedrus atlantica), deep, balsamic, and with a woody-spicy warmth that evokes the high-altitude forests of the Atlas Mountains, is one of the most versatile allies of the DIY formulator. With a history dating back to antiquity, cedar oil was used by the Egyptians in cosmetics and sacred rituals, and its wood impregnated papyrus sheets to protect them from insects, Cedarwood Atlas has earned a millennial reputation as an ingredient with holistic effects, both physical and emotional.
From a biochemical standpoint, its richness in sesquiterpenes (himachalenes) clearly distinguishes it from other cedars and gives it a unique profile: lipolytic and draining in body formulas, purifying and toning for a problematic scalp, stabilizing and anchoring in perfumery. It is a "foundation" oil, it does not stand out through brightness, but deepens and cohesively binds any formulation it enters, whether we are talking about a facial serum, an anti-cellulite balm, or a meditative blend for the diffuser.
air Olfactory profile: Warm, woody, sweetish-balsamic, with slightly spicy and tangy accents. A persistent, comforting base note, evoking the interior of a temple made of cedarwood.

Questions and Answers (FAQ)
Q: What is the difference between Atlas Cedar and other cedars (Virginia, Himalaya)?
A: They are three distinct species, with different biochemical profiles and properties. Atlas Cedar (Cedrus atlantica), native to the Atlas Mountains of Morocco and Algeria, is rich in himachalenes (sesquiterpenes) - compounds responsible for its lipolytic, draining, and anti-seborrheic properties, which make it preferred in cosmetics and perfumery. Virginia Cedar (Juniperus virginiana) actually belongs to the cypress family and has a sharper, woody-dry profile. Himalayan Cedar (Cedrus deodara) has similar calming properties but a different olfactory and biochemical profile. For cosmetic applications and perfumery, Atlas Cedar remains the reference.
Q: Can Atlas Cedar be used in daytime products or only in the evening?
A: Yes, it can also be used in daytime products - it is not photosensitizing. The only aspect to consider is that its persistent aroma may be too pronounced for some people in daytime leave-on products.
Q: Is Atlas Cedar suitable for dry or sensitive skin as well?
A: Atlas Cedar is primarily recommended for oily, combination, or seborrheic skin, due to its astringent and purifying properties. For dry or sensitive skin, it can be included in formulas, but in smaller proportions and combined with rich, emollient vegetable oils that compensate for the astringent effect.

Cedarwood oil is definitely my favorite. It has a strong, woody, masculine scent that grounds you. I personally associate it with sacred forests and the majesty of trees. I love it so much that I use it daily in my aromatherapy diffuser or on my forearm. Below I have attached pictures of the product and the cedar soap I created 💚

I picked up this essential oil for an oily scent and mom how surprised I was. The bottle smells like hay and horse manure. So excitement upon excitement. But along with some bergamot and more myrrh I got a scent that reminded me of caroling in some Italian coconut groves, on expensive thoroughbred, resting among citrus and smoke (from a legal fire) of well-dried wood.
