Cedarwood Virginia Oil Rect.
Used in 31 formulas
About this material
Cedarwood Virginia Oil Rectified has a warm, dry woodiness that opens with a slightly sweet, balsamic character. The scent is smooth and rounded, with a subtle camphoraceous note that adds freshness without being overpowering. As it develops, the woodiness deepens, providing a grounding effect that enhances the overall composition. This oil is excellent for adding depth and longevity to fragrances, making it a reliable base note. It pairs well with other woody notes, like sandalwood and vetiver, as well as with citrus and aromatic herbs to create a balanced, natural scent profile. The rectified grade means it has been processed to remove some of the harsher elements, resulting in a softer, more refined scent.
