Cedarwood Absolute - Atlas 5 ml. Eden Botanicals

The aroma of Atlas Cedarwood Absolute is sweet, balsamic, dry, woody, warm, and resinous with notes of apricot liqueur. It is unparalleled in its depth, more voluptuous than the essential oil, and destined to be a rare gem for use in natural perfumes as well as scented ointments and ritual anointments. The woody aroma is one that perfumers often describe as ‘masculine’, although in fact it appeals to all genders. And because Cedarwood’s warm, embracing fragrance has a profoundly soulful quality, it is often found in more introspective, personal perfumes and in meditation blends. The oil of Atlas Cedarwood is believed to be associated with fertility, abundance and quite possibly as an aphrodisiac. Energetically, Cedarwood helps ground and calm the mind, easing release of both physical stress and pent-up emotional tension.
