We have a very fine Texas Cedarwood essential oil – it displays great tenacity and a pleasantly balsamic, smoky-pencil-woody, sweet, somewhat tar-like, faintly oily aroma that becomes sweeter in the drydown. This oil has attributes similar to Virginia Cedarwood and is used extensively in the perfume industry due to its versatility and being readily available.

The oil of Texas Cedarwood is used extensively in perfumery; as a blender for … ambresic and leather bases, patchouli, pine, spruce, vetiver, etc., the oil of Juniperus mexicana is a most versatile material for the creative perfumer.



Please be careful when purchasing Cedar essential oil. Atlas Cedarwood and Himalayan Cedarwood are the most notably used for aromatherapy, have a more balsamic aroma, and are the only true Cedars typically available. Texas Cedarwood and Virginia Cedarwood are actually Junipers and although quite useful, are different in aroma and effects. Also, Cedar Leaf oil (Thuja occidentalis, also known as American Arborvitae, Eastern Arborvitae, Eastern White Cedar, Swamp Cedar, or Northern White Cedar is from a type of Cypress that is best used very carefully or not at all due to its toxicity.


Storage Suggestions: This oil will actually improve with age, that is, the aroma will become deeper, rounder and more refined over time when properly stored at a constant temperature below 65-70F degrees.
