Fantastic price for a very nice oil. This is a true cedar, not a juniper or a thuja. It's milder and sweeter than many other cedars and serves nicely to enhance and extend some of the more expensive woodies and resins. It also blends really well with citruses, herbals, and florals. Don't be put off by the low price: this is a quality oil.

Great for a Sinus/allergy formula. I have several people say they dont need their allergy medicine anymore. I mix it with Euclyptus, peppermint, lavender, helichrysm, AWESOME results..

I love the smell! It's not as strong in products as I expected, but the price is good, so using a little more doesn't hurt.
Lovely!

There is only a slight cedar smell. The more overwhelming scents are sweet and slightly medicinal.

I actually put this oil in my humidifier because where I work is so dry. It makes the air around smell very crisp and fresh-forest like.

I love this cedarwood, great price, high quality oil! It is a possible ABORTIFACIENT. Do not use if pregnant. Similar to Himalayan Deodar Cedarwood. Use for absent mindedness, acne, anxiety, arthritis, bronchitis, catarrh, cellulite, confidence building, cystitis, dandruff, dermatitis, eczema, fungal infections, greasy skin, hair loss, rheumatism, skin eruptions, stress, ulcers. (Also known as African Cedar, Atlantic Cedar, Atlas Cedar, Libanol Oil, Moroccan Cedarwood Oil.) I use this oil in many of my blends. An asset to any aromatherapist.
