Pencils and pine needles. That about sizes this Cedarwood Texas EO up and the fact that it isn't overwhelming is great. I've found that this is great for adding a light woodsy scent if that's what you're looking for in a particular recipe. I look forward to creating a cologne that smells like a cigar box, yeah that's weird, but it'll be fun.

I love this scent in the bath. I use a bottle cap full of the Texas Cedarwood oil and just a few drops of bergamot under the spout at night (with bubble bath, glycerin, and baby oil) in the Jacuzzi. It's a scent that makes me feel relaxed and renewed. The scent stays on your body but very lightly. I find it a masculine scent, but my wife likes it too.

this cedarwood is a toned down version of the virginian cedarwood. very nice, not so "sharp", and goes wonderfully with lavender and tea tree in a facial cleanser. Excellent value!

A very mellow cedarwood, and far more understated than the cedarleaf EO offered. (Both the cedarleaf and cedarwood seem to have their own aromatherapeutic niche). This cedarwood has little or no "bite" - I would say it isn't even as sharp as the pencil wood smell mentioned. Really lovely base note with some of the less aggressive citrus oils, such as bergamot.

As well as the other cedarwood varities, this one is highly valued as a great ingredient in insect repellents (as I use it it my Bug-Off blend). It is similar to Virginian Cedarwood. Use for acne, arthritis, bronchitis, congestion, coughs, eczema, greasy hair, insect repellent, nervous tension, oily skin, psoriasis, rheumatism, sinusitis. (Also known as Juniperus mexicana, Mexican Cedar, Mexican Juniper, Mountain Cedar, Rock Cedar.)
