This is my favourite EO...I find it warm, soothing and intoxicating. Beautiful as a single note and a favourite ingredient in a blend of Himalayan Cedarwood, Basil and Lemon. I have tested it in soy candles, and have found the scent holds but is rather subtle.

This oil is the answer for anyone looking for just the right scent for their male clients. I consider this a very sharp, masculine scent, perfect for creating soaps and sport rubs geared toward males. It would also be great for using alone or in blends to re-create a "lodge" scent for use in saunas, or as room fresheners.

This essential oil is very precious in my soapmaking. It is a rich woody and balsamic smelling essential oil. I mix it with other balsamic essential oils. Its smell brings a feeling of well being and calm.

I have purchased other cedarwood himalayan oils from several other, very reputable, providers, and they have all smelt about the same, very nice, sweet, a little sharp. They were all more than satisfactory.
I ordered cedarwood himalayan from new directions, and gave it a smell. This is some really good stuff!!!
Much, much, better than any I have tried.
It is "sweeter" a little softer and no bit on the "top".
It, the fragrance, is also much more "defined", substantial, "thick" if you will.
This cedar out-classes anyother cedar I have presently.

There are so many varieties of cedarwood, this one is very similar to the Atlas varitey and is a Possible ABORTIFACIENT. Do not use if pregnant. I use it in my acne blend but does have many other uses like: 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 Deodar Cedarwood oil.) Cedarwood is also a spiritual helper as well, and this one is of highest caliber.
