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.)
