Cedarwood Atlas essential oil. This is a true cedar from the family Pinaceae, also known as Atlantic cedar and Moroccan cedarwood.
This oil is quite different from Virginian cedarwood. Its sweet, woody aroma improves as the oil ages, its aroma is also sharper than Virginian. Please do not smell directly from the bottle, use a perfume tester. Below is what others have said or written about this oil.
This oil may aid in the removal of body fat and is used externally for cellulite and the retention of fluid in the tissue. The oil is also used for the respiratory system, a drop in a half cup of water to gargle for sore throat or with a few drops of Eucalyptus in a steaming bowl of water to reduce nasal and lung congestion. Its main benefits are on the respiratory system due to its expectorant properties, easing conditions such as bronchitis, coughs and colds.
Its antiseptic properties make it an ideal remedy for bladder and kidney infections and for cystitis. The oil may be added to a sitz bath and applied in compresses. It has been added to shampoos or facial washes to reduce oily secretions. The oil may help to clear chronic conditions such as dermatitis and psoriasis. It would make a good hair tonic and effective for treating seborrhoea of the scalp, dandruff and alopecia. This oil is also used as a fixative in the perfume industry.
Cedarwood Atlas is calming and soothing with sedative effects similar to Sandalwood. This oil should not be used on children, pregnant women and the elderly or infirm. Blends well with bergamot, clary sage, frankincense, oakmoss and rosemary. Its color ranges from pale yellow to amber, color will vary from batch to batch. Flash point: 200F.

I use this in my sea clay body mask/scrub for detox and cellulite, as well as aftershave and colognes. I'm looking forward to incorporating in other blends as well since it rounds out a woodsy, earthy blend with such unmatched grace. A true surprise since, when I first took in its aroma, I was unsure what to do with it. It's another "best of both worlds" (meaning both scent and therapeutic value) in my book!

I use this essential oil in my CP soap for men and I can't keep it on the shelves! It seems my customers can't get enough of it, men & women both. The Cedarwood E.O. is such a nice warm, woodsy scent and is not overpowering.

One of my personal favorites and at a great price!

I use this in homemade cleaners. Love the fresh woodsy smell it leaves. Makes a lovely CP soap mixed with orange EO.

I bought this oil recently and I have always loved the smell of cedar. I am completely thrilled with it. I used it in a batch of goat milk soap with a little bit of tea tree oil for a woodsy smelling and possibly insect repelling soap! Very nice. Top Quality.

This oil reminds me of the big cedar closets my parents had in their basement. The aroma is simply intoxicating! I use this oil in perfumes, insect repellents, diffusers, shampoo, and as a skin tonic..great for acne and oily skin.

I add a few drops of cedarwood and peppermint to a 50/50 mixture of sweet almond oil and jojoboa as a flea and mosquito repellent for my inside dogs and cats (just don't use it around the eyes). The oil quickly absorbs and their coat looks great. It also helps to keep their coat bacterial and fungus free and it makes them smell great! For my outside dogs, horse and goat, I make a mixture with water. Just what I will use for the day and spray it on them once to twice a day. Repels flys and gnats wonderfully!

I've tried other Atlas Cedarwood essential oils. But this one! This one takes my breath away. It is very warm and woody, but also has a mild sweetnes about it. It takes everything I can do not to just sit and smell it straight from the bottle.
Camden-Grey is one of my top favorites for purchasing essential oils. Even one of my soap-making books recommends Camden-Grey as a company that gives you what you ask for.
I use this Atlas Cedarwood in several of my soaps and lotions and my customers love it!

If the bulk item happens to be in stock, we’ll ship sooner than the customer would expect.

Fragrances and carrier oils up to 8 lbs. may remain inside HDPE plastic bottles indefinitely. If the customer at any time feels more comfortable transferring a product to glass this should be done.
