Dry, woody and quietly resinous, this Virginian cedarwood essential oil brings the feeling of polished timber, warm cupboards and still evening air. It is steam distilled from the wood of Juniperus virginiana, sourced from the USA, giving it a grounded base-note character for diffusers, oil burners and careful blending.

The amber bottle and black ribbed cap give it the practical feel of a working aromatherapy shelf.
