Organic Himalayan Cedar Essential Oil (Cedrus deodara), 10 ml

Wood, quiet and a long evening

The harvest is hanging, the tools are cleaned and the grow journal is open on the table. This is the moment for Himalayan cedar. It smells of dry wood with soft balsamic edges, the kind of scent that makes a room feel settled rather than perfumed. We use it when we want the evening to slow down.

The oil is distilled with steam from the wood of the Himalayan cedar, Cedrus deodara, and bottled in 10 ml. Woody oils are rich, so a little goes a long way.

Where it fits

In the room

A few drops in a diffuser or aroma lamp in the living room, the study or the space where you sort seeds and write labels. In a grow room, scent the air, not the plants.

In homemade cosmetics

Cedar is a classic base note in natural cosmetics. Blend it into a massage oil, a body lotion or a bar of soap. For anything that touches the skin, dilute it in a carrier oil first, never apply it neat. It also pairs well with brighter oils, such as citrus, if you like building your own blends.

Handle with care

Essential oils are concentrates for cosmetic use. Do not drink them and do not add them to food. Close the bottle tightly after use and store it somewhere cool, dry and dark, out of reach of children and animals.

A tip from our bench: keep a small notebook for your blends, just like your grow diary. Note the oils, the drops and the carrier, and you can repeat a good mix whenever you want it.
