Cedarwood

Cedarwood 

Highlight: Warm, woody, grounding — the classic base note.

Description

Cedarwood (Juniperus virginiana) delivers a warm, woody, dry aroma with soft, balsamic undertones — the unmistakable scent of aged cedar and forest floor. Steam distilled from cedar wood, this pure essential oil is a versatile base note that anchors evening diffuser blends, grounding meditation rituals, and DIY body care blending. Softer and warmer than Cypress, drier than Sandalwood — the everyday woody staple that pairs with almost every other family of oils.

      Wyndmere Cedarwood is the BEST

      "I have tried several other brands of Cedarwood essential oils and and Wyndmere's is by far the most superb. I cannot recommend it for the greatest aromatic experience for your home."

      JoAnn (5/5)

      The only cedarwood I've ever used

      "I've been using this cedarwood oil since I was 19 and I'm almost 40. Out of all other essential oil brands, none compare to this one. I recently started soapmaking and added this with clary sage to a batch and it amazing. This cedarwood will ALWAYS be my go to."

      Mary (5/5)

      Cedarwood

      "I've been using EO for a long time and never had used cedarwood though I knew I had a lot of recipes that called for it. THIS OIL IS A GAME CHANGER!! It's been raining quite a lot where I live and this has been in almost every blend I've diffused! For a nice, cabin(y) vibe - use Cedarwood!"
