Himalayan Cedarwood essential oil (Cedrus deodara) is steam-distilled from the heartwood of ancient, towering cedars native to the Himalayas. Its scent is distinctly woody—warm, dry, and gently smoky—with a hint of balsamic sweetness and a fresh, slightly camphoraceous top.

In Buddhist tradition, this noble wood has long been offered in spiritual settings; its deep, comforting aroma evokes a sense of stillness and ease. Across history, Cedarwood has held a central place in global aromatics.

Blending

A staple raw material in perfumery, Cedarwood Himalaya delivers a sweet-woody, refined depth with a soft resinous facet, a touch of rusticity up top, a whisper of smoke, and notable longevity.

It pairs beautifully with other woody notes like Patchouli, Vetiver, and Sandalwood, and it shines in accords with fruity, floral, and citrus families.

Aromatherapy

Traditionally, Himalayan Cedarwood is valued for its antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, and antifungal properties, and it’s often used to help with blemish-prone skin, minor aches, stress relief, and sleep support.

The wood itself is rich in essential oil, which is why furniture crafted from Cedrus deodara naturally helps deter insects—mirroring the oil’s own repellent qualities. Some studies also suggest it may help regulate sebum and provide antioxidant activity. Always dilute with a suitable carrier oil before applying to skin.

Can essential oils be applied directly to the skin?

Many essential oils need to be diluted before being applied to the skin; otherwise, their high concentration may cause irritation.
