Cedarwood Himalaya Essential Oil
Couldn't load pickup availability
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.

The listed prices do not include the 8% VAT.
Does Scent have a store where I can try the products?
You can visit Scent's showroom in Ho Chi Minh City to explore fragrances and experience the products firsthand.
However, with the aim of becoming an online provider of fragrance products in Vietnam and Southeast Asia, Scent does not open additional branches. This approach helps optimize costs and allows us to offer you high-quality products at the best prices in the market.
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.
Can pregnant women use essential oils?
Pregnant and breastfeeding women should consult a healthcare professional before using essential oils, as they can affect hormones and the impact on the baby during development is not well understood.
What is the difference between natural essential oils and synthetic fragrances?
Essential oils are extracted from parts of plants, are entirely natural, and have therapeutic properties. In contrast, synthetic fragrances are created in a lab and contain artificial components.
How can I ensure that the essential oil is pure?
Scent.vn works directly with reputable global partners, inspecting their facilities and sourcing regions to ensure authenticity. We also conduct GCMS tests on each product to verify its components and quality.
