Cedarwood Virginia Essential Oil
Couldn't load pickup availability
Cedarwood is one of the first three aromatic materials ever used in the world. In ancient times, it was often present in church purification rituals alongside Vetiver and Sage.
Among the different cedarwood varieties, Virginia Cedarwood is the most common. It carries a distinctive scent — dry, richly woody, slightly oily, smooth, full-bodied, with a pronounced sweetness that becomes drier and sweeter in the drydown. Compared to other cedarwood types, it offers a warm, clean woody note with a sweeter nuance. SCENT directly sources this oil from the United States — the tree’s native land — to deliver the most authentic and robust aroma.

Blending
Cedarwood is one of the most widely used raw materials in perfumery, making it extremely versatile. It can be paired with other woody notes such as Patchouli, Vetiver, or Sandalwood, but its most harmonious blends are often with fruity, floral, and citrus accords. These combinations create a naturally warm fragrance — a dry, lightly sweet wood note with a subtle leathery undertone.
The scent of Virginia Cedarwood is often described as pencil shavings — dry, dense, and warm. It appears in most men’s fragrances for its ability to convey cleanliness, warmth, and a strong sense of trust.
Aromatherapy
In aromatherapy, cedarwood essential oil is widely valued for its antibacterial properties, acne treatment, pain relief, stress and anxiety reduction, sleep support, and hair growth stimulation. Its main constituents — Cedrol, Alpha-Cedrene, Beta-Cedrene, and Thujopsene — are responsible for both its characteristic scent and therapeutic effects.
Only natural, steam-distilled cedarwood essential oil contains these therapeutic benefits — take care to avoid synthetic blends.

The listed prices do not include the 8% VAT.
Does Scent have a store where I can try the products?

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.
How should essential oils be stored after purchase?
You should store essential oils in aluminum or dark glass bottles, away from sunlight, and at a temperature between 0 to 20℃.

Scent.vn focuses on direct sales to maintain quality control and therefore does not offer a distributor program for this product line. However, you can purchase essential oils in bulk from Scent.vn and sell them under your own brand.
