Cedarwood Virginian - 10ml

Cedarwood Virginian, steam-distilled from the heartwood of the Juniperus virginiana tree, is a richly grounding and calming oil with a dry, woody, and slightly smoky aroma. Native to the southeastern United States, this species is technically a type of juniper, though it is commonly referred to as “cedarwood” due to its aromatic timber and historical use.

Renowned for its stabilizing and soothing effects on the mind and body, Cedarwood Virginian is widely used in aromatherapy to promote emotional balance, ease anxiety, and support restful sleep. Its grounding aroma is ideal for meditation, stress relief, and calming the nervous system during times of overwhelm.

Topically, the oil offers natural antiseptic, astringent, and insect-repellent properties, making it a beneficial addition to skincare for oily or acne-prone skin and to natural deodorants and insect-repelling blends. It is also helpful in supporting healthy respiratory function when diffused or applied in chest rubs.

Cedarwood Virginian serves as a base note and fixative in natural perfumery, where it blends well with florals, spices, and citrus oils, adding depth and longevity to blends.
