Usage
Use (Hekserij)
Essential oil Cedarwood Virginia has a sweet wood scent. Because it is not
overly strong, dilution of the substance is not necessary. It is a very
versatile substance and combines well with other woods such as sandalwood. But
also with the scent of citrus, moss, herbs and spices, it fits particularly well
with chypres. A classic example of use is as a wood base in combination with
vetiver oil. It is mainly a base note in perfumes, although it easily penetrates
into the heart and even the top of the perfume. It is stable in most products,
including soap. The smell is less strong in soap than you would expect, but the
oil does have a fixing effect on many other fragrances.
