The true Cedar of Lebanon is known as Cedrus libani. The Cedar of Lebanon (Cedrus libani) is a protected tree and there is no essential oil available anywhere except Lebanon in a little apothecary shop. Even that shop has a supply that is very limited, we do not know for sure if the essential oil they have is pure cedar essential oil and it is extremely expensive to ship.
So each year we gather as much as we can from the tree around Israel and its borders to get enough to create this essential oil. Whatever falls off the tree and onto the ground we would harvest buds, leaves/needles, wood chips and tree limbs, bud needles, cone, and of course if any resin drips that harden and fall to the ground. All materials is then distilled together. We do get permission to take only what is on the ground since the trees are protected and we even pay to come to do the clean up if we have to just to obtain the materials we need create this small amount of oil. We also purchase any clippings and any pruning done to the trees. This is a costly process and expense for us to obtain this oil.
The smell is sweet, fresh, piney cedar, camphorus, slight menthol but creamy full-bodied essential oil. It is like smelling a Forest in the bottle. A very distinct smell.
SUPPLY IS VERY LIMITED!!!!
