Dr. Nick Notes
The energy expressed through Port Orford Cedarwood Essential Oil is gentle, woodsy and light - seemingly more sweet and subtle than Himalayan / Atlas cedar essences. Upon smelling this extract, one gets transported into the wet forest of Oregon where the birds fly courageously and the beautiful landscape swoons with each sunset.
I’ve found this to be a neat collectible plant essence for essential oil aficionados and perfumers alike. Not commonly traded on the commercial essential oil market, this is truly a neat addition to botanical perfumery adding another dimension in the mid-notes.
My therapeutic application with this Port Orford Cedarwood Essential Oil has been limited - applied to the bottom of the feet, I have found this to be quite grounding and relaxing. When inhaled I notice increased awareness into the moment, reminding me to be still in my body. This Port Orford Cedar Oil is fortifying and protective.
How to Use
- Mix a few drops in water and spray to repel insects and pests

- Add quantity as preferred for special mid-notes in botanical perfumery
