Blood Cedar wood oil is the Best American cedar wood oil period! Amazing odor and beautiful red color. A deep, rich cedar wood, smooth yet tenacious. Should result in a nice color in a final soap product. It is the preferred heartwood of older trees that gives this rich hue and undeniably superior scent. The Aroma is oily-woody, slightly sweet, mild and pleasant and somewhat balsamic. It is used extensively in aromatherapy, soap making and the perfume industry. Mixed with Ceylon Citronella it can be used as a mosquito-repellent. The dry woody character of the oil permits it to blend well with Patchouli, Sandalwood and Vetiver
