DESCRIPTION
Kamelya's Western Cedar Essential Oil (Arborvitae), emblematic of Quebec, is obtained by steam distillation of the twigs of Thuja occidentalis. A rare essence intimately linked to the northern terroir, it embodies the purity of the boreal forests and the strength of centennial trees. Its camphorous, fresh, and resinous fragrance evokes the forest after rain and gives an impression of clarity and renewal.
Powerful by nature, this essential oil is used sparingly. In diffusion, it contributes to an expansive and invigorating atmosphere, with a sensation of clear air. When well diluted, it is integrated at very low doses into scented preparations with a woody and tonic character. In artisan perfumery, it brings a distinct forest note, typical of the boreal landscape.
A symbol of Northern vitality, Western Cedar essential oil connects one to raw nature and the energy of life. It embodies the quiet strength, balance, and deep breath of the great Quebec forests.
Sensory Signature: camphorous breath, clear resin, damp wood, and boreal freshness.
