Cedarwood
Cedarwood presents a dry, woody aroma, often described as clean, sharp, and reminiscent of freshly sharpened pencils or a dry sauna. Its texture is typically perceived as smooth yet slightly coarse, lacking the oiliness of some other woods. The intensity can range from subtle and airy to robust and grounding, depending on the specific species and concentration. It tends to evolve from a sharper, more volatile opening (especially with Virginia cedar) into a softer, warmer, and more stable presence as it dries down. Projection is usually moderate, providing a steady, reliable presence rather than an overwhelming sillage. Longevity is excellent, making it a quintessential base note, though it can also function effectively in the heart to provide structure and bridge top notes to the dry down.
