History
This Cedarwood originates in the Atlas Mountains of North Africa. In
former times, linen chests were frequently crafted from this wood to
keep moths out. To date, clothes hangers are frequently crafted from
this wood for the same reason. The ancient Egyptians used this oil in
various ways, namely to embalm the deceased, for cosmetics and for perfumery.
A popular incense ingredient still commonly burned in Tibetan temples
(see Aromaland's Himalayan Cedarwood).
