Sourced from the famous cedar mountains near Kyoto known as Kitayama, the straight grained, fragrant Kyoto Kitayama Sugi has long been prized in Japanese culture and used for building floors and pillars in traditional architecture. We are happy to now offer the Kitayamasugi Essential Oil.
The fragrance is similar to other cedars, yet with brighter floral and sweet notes.
As the name suggests, our oil is produced from wood harvested right from the scenic Kyoto Kitayama Mountains, extracted from the leaves with a method of steam distillation.
