Cedarwood Oil American

Cedarwood oil remains a versatile and valued staple across fragrance and functional perfumery, with several distinct botanical origins offering varied olfactory profiles. At Berje we work with our long-term exclusive partners to provide a wide range of cedarwood qualities and sources. 

Texas cedarwood oil (Juniperus mexicana) is primarily a byproduct of brush-clearing efforts in the Texas Hill Country, where the species is considered invasive. The crude oil from this origin is known for its rich, balsamic profile which is often described as warm pencil shavings. Redistilled grades are paler in color with a more refined, softer aroma. 

Virginia cedarwood oil (Juniperus virginiana), sourced from the southeastern U.S., offers a smoother, creamier scent with a classic cedar character. It has a clean profile and lighter color, making it a popular choice for fine fragrance and personal care applications. 

Global supply across these origins is relatively stable, though labor availability at harvest sites can be challenging. Our partner producers continue to focus on sustainable sourcing and upcycling of wood waste, which contributes to a more environmentally responsible supply chain.
