Nootka essential oil (Cupressus Nootkasensis) comes from North American conifers known as Alaska Grand Cedar. These trees are very popular in Canada in the construction industry. However, their essential oil is much rarer. In fact, its supply chain depends entirely on that of the construction industry. Our producer has reached an agreement with loggers to collect all unused sawdust from Nootka cedar logging operations. This sawdust is then transformed into essential oil through hydrodistillation. This is a prime example of waste recovery, which is very important to us.

 

Powerful and unrivalled, its fragrance is on the borderline between smoky, leathery and woody. This essence of character naturally accompanies materials such as Patchouli, Cedarwood or Sandalwood. In olfaction, it is used to imitate the serene and fresh atmosphere of the cold forests of North America or Europe. Relaxing, Nootka essential oil invites you to let go and allows you to escape. Like an olfactory journey, a walk in the forest in faraway lands but at home.

Olfactory Description

Also known as Alaskan Cypress, Nootka offers an irresistibly punchy essential oil to the nose. From the outset, the fragrance fills the air with a very identifiable woody and green signature, which one would not be wrong to associate with cedar, although more aromatic and fruity. Its aniseed and resinous accents and many exotic facets make it particularly recognisable.

 

It lasts with great elegance, as its trail becomes more floral and powdery, ensuring long lasting wear on any surface. Its momentum gradually exhausted, it ends its run on a soft, cottony impression, a powdery note of a delicacy that leaves one speechless.

Associations:

In its initial freshness, Nootka essence can be accompanied by zesty notes such as Bergamot or Lemongrass. Aromatic facets also suit it well: try our Cypress or Lavender. It is also very friendly with white flowers such as Jasmine, which embrace it without driving it… Finally, other woods can join it, such as Sandalwood, rich in milky accents.
