DESCRIPTION: Atlas Cedarwood is extracted from a tree that is native to the Atlas mountains of Morocco, though it is also known to be grown in some parts of the far east. The majestic tree is known to produce an oil that has been widely associated with ancient religious rites. The essential oil is known to evoke qualities of spiritual strength and confidence. It is also considered as one of the earliest-known oils and commonly used as temple incense by Tibetans.
