Thujopsene Ex Cedar Wood

Phenomenal Wood Material

The most linear yet complex wood note that I didn't know I needed desperately. Where Virginia cedar is floral and Texas cedar is more rounded and balsamic and pencil like, this is, as others have said, a stack of freshly cut boards with none of the hamster cage type notes that I sometimes fear when I get new cedarwood mats. I do find it has a smoke note, almost like a 2x4 smells freshly cut by a power saw. Going to mega overdose this in an incense / church themed blend. It rules. Buy 25g of it.

beautiful

no pencil shavings, just pure golden cedar.

Great cedarwood filler note

Thujopsene doesn’t get much love in the natural perfumery spotlight, but I’ve come to appreciate it as a quiet workhorse - dry, neutral, and remarkably versatile. It brings a clean, woodsy backbone that’s rare among naturals, especially for those of us working without synthetic crutches like Iso E Super. While it doesn’t have the radiance or volume of those lab-made materials, it plays a similar structural role: supporting the composition without pulling attention.
