Cryptomeria japonica
12-28€ / 10ml
Japanese cedar (Cryptomeria japonica) is actually the same tree as cryptomeria. It is Japan's national tree, covering vast mountainous forests. Revered in Shinto, it lines the approaches to temples. The sugi (its Japanese name) can live over 2000 years. Some specimens on Yakushima Island are among the oldest living trees on Earth.
Rich in cryptomerione and elemol, giving a warm, woody and slightly spicy profile. Distinguished from European and North American cedars by distinctly Asian aromatic character. Calming and grounding, ideal for meditation and Japanese-inspired ambiances.
