A bit of culture:

The Atlas Cedar is a majestic tree 25 to 50 meters high from the Pinaceae family native to the Atlas (as its name suggests) mountain range in North Africa. It can live for hundreds of years.

It will appear in Europe in the 19th century.

The name cedar means "power" in Arabic.

Essential oil (EO) is obtained from the distillation of wood. It takes about 35kg of wood to obtain 1kg of essential oil.

It is mainly used in diffusion for meditation and promotes relaxation of body and mind where it is often used in addition to incense or other essential oils such as lemon or white grapefruit.< /p>
