Frequently asked questions

Some questions and answers are automatically generated.

How strong is the scent?
Most reviewers describe the chips as very fragrant with a strong, distinct cedar smell. Several customers specifically note the fragrance is powerful enough for tincturing and incense blending. One reviewer who expected a fainter scent from aged cedar chips found these had more aroma than anticipated.
Can I use these chips instead of essential oil?
Yes. The product description notes that cedar chips can often replace essential oil for incense, potpourri, sachets, steam inhalations, and perfume tinctures, and reviewers confirm they work well for these applications. The chips are said to offer a more complex fragrance profile than distilled essential oil.
What are the best uses for these chips?
Reviewers have successfully used them for incense blends, tincturing for perfumes, smudging, hair tonic sprays, room potpourri, and sachets. The description also mentions steam inhalations. Customers note the chips can be powdered in an electric grinder to prepare them for loose or formed incense.
How long does the scent last?
The product description states the wood's ability to retain fragrance for years is well-known, and notes that cedar chests and cabinets decades old still retain their aroma. Stored in the resealable pouches in a cool, dark, dry place away from direct sunlight, the chips will keep for a long period.
Does the scent remind people of specific things?
Yes—reviewers describe varied but distinctive impressions. Some detect notes reminiscent of fresh book paper, sandalwood, or caramelized sugar. One customer compared it to the classic scent of a cedar chest from childhood, while another found it relaxing and stress-reducing.
How much scent will I get per ounce?
The product description notes these ounces are 30 grams (not the 25 grams many sellers offer), and that staff intentionally add extra to every bag. You should weigh the product before use to confirm the quantity, as you will likely receive more than the stated amount.
Will this match the scent of an old cedar chest?
Most reviewers report the scent is consistent with what they know as cedar, though one customer searching for a specific scent memory from a vintage cedar chest found these chips did not match what they were looking for.
Is this a sustainable alternative to Atlas Cedar oil?
Yes. The product description emphasizes that cedar chips are a more sustainable choice than essential oil, as vast quantities of Atlas Cedar wood are required to distill a small amount of oil, and the trees are being felled faster than they can regenerate. Multiple reviewers specifically mention buying this for its ecological soundness.
For many applications, cedarwood shavings and chips are a more practical, sustainable and conscientious choice than the essential oil of Atlas Cedarwood.

Our Atlas Cedarwood trees are being felled for the essential oil market faster than they can grow. Finding alternatives to Atlas Cedarwood essential oil is more important now than ever before.

One of the biggest drawbacks to using Atlas Cedar essential oil is that Vast quantities of cedar wood are required to distill a small amount of essential oil. In some cases, a small amount of fresh cedar chips can replace the essential oil, making this an excellent material for incense, potpourri, sachets, steam inhalations and perfume tinctures.

The fragrance profile of the wood chips is more complex than the distilled essential oil which is often processed under high pressure and high temperature, losing some of its more volatile and delicate aromatic components in the process.
For this reason, the chips could make a valuable perfume tincture that is richer and more distinguished than the commercial essential oil of Atlas Cedar.

The ability of the wood of this tree to retain its fragrance for years is well-known. Thus we find cedar chests and cabinets, often decades old, still retain their aroma. The chips will keep for a long period of time in the resealable pouches they came in. Just make sure to keep them out of direct sunlight in a relatively dark, dry and cool place.

When preparing loose or formed incense, the chips can easily be powdered in an electric coffee or herb grinder.

The situation is dire around the world and many of our medicinal and aromatic plants are fast disappearing.

Please Note--Our Ounces are not the 25 grams that most sellers offer, but 30 grams and all helpers in the shop have standing orders to ALWAYS put a little extra in each and every bag and NEVER less. Our regular customers have come to rely on this. So if your formula calls for an accurate amount of an aromatic material, please weigh our products before using them. You will find there is always a bit more.
