LabSolue presents its olfactory celebration of Cedar Fruit.

A quintessential Italian scent. Native to Southeast Asia, since the 3rd century B.C. the Cedar Tree, Citrus Medica, has prospered in Italy. Today it is mainly cultivated in Calabria, in the coastal strip called "Riviera dei Cedri". The zest is very rough and exceptionally thick, it constitutes up to 70% of the fruit and is cold pressed to extract the Essential Oil. It is considered the progenitor of all citrus species: Lemon, Orange, Bitter Orange, Bergamot, Grapefruit. A praise to the citrus olfactive family, a portrait of sun-kissed fruits framed by their blossoming flowers and green foliage.

An Essence of Italian Cedrat, with Italian Yellow Mandarin, Neroli, notes of Amber and Leather.

Curiosity: the name Cedar derives from the vulgarization of the Latin term Citrus. Not to be confused with the famous Cedar of Lebanon, which is not a citrus but a conifer , well known to have supplied wood for boat construction in the ancient world.
