Extraction process :
The chinese cedar or Chinese cypress, can reach up to 35 meters high. Its trunk diameter can reach 2 meters, making it quite imposing for a cypress. The propagation of a Chinese cypress crop can be done by cuttings but is usually done naturally because it is a rather invasive species.
In culture, the trunk is cut and crushed before its extraction. After a steam distillation, under pressure and for several hours, the essential oil is collected in an essencier by decantation of the water.

Used as a trace in woody, dry notes, in men's perfumes to give a dry and smoky effect.

Other comments :
This tree is called cedar but is actually part of the cypress family.
Chinese cedar is considered a poor quality cedar because of its smoky note. It is also one of the cheapest cedars as it contains very little cedrol.
The identification of Cedrene and Cedrol in a significative quantity in a perfume GC/MS analysis can help identify the presence of a cedarwood oil
