Botanical name :
Cupressus funebris Endl.
Synonyms : Callitropsis funebris (Endl.) de Laub. & Husby // Chamaecyparis funebris (Endl.) Franco
Botanical profile :
Chinese cedarwood belong to the Cupressaceae family and the genus Cupressus L.
Chemotypes :
The genus Cupressus L. includes several other plants used in perfumery:
Cupressus funebris L.: Cedarwood China oil / Cedarwood China leaf oil.
Cupressus nootkatensis L.: Cedarwood Alaska oil / Cedarwood Alaska twig oil.
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.
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
Stability :
The terpenes identified in this raw material can polymerize when they are oxidized
