## About
Before you sit to meditate, a drop in the diffuser, and the quiet fills with something sweet and old. Taiwan incense cedar smells as sweet as sandalwood, with the depth of agarwood and perhaps a hint of amber, a scent that is hard to put into words.It is steam-distilled from the wood of wildcrafted Calocedrus formosana, said to be the most prized aromatic grown in Taiwan and known there as a national treasure. The wood itself is golden and smooth, often made into furniture, and its sawdust is sold for incense because of its sweet fragrance. Sometimes called Taiwan sandalwood, its scent lasts much longer than sandalwood's, equaling agarwood in its long dry-down.DetailsBotanical name: Calocedrus macrolepis Kurz var. formosana (Calocedrus formosana)Origin: Taiwan, wildcraftedMethod: steam-distilled from the woodAlso called: Taiwan sandalwoodHow to useMeditation is its traditional use.
