The world famous and antique, perhaps thousand year-old cedars of Lebanon are finally protected by law against felling or any kind of exploitation. The tree, Cedrus Libani, grows wild in the mountains of Lebanon and in the nearby island of Cyprus. Although the wood and thereby indirectly the essential oil from this tree is one of the oldest known perfume materials, this oil is not available. Lebanon Cedarwood Oil was a yellow liquid of a strong, cedarleaf like, grassy odor.
