Adulterated with an unlabelled carrier oil, weak scent
This oil is adulterated with an unlabelled carrier oil. Cedarwood essential oil is a bit more difficult to judge with the paper test as it is naturally a heavier oil that takes more time to evaporate. However, when a drop of true cedarwood essential oil is placed on piece of white paper, it gradually fades, but retains a lingering scent. This oil smelled noticeably weak to begin with and left a persistent greasy spot consistent with adulteration with a carrier oil. I have found evidence of this with all of the Sun Essential Oils I have tried, so I would recommend avoiding them entirely. I would suggest considering NOW essential oils instead.
