Cedarwood Body Fraction

Original designation: Corps cèdre

Fractionated cedarwood reveals the moving anatomy of wood: bright terpenic vapour above dry grain, smoke and ambered timber. The catalogue does not establish a species, so the profile stays faithful to process and scent rather than inventing provenance.

Extraction & expression

Fractionation isolates a particular register of a larger material. Heads and terpene cuts tend toward lift; hearts focus the central identity; body and bottom cuts gather weight, shadow and less-volatile depth. A body fraction gathers the rounded central mass between volatile lift and heavy drydown.
