History: Originating in the Atlas Mountains in North Africa, in
former times, linen chests were frequently crafted from Cedar to keep moths
out. The ancient Egyptians prized this oil, mostly for embalming purposes, but
also for cosmetics and perfumery, and Solomon's Temple was built with Cedar
Wood. Today, closet liners and accessories are frequently crafted from Cedar
Wood.
