A tree with a majestic bearing that defies time, present in many traditions. Located in the Moroccan Atlas mountains, close to the Cedar of Lebanon, its wood is rot-proof: it is a symbol of immortality. It offers us a precious essential oil, with warm, woody and slightly lemony aromas.

Our opinion
This tree is part of the Abietaceae family (pines, firs...) but is nevertheless clearly different, keeping its timeless message in the heart of its trunk. Find it in the guide "Aromathérapie, corps et âme" by André Bitsas.
