Cedar

Cedar oil is distilled from the wood of true cedars and of American junipers sold as cedar, and it smells dry and clean, with no sweetness.

Everyday reference
It recalls opening a cedar chest where wool sweaters are stored.
Versus Sandalwood
Sandalwood is smooth and milky, while cedar is dry and sharp, closer to raw planks.
What to smell for
Notice a dry wood note that stays steady for hours and holds up the base.
