cedarwood himalaya, cedarwood atlas

[Guest guest]

I have recently been working with cedarwood himlaya and ced. atlas. Usually

cedarwood virginia gets better and more smooth with age, though I find that the

above two do not have a good shelf life. I have a vintage ced. virg. that is

over 100 years old and it is still amazing. Then I have two big bottles of ced.

him+atlas and when I opened them yesterday after a while of not having used

them, there was hardly any scent coming from the bottles.

What I did, I left them standing open for a while, so that the air could

evaporate and after an hour, there was more scent to it again, but still not

like when I bought them. Would it be better to store them where there is less

air in the bottles? Any experience with storage and with those 2 cedarwoods?

Thank you,

Tanja
