Descriptors

Cade oil (juniper tar) has an intense, dry smoky-tarry smell reminiscent of a smoldering campfire, birch tar, and creosote-soaked wood. Underneath the acrid phenolic smoke there is a resinous coniferous-wood character and a leathery, almost medicinal facet that lingers heavily on the blotter.AI · claude-opus-4-7

Appearance

Rectified Cade Oil is a clear, orange-brown to dark brown, oily liquid.

Odor

Cade Oil has an intense tar-like, smoky-phenolic odor.

Flavor

Cade Oil finds occasionally use in the flavoring of meat and seafood to which it imparts the smoke-note previously obtained in a regular smokehouse.

Uses in perfumery

Its use in perfumery is limited to situations where a smoky-leathery, woody-phenolic, dry and warm note is called for: forest notes, leather-bases, fougeres, pine for men’s fragrances, etc.

Production

Cade Oil is obtained by rectification (steam distillation or vacuum distillation) of the crude juniper tar oil.

IFRA restrictions

Prohibition · with specification

The pure material is prohibited as a fragrance ingredient, but supplier material meeting the documented specification below is permitted. Verify against the supplier COA / IFRA certificate before use.

“Prohibition: Crude cade oil derived by pyrolysis of the wood and twigs of Juniperus oxycedrus L. should not be used as a fragrance ingredient for any finished product application. Only rectified (purified) cade oils being in compliance with the limitations for polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) established by this should be used. — Specification: Limit content of polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) resulting from the use of rectified oils according to Good Manufacturing Practice. Benzopyrene and 1,2-Benzanthracene are to be used as markers for PAH. If used alone or in combination with rectified Birch tar oils, rectified Opoponax oil or rectified Styrax oil, the total concentration of both of the markers should not exceed 1 ppb in the final product.”
