Cade Oil Rectified is a powerful natural fragrance material obtained from Juniperus oxycedrus and purified/rectified for professional fragrance applications. It has an intense smoky, tarry, leathery, phenolic and woody character, making it valuable for creating leather, smoky wood, tobacco, forest and rugged woody fragrance effects.
Cade Oil is an extremely high-impact material and is normally used as a specialty base-note modifier, rather than as the main body of a fragrance.

Professional Blending
Cade Oil Rectified works particularly well with:
Birch Tar Rectified • Guaiacwood • Cypriol • Cedarwood • Vetiver • Patchouli • Labdanum • Styrax • Leather Bases • Oud Materials • Amber Materials • Woody Musks
Recommended Fragrance Directions
Cade + Cedarwood + Vetiver
→ dry smoky woody accord
Cade + Cypriol + Oud materials
→ dark smoky oriental/woody direction
Cade + Labdanum + Leather Base
→ rich leather-amber accord
Cade + Patchouli + Guaiacwood
→ earthy smoky wood profile
Because Cade Oil is very powerful, start with very low levels and evaluate on blotter and in the final application.
Cade Oil vs Birch Tar Oil
| Character | Cade Oil Rectified | Birch Tar Oil Rectified |
|---|---|---|
| Main effect | Smoky, tarry, woody, phenolic | Smoky, leathery, burnt wood |
| Natural source | Juniperus oxycedrus | Birch wood/bark |
| Character | Dry, warm, resinous | Dark, smoky, leathery |
| Best use | Woody, fougere, forest, leather | Leather, tobacco, smoky wood |

Both are specialty high-impact materials, and both require attention to the applicable IFRA specifications.
Important Regulatory Note
This is particularly important for your website listing:
Do not market crude Cade Oil as a fragrance ingredient.
IFRA’s Cade Oil standard covers CAS 8013-10-3 and 90046-02-9 and states that crude Cade Oil derived by pyrolysis of the wood and twigs of Juniperus oxycedrus should not be used as a fragrance ingredient. Only rectified/purified Cade Oils complying with the applicable PAH limitations should be used.
For your Raiko product page, I recommend displaying:
RECTIFIED / PURIFIED GRADE – FOR PROFESSIONAL FRAGRANCE USE – USE IN COMPLIANCE WITH CURRENT IFRA REQUIREMENTS
Do not publish a universal dosage percentage unless you have the actual IFRA certificate for your specific Raiko Cade Oil grade, because permitted levels depend on the finished-product category and applicable specification.
Storage
Store in a tightly closed container in a cool, dry place protected from direct light and excessive heat. Commercial technical documentation recommends tightly closed storage protected from light.
Handling & Safety
For professional and industrial fragrance formulation use. Handle according to the product SDS, COA and current IFRA documentation. Avoid unnecessary contact with skin and eyes and use appropriate protective equipment.
