aromatic wood
Fragrant timber planks
Aromatic wood is wood that releases a distinctive fragrance, either naturally or when cut, burned, or heated.
Cedar, sandalwood, and juniper are common examples.
Aromatic woods are prized for closets and chests (where the scent repels moths), incense, and decorative uses: The cabin was built of aromatic cedar.
