Juniperus oxycedrus, vernacularly called Cade, cade juniper, prickly juniper, prickly cedar, or sharp
cedar, is a species of juniper, native across the Mediterranean region, growing on a variety of rocky sites
from sea level.
Cade oil is the essential oil obtained through destructive distillation of the wood of this shrub. It is a
dark, aromatic oil with a strong smoky smell which is used in some cosmetics and (traditional) skin
treatment drugs, as well as incense. The berries are used to flavor the Gin.
