Cedrol is a sesquiterpene alcohol found in the essential oil of conifers (cedar oil), especially in the genera Cupressus (cypress) and Juniperus (juniper). It has also been identified in Origanum onites, a plant related to oregano.^[3] Its main uses are in the chemistry of aroma compounds.^[4] It makes up about 19% of cedarwood oil Texas and 15.8% of cedarwood oil Virginia.^[5]

Cedrol has toxic and possibly carcinogenic properties.^[6] Results of a 2015 study suggest that cedrol strongly attracts pregnant female mosquitoes after they have fed, which can be used to create cedrol-baited traps.^[7]
