Cade is used widely in perfume industry, especially in men's fragrances and the food industry giving foods a smoky flavor. Veterinary practitioners use the oil for parasitic skin problems. Creosol is a constituent in cade. In Greek, the word cresote means "flesh-saving" which refers to the powerful antiseptic action it has on the skin.
