Morphology

cedar-scented = cedar + scented (transparent) = cedar + scent + ed

Formed by combining 'cedar' and the adjective 'scented' (itself scent + -ed), so the meaning is directly the smell of cedar.

Etymology

Cedar-scented starts with cedar, a tree whose wood gives a warm, pleasant 'smell', and adds scent meaning 'smell'. People put cedar in closets to keep moths away, so cedar-scented means having that warm, wood-like smell of cedar.
