What's good for treating western red cedar?

I know it lasts well, but for the external surfaces I'd like to help it
along a bit. I'd prefer something that sinks in and leaves the surface
looking like wood, rather than paint or varnish.

The inner surfaces of the windowframes I want to leave as bare cedar for
the smell and the look.

I'd apply a few coats of used chip frying oil. I know there are
fancier preparations but none of them have the same distinctive (and
short lived) aroma.
