    Putting moth balls in an old cedar chest seems kind of redundant, heheh. Naphtha does evaporate, so you might try just a little time and air movement. Might try putting a small fan right inside the cedar chest and let it sit a few days.

    After a couple of days, you can try lightly sanding the entire interior surface of the chest too. This should also rejuvenate the "cedar" smell too. Good luck with that. I don't know this will absolutely work, never had to deal with that before.
