What does Cèdre Bleu / Blue Cedar smell like?

The top notes are pink pepper, mandarin orange and thyme, giving a fresh, green and slightly fruity start. Clove, cardamom and nutmeg in the heart push it towards spice. White musk, teakwood and cedarwood in the base settle into a clean, woody finish.

Longevity and sillage are rated moderate. Most voters pick spring, summer and fall, with few choosing winter. Leisure, daily wear and the office are the occasions it leans towards. Voters mostly see it as masculine, followed by modern and classic. Delisea Kay and Isotta Fraschini Tipo 8B have a close profile.
