What does Blood Cedar (Eau de Parfum) smell like?

It opens with frankincense and spruce, then Virginia cedar and Siberian fir absolute build the woody heart. Cypress, absinthe wormwood and pine form the base. Spicy and earthy touches add depth without softening the cool, crisp feel.

Longevity and sillage are moderate. Most voters pick fall, followed by spring, and it suits daily wear, leisure and the office best. Most voters read it as masculine, though it works as unisex. Comme des Garçons Series 3: Incense - Kyoto and Hinoki have a close profile.
