What does Cedarise smell like?

Cedarise suits the in-between seasons best: most voters pick spring and fall, with summer close behind. It is chosen for leisure, daily wear and the office, and its longevity is rated good with moderate sillage. Though unisex, most voters read it as masculine.

It opens with cardamom and black pepper over the bright resin of elemi. Geranium and violet leaf absolute bring a green heart. The base settles into patchouli, moss, Virginia cedar and vetiver, leaving it earthy and woody. Jo Malone English Oak & Hazelnut and Essential Parfums Patchouli Mania have a close profile.
