What does Cèdre Secret smell like?
Its longevity and sillage are moderate: it neither dominates nor fades quickly. Most voters pick spring and autumn, with winter and summer further behind. It leans towards leisure, work and daily wear, and less towards evenings or nights out. Though unisex, most voters read it as feminine.
Orange blossom opens, cedarwood sits at the heart, and tonka bean forms the base. The floral opening is balanced by the dry, woody character of the cedar, while the tonka sweetens it and leaves a creamy, powdery softness. A spicy touch lingers in the background. Lubin epidOr and AllSaints Sunset Riot have a close profile.
