What does Cèdre & Oranger smell like?

The scent reads as one whole: bergamot and orange give a steady citrus freshness, cardamom adds spice, and pine needle and cedar build a green, woody base. Red berries bring a light sweetness, while musk and vetiver add a soft depth.

Voters find both longevity and sillage weak, so it stays close to the skin and keeps quiet. It leans towards daily wear, sport, leisure and the office, with very few votes for evening. It is classed as masculine. Nanadebary Green and Féraud Féraud Homme have a close profile.
