What does Cèdre smell like?

Most voters rate its longevity and sillage as good. Fall comes first, with spring and winter close behind and summer well back. It is picked for evening and night out, but daily and business wear are not far off. Votes split between masculine and feminine, so it sits comfortably on either side.

It opens with pink pepper and thyme, then moves into plum, immortelle absolute and rose at the heart, sweet and resinous in feel. The base of saffron, Australian sandalwood, vanilla and ambroxan leaves a creamy, woody warmth. Widian Sahara and Agatho Castiamanti have a close profile.
