What does Dark Cedrus smell like?
Longevity and sillage are both rated good. Most voters pick spring and summer, and leisure, daily wear and the office are the occasions named most often. Masculine leads the character votes, with modern next.
The top pairs lemon, bergamot, blackcurrant, pineapple and apple for a citrusy, fruity, lightly sweet start. Moroccan rose, juniper and jasmine add a soft floral heart. The base of cedarwood, ambroxan, musk, oakmoss and leather dries down woody and smoky. Creed Aventus and Armaf Club de Nuit Intense Man have a close profile.
