What does Le Cèdre smell like?

It opens with black pepper, incense and pink pepper, giving a dry, spicy start. In the heart, mimosa and black orchid keep the floral side soft, and the base settles into Virginia cedar and cashmere wood with musk. The overall impression is fresh and clean, with a slightly synthetic sheen over the wood.

Longevity and sillage are moderate. Most voters pick spring and fall, and daily wear, office and leisure lead while evening and night out trail behind. It leans masculine in votes, though a good share call it feminine, so it sits somewhere in between. Salvatore Ferragamo E Pur Si Muove and Esprit Just Cotton have a close profile.
