What does Impression Cedarwood Heart smell like?

It opens with violet leaf absolute, cardamom and bergamot, which read green, spicy and bright. In the heart, orris concrete, ylang-ylang and galbanum bring out the floral, powdery and creamy side. The base of Virginia cedar, moss, patchouli and ambergris gives it a woody, slightly smoky, chypre footing, while the oriental touch stays in the background and the whole keeps a cool woodiness. Etro Paisley and Harry Lehmann Maracaibo have a close profile.
