What does Halfeti Cedar smell like?
Its longevity is rated strong and its sillage good. Most voters pick fall and winter, and it is chosen most often for evenings and nights out. Though unisex, half of the voters find it masculine.
It opens with saffron, cardamom, peach and rum. The heart holds dried fruits, immortelle, cinnamon and Virginia cedar. The base of Atlas cedar, patchouli, tonka bean, labdanum and vanilla carries it into a sweet, resinous, earthy woodiness, with fruity and oriental accords alongside. French Avenue Inej and Avapari Pure Amber have a close profile.
