What does Cedar Atlas smell like?

It opens with grapefruit, cardamom and pepper, a citrusy, spicy freshness. Jasmine, Bulgarian rose and violet leaf bring a soft floral and green heart. In the base, cedar, patchouli and leather come forward, and the scent settles into a resinous, leathery woodiness.

Longevity is good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick spring and fall, and it sits easily in daily wear and at the office. Voters read it as more masculine, though as a unisex it suits anyone. Jardin de France Dur à Cuir and Armand Basi Wild Forest have a close profile.
