What does Accord No. 04: Cedar smell like?

Its longevity is rated good and its sillage moderate, so it makes itself known without filling a room. Most voters pick autumn, with winter and spring close behind and summer trailing. It is placed mostly in leisure and business settings. More voters read it as masculine, though a fair number find it feminine.

The scent stays in one piece: two kinds of cedar form a woody backbone, while juniper berry and lavender add a green, resinous freshness. Ginger brings spice, bergamot adds brightness, and false sandalwood softens the wood. The overall feel is dry, clean and timber-like.
