What does Cèdre smell like?

Cedarwood, cinnamon and clove build a spicy, woody frame. Amber and musk sweeten and round it out, and tuberose brings a floral note. The oriental and animal accords stay in the background, leaving a warm, dense impression.

Its longevity is rated strong and its sillage good. Most voters pick fall and winter, and see it as an evening or night-out scent. Votes split almost evenly between feminine and masculine. Xerjoff Alexandria II and Serge Lutens Tubéreuse criminelle have a close profile.
