What does Cedarwood smell like?

Lemon brings a citrus freshness, while geranium adds a floral, green edge and pepper lends a light spice. Cedarwood and sandalwood form the dry woody backbone, and the fougère character leans powdery and soft. There is a synthetic side to the accords as well.

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate, though the number of votes is small, so these ratings are tentative. It reads as a clean, woody masculine scent. Its profile is close to Rabanne XS pour Homme (Eau de Toilette) and Swiss Arabian Edge for Men.
