What does Reserved Black Cedar smell like?

Cardamom, coriander and citrus fruits give the start a lightly spiced freshness. In the heart, lavender, artemisia and jasmine add a green, aromatic feel. The base of styrax, moss and fir balsam pulls the scent toward smoky wood while leaving a soft sweetness behind.

Longevity and sillage are both rated good. Most voters pick spring and fall, and it suits leisure, office and evening wear alike. Close to half of voters read it as masculine. Nishane Papilefiko and L'Erbolario Assenzio have a close profile.
