Cedre 8 (Reformulation)
EDPUnisex
The Story
Cedre 8 is a bold, smoky cedar that feels like walking through a forest after rain. The 2019 reformulation smoothed out some rough edges, making it more wearable while keeping the core character. It opens with a blast of pink pepper and grapefruit, then settles into a rich, woody heart with a touch of leather. The base is warm, resinous, and surprisingly smooth.
