The Story
Cologne Cédrat is a bold, citrus-forward fragrance that reimagines the classic cologne with a modern twist. Aurélien Guichard uses a massive dose of cedrat (a Mediterranean citrus) to create a bright, zesty opening that feels both fresh and sophisticated. The heart adds a touch of floral sweetness, while the base of cedar and musk gives it surprising longevity for a citrus scent. It's a cologne that doesn't fade away in an hour.
