EDPUnisex
The Story
Cologne Cédrat is a bold, citrus-forward EDP that reimagines the classic cologne. 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 ambroxan and musk gives it surprising longevity for a citrus. It's a cologne that actually lasts.
