Cologne Cédrat (2017 Original)
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 lasts. The heart is a clean, floral blend of neroli and petitgrain, while the base of musk and cedar gives it surprising longevity for a citrus. It's a modern take on a timeless style.
