Cologne Cédrat (2018 Reformulation)
EDPUnisex
The Story
Cologne Cédrat is a bold, long-lasting take on the classic cologne. Aurélien Guichard uses a massive dose of cedrat (a Mediterranean citrus) from his family's farm in Calabria, giving it a zesty, slightly bitter edge. The heart is a clean, floral lavender, and the base is a warm, woody ambroxan that keeps it modern. This is a citrus that actually lasts.
