Cologne Cédrat (2020 Limited Edition)
EDPUnisex
The Story
Cologne Cédrat is a bold, citrus-forward EDP that reimagines the classic cologne. Aurélien Guichard uses a massive dose of hand-pressed Corsican cedrat, giving it a sharp, zesty opening. The heart is a clean, floral blend of neroli and petitgrain, while the base stays fresh with a touch of ambrette and musk. It's a modern take on a timeless style, with surprising longevity for a citrus.
