Cèdre
EDPUnisex
The Story
Cèdre is a bold, uncompromising cedar fragrance that strips away sweetness to reveal the raw, aromatic heart of the wood. It opens with a sharp, green burst of juniper and elemi, then settles into a dry, almost smoky cedar with a hint of iris for a subtle floral lift. This is a scent for those who love the smell of a freshly sharpened pencil or a walk through a cedar forest after rain.
