Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Super Cedar EDP
Super Cedar is a divisive beast: an airy, clean, woody whisper for some, a vanishing act for others. Love its subtle, modern woodiness or dismiss it as too faint - either way, its astronomical price tag remains a sticking point.
Favourite
Our Verdict - Great Timber EDP
Perfume Parlour's affordable interpretation of Super Cedar by Byredo - a woody fragrance led by Rose, with floral depth. As a budget interpretation it sits lighter and more linear than the designer, but the core signature is there.

Season and Occasion Fit

Super Cedar

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer Autumn
Also Works:
Winter

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual Sport
Also Works:
Date

Given its intimate sillage and clean, inoffensive woody-musk profile, Super Cedar is perfectly suited for office wear, casual outings, and even light sport. Its lack of projection and formal complexity make it less ideal for dates or formal events, where a more impactful scent might be preferred.

Great Timber

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter

The woody character is happiest in autumn and winter - cooler air gives the warmth room to bloom; the dupe's lighter build means it can struggle to project in the opposite season.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Office Casual

Its woody, floral signature leans toward evening and daily wear - approachable enough for formal use without overwhelming a room.
