Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - III EDP
This one's a proper head-scratcher. Some love its unique woody-mint-leather vibe, hailing it as sophisticated and smooth. Others find it harsh and synthetic, a chemical mess. It's a divisive beast, so sample before you commit.

Our Verdict - Cedrus Intense EDP
A truly polarising beast - some call it sophisticated and ethereal, others liken it to cleaning products or worse. Expect woods, greens, and a hefty dose of sandalwood, but be warned: this 'Intense' flanker is anything but a safe blind buy.

Season and Occasion Fit

III

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer Autumn

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

Occasions

Best For:
Date
Also Works:
Casual Formal

While some find it versatile enough for daily wear, the pronounced woody and leather accords, coupled with its potential for good longevity and projection mentioned by some reviewers, suggest it's best reserved for evening or special occasions. Its unique character might be too distracting for a typical office environment.

Seasons

Spring Autumn
Also Works:
Summer

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

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Office Casual

Its moderate to strong projection and woody-ambery depth make it suitable for dates and formal occasions, offering an alluring presence without being overly loud. While some find it office-friendly due to its clean aspects, its intensity and richer notes mean it's best applied sparingly to avoid overwhelming colleagues. Its warm, complex character isn't a match for sporty activities.
