Cedar Horizon For Men EDP

Which Should You Buy?
Royal Oud by Creed is a sophisticated woody scent that whispers 'old money' rather than shouting, making it a firm favourite for those who want elegance without the typical 'oud beast'. Some find it utterly captivating, while others believe its performance doesn't justify the price - you decide.
A budget take on Louis Vuitton's LV Lovers, the green-ginger woody. Cedar Horizon lands the galbanum-and-ginger opening over a sandalwood-cedar base that gives the original its supple woodiness, but where LV Lovers blossoms into something beautifully refined after the pickly start, this dupe renders the woods flatter and drier.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.
Occasions
Its refined woody and musky profile, combined with generally moderate projection, makes it highly suitable for office and formal wear. While elegant, its subtle nature means it can be dressed down for casual occasions, yet it lacks the freshness for sport.
Seasons
A green-woody scent with a fresh galbanum lift that suits spring and the cooler seasons; deep winter mutes the green and summer thins the woods.
Occasions
Clean and refined enough for the office and daily wear, with the woody depth to carry a date; sits a touch understated for formal occasions.
