Which Should You Buy?
This one is a divisive whisper, not a shout. Some adore its fresh, natural elegance, a genuine basil-forward surprise. Others find it fleeting, a generic green that simply doesn't live up to its Hermès name. Test before you commit, unless you're a devout fan of herbal subtlety.
Cedrat is a surprisingly divisive freshie for its simple composition. Expect a vibrant, natural citrus and a subtle, green warmth underneath. Just don't expect it to hang about all day.
