Cedre

Which Should You Buy?
This EDT is a divisive beast: some rave about its fresh, creamy spice, others smell cleaning products or worse. Despite the controversy, its impressive performance for an EDT makes it a cult classic, with many finding it a sophisticated, sexy signature scent.
Cedre is a divisive beast: you'll either swoon over its unique tuberose-cedar-spice blend or recoil from its 'medicinal' opening. This is a bold, opulent scent that sparks strong opinions and isn't for the faint of heart. Expect a journey, not a straightforward cedar.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.
Occasions
Its impressive longevity and sillage, even as an EDT, make it versatile for most occasions but might be a bit much for a conservative office. The 'sexy, mysterious' vibe and creamy woods make it ideal for dates and special evenings, while its freshness allows for daytime and casual wear.
Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.
Occasions
Given its strong sillage and potent character, Cedre is best reserved for evenings and special occasions. While some find it versatile, its warmth and intensity make it less suitable for casual daytime wear or office environments.
