The Big Bad Cedar

Atkinsons The Big Bad Cedar is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2016. The Big Bad Cedar opens with Broom, Sage, and Cardamom, settles into a heart of Cedar, and dries down to a base of Cashmeran and Oakmoss. Atkinsons's The Big Bad Cedar carries an Acquired verdict, a woody-led wear.

This one's a proper love-it-or-hate-it affair, polarizing opinions like few others. If you're after an authentic, unapologetic cedar, Big Bad Cedar delivers in spades, but some find its performance frustratingly elusive.

About

Imagine stepping into a dense, ancient forest; Big Bad Cedar captures that earthy reality. It opens with an intriguing blend of broom and sage, subtly spiced with cardamom, drawing you into a heart of pure, unadulterated Virginia cedar. The dry-down settles into a comforting, musky warmth of cashmeran and a lingering mossy depth, evoking the very ground beneath the venerable trees.
