Byredo Super Cedar is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2016, created by Jérôme Epinette. Super Cedar opens with Rose, settles into a heart of Cedar, and dries down to a base of Musk and Vetiver. Byredo's Super Cedar carries a Favourite verdict, a woody-led wear.

Super Cedar is a divisive beast: an airy, clean, woody whisper for some, a vanishing act for others. Love its subtle, modern woodiness or dismiss it as too faint - either way, its astronomical price tag remains a sticking point.

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer Fall
Also Works:
Winter

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

Best Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual Sport
Also Works:
Date

Given its intimate sillage and clean, inoffensive woody-musk profile, Super Cedar is perfectly suited for office wear, casual outings, and even light sport. Its lack of projection and formal complexity make it less ideal for dates or formal events, where a more impactful scent might be preferred.

About

Super Cedar opens with a fleeting, dewy hint of rose before the star of the show, Virginian Cedar, takes centre stage. This isn't a harsh, sappy wood; it's a dry, clean, almost freshly planed timber scent. As it settles, a soft, creamy musk emerges, harmonising with an earthy vetiver to create a sophisticated, minimalist aroma that feels effortlessly chic and comforting.
