Creed Bois de Cedrat is an Eau de Toilette launched in 1875, created by Henry Creed Third Generation. Bois de Cedrat opens with Lemon, settles into a heart of Mandarin, and dries down to a base of Cedar and Ambergris. Creed's Bois de Cedrat carries a Favourite verdict, a fresh-led wear.

A beautiful citrus-cedar blend that's universally loved for its quality, but its abysmal longevity is a constant heartbreak. If you can get past its fleeting nature, it's a genuine treasure.

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.

Its intimate sillage and weak longevity make it ideal for close-quarters like the office or casual settings where it won't overpower. The fresh, clean citrus and wood notes are widely appreciated across various casual and professional environments.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

In standard patch-test panels

  • Citral Geranial from Lemon

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Opens with a bright, uplifting burst of sharp Sicilian lemon and juicy Calabrian mandarin, like a zesty, sweet citrus lolly. This vibrant freshness then gracefully mellows, allowing a natural, dry cedar note to emerge, adding an elegant woody depth. A subtle ambergris rounds out the base, providing a hint of sophisticated warmth that whispers rather than shouts.
