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:
Fall Winter

A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Casual
Also Works:
Date

Its moderate sillage and weak longevity mean it's not overpowering for office wear, but it's best suited for casual autumn days or intimate date nights where its unique woody character can be appreciated up close. It's too distinct and performance-limited for formal events or sports.

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

  • Oakmoss Evernia prunastri extract from Oakmoss

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

Blood Cedar opens with an immediate, striking hit of dry, almost sharp cedar, deepened by the smoky whisper of incense and the crisp, green bite of spruce. As it settles, the heart reveals a rich fir accord, leaning into a dense, conifer forest vibe that some find almost medicinal. The dry down is a comforting embrace of earthy vetiver and green oakmoss, leaving a persistent, though intimate, woody warmth.
