Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

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 Fall Winter
Also Works:
Summer

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

Best Occasions

Best For:
Casual
Also Works:
Office Date

Its moderate longevity and sillage mean it won't overwhelm in an office, while its unique woody-green character lends itself well to casual wear. It's too distinctive and potentially divisive for very formal settings, but its clean freshness can work for daytime dates.

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.

Declarable under EU Annex III

  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk

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

An intriguing woody-green creation, Cedarise opens with a distinctive green and sweet profile, often described as syrupy or even fruity. This unexpected sweetness settles, giving way to a prominent cedar heart, supported by the fresh, almost vegetal presence of cypress and vetiver. The dry-down reveals a smooth, musky woodiness, retaining a touch of its initial sweetness.
