Новая Заря (The New Dawn) Кадетский (Kadetskiy) No. 1 is a Cologne launched in 2012. Кадетский (Kadetskiy) No. 1 opens with Citrus, Bergamot, and Rose, settles into a heart of Cedar and Patchouli, and dries down to a base of Dark Chocolate, Musk, and Amber. Новая Заря (The New Dawn)'s Кадетский (Kadetskiy) No. 1 carries a Statement verdict, a woody-led wear.

A truly elusive beast, Kadetskiy No. 1 is a cult favourite that's near-impossible to find. If you can get your hands on it, you're in for a dark, rich, chocolatey patchouli, though it won't be for everyone.

Scent Profile

Composition

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.

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

  • Geraniol from Rose

Other declarable allergens

  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot
  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot
  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot
  • 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

Kadetskiy No. 1 kicks off with a fleeting zest of citrus and bergamot, quickly joined by a subtle whisper of rose. The heart settles into a robust, earthy blend of cedar and patchouli, creating a grounded, woody core. As it dries, a decadent dark chocolate note emerges, softened by warm amber and a clean musk, leaving a deep and sophisticated trail.
