Lou de Pre Dark Cedrus is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2025.

Another Aventus-inspired fragrance enters the ring, and while it's softer than some, prepare for the inevitable comparisons. If you love that fruity-fresh profile, you won't be disappointed, but don't expect groundbreaking originality.

About

Opens with a bright, juicy explosion of pineapple and blackcurrant, lifted by zesty bergamot and lemon. As it settles, a clean, slightly spicy juniper note emerges, softened by a delicate rose. The base grounds everything with a smooth leather and an earthy cedar-oakmoss duo, bolstered by modern ambroxan for lingering appeal. It's a fresh, fruity fragrance with a subtly masculine, woody-leathery backbone.
