Matière Première Cedrat is a Cologne launched in 2019, created by Aurélien Guichard. Cedrat opens with Bergamot, settles into a heart of Pepper and Pink Pepper, and dries down to a base of Mate. Matière Première's Cedrat carries a Favourite verdict, a green-led wear.

Cedrat is a surprisingly divisive freshie for its simple composition. Expect a vibrant, natural citrus and a subtle, green warmth underneath. Just don't expect it to hang about all day.

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.

Declarable under EU Annex III

  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot

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

Cedrat opens with a gorgeous, zesty burst of bergamot and bright citron, smelling incredibly natural and uplifting. This vibrant citrus is swiftly joined by a kick of black and pink pepper, adding a fresh, spicy edge that prevents it from becoming overly sweet. As it settles, a smooth, aromatic mate note emerges, bringing an earthy-green, almost tea-like warmth that grounds the composition. It's clean, refined, and surprisingly elegant for a fresh scent.
