Wood Miracle

Wood Miracle opens with a juicy burst of Sicilian lemon and dark, almost jammy blackcurrant, lifted by bergamot and a spicy glint, that vibrant, mass-pleasing entrance Cedrat Boise is famous for. The heart turns earthy as patchouli takes hold, with a watery jasmine softening the edges. The drydown is smooth and woody, leather and cedar-like woods threaded with oakmoss, vanilla and white musk, giving the citrus a resonant base. Against Mancera's Cedrat Boise, this clone keeps the bright-citrus-to-woody arc intact but renders the base thinner and the blend a touch more synthetic, losing some of the original's depth and resonance. Cedrat Boise is a beast-mode projector; the dupe steps it down dramatically to moderate projection and a few hours of bright citrus-woods before settling skin-close. As an affordable, versatile, compliment-friendly unisex scent for warmer days and the office, it captures the fresh-woody spirit well.
