Our verdict on Cedre: Acquired

Cedre is a divisive beast: you'll either swoon over its unique tuberose-cedar-spice blend or recoil from its 'medicinal' opening. This is a bold, opulent scent that sparks strong opinions and isn't for the faint of heart. Expect a journey, not a straightforward cedar.

About

Cedre opens with a strong, almost camphorous tuberose leading the charge, draped in warm, inviting cinnamon and clove. As it settles, creamy white florals emerge, underpinned by a deep, resinous cedar. Musk and amber then weave in a sweet, animalic warmth, creating a complex, evolving fragrance that shifts from bold floral to a rich, spiced wood.
