Reserved Black Cedar

Zimaya Reserved Black Cedar is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2024. Reserved Black Cedar opens with Citrus and Cardamom, settles into a heart of Lavender and Jasmine, and dries down to a base of Oakmoss, Fir Resin, and Styrax. Zimaya's Reserved Black Cedar carries a Favourite verdict, a mossy-led wear.

This is a seriously underappreciated gem, punching well above its weight. It's a dark, woody aromatic that's both elegant and sensual, with a nuanced sweetness that makes it surprisingly versatile. Don't let the price fool you; this is a sophisticated wear.

About

Reserved Black Cedar opens with a zesty burst of citrus and a spicy kick of cardamom, quickly settling into a sophisticated heart of aromatic lavender and delicate jasmine. The drydown reveals its true character: a rich, earthy blend of oakmoss and fir resin, deepened by styrax, creating a dark, woody, and slightly balsamic warmth. There's a subtle, almost creamy sweetness that weaves through the darker notes, preventing it from ever becoming too stark or austere.
