By the editors · 2 min readSweet Lime & Cedar opens with a clean, bright lime — softer and more candied than the typical citrus jolt — supported by basil and bay that keep things aromatic rather than confectionery. Even early on the wood is signaled.
The heart turns dry: cedar takes the lead with fennel and parsley adding a green-apothecary edge. Aromatic, slightly bitter, never sweet despite the name. The lime now reads as zest stripped to its oil rather than fruit.
Vetiver, cypress, and a touch of musk anchor the base. The overall feel is a tailored summer cologne — composed, masculine-leaning but unisex, with the linearity and modest projection typical of the house. Better in heat than in cold.
