By the editors · 2 min readCedar provides an immediate dry, pencil-shaving woodiness that serves as both top note and structural backbone for the entire composition. Neroli soon emerges with its bitter orange and floral character, adding a bright, slightly soapy contrast to the earthy, rooty vetiver at the heart, which grounds the scent with its green and aromatic qualities. The base introduces the sweet, coumarin-rich warmth of tonka bean, which blends seamlessly with the clean, skin-like musk to create a soft and comforting dry-down. This is a relatively linear scent that maintains its green-woody character throughout, with the neroli adding a fleeting citrus-floral lift before fading. Projection is intimate from the start, staying close to the skin with minimal sillage, and longevity lasts around four to five hours. Ideal for casual, everyday wear in spring or summer, particularly in warm conditions.
