Pure Cedrat

When I bought this (unsniffed & unresearched)I expected a 'cedar' scent. Not knowing that cedrat is the french word for citron (a large bumpy citrus fruit with very thick zest and dry pulp that has a little insipid juice). It is believed that the 'apples' of the Hesperides may have been citron fruits, it is very citric and quite lovely... The citruses in this (whatever they are) are very well blended. Light and fresh, with neroli blossoms added for its soft sensuality make this a gentle citrus fragrance, rather than a zesty or juicy type of scent. The rosemary, carvi and sage add some spice, but again, this is not harsh or too warm due to the prescence of a soft jasmine (reminiscient of AdG).The drydown is composed of cardamom's smoothness and ginger's delightful aroma combined with a veryf resh patchouli and clear musk. This is an excellent citrus based scent that is quite aromatic and spicy in a sexy subtle way. All of the scents in this Pure line are exceptional, in my opinion, and it's worth owning all of them... Sillage: decent Longevity: above average Overall: 4.25/5 Released as a man's scent, this could be worn by women as well. It has a beautiful citrus blend, flowers and just the right amount of spices with a super sexy finish, anyone can wear this and it smells as good on me as it does on my Mom...

What a surprise this scent is. I love pure Vetiver by Azzaro and was a fan of that perfume but for some reason never had the pleasure of trying pure Cedrat until one day at Marshall's there was this box of pure Cedrat all torn and broken in several parts that was put together with scotch tape and looked pitiful, but the prize was US$5.99 for the 2.5 oz. and being familiar with Azzaro's pure Vetiver I could not help but take it home with me. I loved the smell the moment I first sprayed on me and has become one of my favorites. Very, very citrusy and laaaaaaaaaaasts and laaaaaaaaaasts forever. It is a little agressive maybe so I use it together with Farragamo's Tuscan Soul and the combination is perfect, Tuscan souls make it milder, more sofisticated and elegant, and pure Cedrat gives the endurance, but if you like one of them, you will like the other, and for the price I paid, this has been my best perfume purchase ever.

I wanted juicy herbal citrus and its exactly what I needed and imagined. Even better as i somewhat thought it will be "wet" lemons...soaked in some sort of potion. I used to pick up herbs in forest, dry them for preserving and drink as a tea with lemon, but rosemary and sage here are very dry and strong, you sort of able to inhale this fragrance by the whole chest, absorb it... really lovely! Totally unisex and I guess such fragrances must be in each wardrobe, as happy burst of citruses have healing properties and to me personally - a remedy in days of headache, long weeks of rains or just feeling blue.

Very uplifting citric scent without being too zesty or harsh. Very pleasant soapy feeling for the 2 to 3 hours it projects mildly to become then, a skin scent. The performance is weaker than Azzaro Pure Vetiver, which is my favorite from the PURE collection. I was lucky to buy them on their first formulation.
