Cedrus Intense

Cedrus is a very nice fragrance, Cedrus Intense is signature worthy. From the moment I sprayed it on I could tell it has a lot more depth than the original Cedrus. It's warmer, woodier and more complex, a little greener and wetter, not nearly as airy and dry as the original. It's more fun. It also lasts a lot longer and projects more strongly. The long term dry-down is very coniferous. I can't sense any leather in this but the sandalwood is a lot more pronounced and there are very clear amber notes. It's still a wonderful, relatively fresh and clean office fragrance, but should not be oversprayed since I can see it giving some people headaches. I didn't even spray it on my clothes but a day later the smell can still be clearly felt from the tshirt I wore.

I have the original Cedrus (obsessed, wear it often) and I wanted to try this after seeing it at an airport. It's stunning. It reminds me of Santal 33. This lasts forever and honestly I don't really think it smells that much like the original (light, citrusy, mineral-y, clean); I get woods, amber, vetiver and leather most of all in this. It would absolutely deserve a place in my collection but I've already planned on purchasing Orpheon by Diptyque (I'm a sucker for the juniper note) and this would be very similar, and it's quite a bit more expensive than Diptyque. It's beautiful and 10/10; honestly this entire Atelier des Fleurs line did not disappoint.

Also, on what planet does this smell anything like Guidance??? EDIT ***ok ok a few hours later in the dry down I do get it, though I would say it reminds me more of Guidance 46. Very creamy sweet amber sandalwood base. As much as I love OG Guidance this comparison is ruining Cedrus Intense for me so will need to test longer before jumping on that FB. I hate Impadia and that kind of ruined 46 for me a bit as that sickly sweetness is comparable and I find it nauseating. Anyway, Cedrus Intense does not start as it means to go on. The opening and the dry down are quite different. This has been a wild ride.

So I LOVE the OG Cedrus.. but unfortunately it lasted maybe an hour on my skin and projection was super weak. But this! The intense.. it’s not as fresh as the OG but it’s sexier! I don’t smell the bergamot.. but I do pick up on rose slightly it goes really well with the leather. You get the same woody vibes in intense as you do in the OG. Over all I sold my OG and bought this and I am loving it! Lastly I find it to be a more suitable fragrance for cooler temperatures. I find if it’s hot out it tends to remind me of musky BO. So it’ll be in my cool temp rotation!

I have never liked woody, spicy, smokey scents but this has really blown my mind. It's not gormaund yet it's somehow delicious and I can't get enough of it. Its warm, spicy, woody, mature, slightly green. It makes me think of sitting by a crackling campfire with the feeling of the burn when drinking strong whiskey. None of it an appealing image to me yet somehow it still works. Edit: the longevity is insane i can still smell it after 24hrs

To me (and on my skin), Cedrus Intense is giving ethereal woodland/fairyland vibes and I love it. It's green, lush, and woody with a mystical hint of citrus. It feels sophisticated and elegant while also feeling grounded and earthy. It's inviting and alluring but also edgy in it's own right. It projects without being overbearing. Very on brand for Chloe and a stunning addition to my collection.

This is very nice. I can understand why some use Guidance as a reference but thank goodness, it isn’t a dupe. Guidance OG and I do not get along. Tho there aren’t any sweet notes, I find this to have a tiny bit of sweetness. This is a spa like fragrance. It’s Likable and inoffensive but if you don’t like woody/green, you may want to sample first

Beautiful, soft woody scent. Unisex. Dry down is reminiscent of Diptyque's Orpheon. I agree that it's different enough from the original Cedrus. If you're a woman who enjoys woody scents that aren't too masculine or barbershop, this is a beautiful evening-appropriate fragrance. Quite sexy too, mature but not stuffy

Wow, not at all what I was expecting and I love it! I saw woods and QB and thought it would be in the realm of Ganymeade but it's not. Something in the bright opening made me instantly think of childhood summers and southern hemisphere summer Christmas. Instant love. Getting a full bottle!

I like it a lot and I would definitely prefer this one over the original version. But I have to admit that it smells quite similar to all other recent releases by Quentin Bisch: beautiful clean and slightly spicy woods with radiant earthy (sort of ethereal) sillage 😈

Creamier and sweet version of the OG Cedrus. I love both. Extremely. When I want to a heavier, more complex version of Cedrus, I reach for this one. Usually when I know I'll be in a colder environment or during the evenings. Dries down to a very creamy sandalwood.

This is a bulk CHLOE review - quick note for myself on the 3 fragrance samples I had high hopes this summer: Plage du Figuier Vanilla Planafolia Cedrus /Cedrus Intense All of them are in the "nice" category, but none of them make me want to actually buy them.

This is a balanced blend of soft woods and greenness. Even if the notes show many woody notes, they don't really overpower anything; it's well-blended. It's clean, fresh, soft, definitely woody (at drydown) and reminds me of the color code #e6ffdc.

pretty versatile in my opinion, the opening is citrusy, almost smells like gin - dark greenish. in the dry down i can almost feel the caramel, but all in all the perfume keeps a stingy, pine-like profile. very refreshing!

This is gorgeous ! Woody and calming. I am not sure about longevity... I would love to purchase it but I question whether it’s worth it ... I am more into beast mode perfumes It remind me of Chanel Sycamore

The drydown of this is a more palatable guidance by amouage. I cant get on board with guidance but this one i like. Same perfumer too.

top notch quality and crazy sillage and projection “BISCH” is quality

love this one as said before very woody and calming

Testing Cedrus Intense from a 1.2 ml Chloe official sample. Citrusy, green, fresh in the opening and warm, ambery sandalwood in the dry down. The opening is truly beautiful in the way that smells so zesty and uplifting, but it settles down into a very pleasant, likeable creamy, warm blend of sandalwood and cedar. I’m getting a slightly pickled undertone from this scent, but not in an overwhelming, unpleasant way. The fragrance smells absolutely amazing throughout all stages of development on skin, but it’s not a scent DNA that I would want to wear often enough to justify purchasing a bottle! It’s one of those perfumes where I can appreciate the craftsmanship that went into creating it, without having the urge to buy a bottle. It’s a very nicely done one, buttery sandalwood forward fragrance with a fresh spicy greenness lurking in the background until the scent disappears from skin. Has a moderate to long lasting presence on skin with noticeable sillage for the first hour. I assume that applied on clothing Cedrus Intense would perform better, like most scents do. Comfortably unisex, I would wear it! Gives me outdoorsy vibes, like walking in a forest or hiking on a mountain with lush vegetation!

This is a very fresh-woody fragrance. It smells fresh and slightly creamy woody (sandalwood) at the beginning it turns into a leathery rose but the rose here is not not sweet( I think fragrantica’s notes is missing the rose) at last it’s not a dirty leather its a very very clean leather like other Chloe fragrances they all have a clean DNA but not as soapy as other Chloe. I think I prefer the OG edp more it suits the concept of atelier de Fleurs more , more airy and clean it’s more versatile too. Not a bad release but the og is just too good
