Noble Cedar

I was going through Marshall's today and I noticed Noble Cedar. I knew the name Chopard, but I wasn't sure of the aroma for Noble Cedar. I figured that it would have a definite cedar aroma to it !! I decided to make a blind purchase and I have to agree with everyone that without a doubt there is Vetiver in this fragrance.. it's so predominant 100% sure it is!!! After it settled I found it being slightly floral at first with a definite woodsy/spicy bit to it. I'm not able to detect the birch note but I can certainly smell sage, labdanum resin and cedar. This frag to me has a very sharp/smokey aroma that carries well through the day and I have to say that it makes for a surprising, interesting frag for the evening !! I say this because there are several fragrances that have similar notes which are well recognized brands and cost far more. To me thats a compliment to Chopard. longevity is excellent, well past 8hrs Sillage, you can easily pick up this frag well after you've passed someone yet it isn't heavy. Overall thoughts, At first, I thought it wasn't worth it. After a while and it had settled that's when I was able to pick up the warm spicy/woodsy qualities with a very manly aroma to it. I find that it does last for awhile and that is a good sign of a good frag instead of a frag that fades after a couple of hours. For sure this is a fall/winter and early spring frag, I wore it today and several women gave me complimented me so who's to say you can't wear it during the summer. Even the bottle takes on a very interesting chiseIed design which gives this frag an appearance of high quality. I give this frag two thumbs up in my book...10/10 EXCELLENT !!!!!!!!

The bottle is absolutely fantastic, it exudes class, here metal is metal with plastic only on the inside, but... we don't wear the bottle, do we? Well, I can't be objective about this frag. When I was a kid, my father would use a perfume called Cedarwood. From Yves Rocher I think, but may be mistaken. Maybe from Coty or something. Anyway, these brands - cheap in the West - in communist Poland were synonymous to absolute luxury. And so the cedar smell became in my ten-or-something-year-old nose and mind THE sophisticated man perfume... Chopard is much more complex than that. The cedar note is definite here, maybe even dominant at times, but it is in good company. As said above, I can't be objective, but the frag is definitely very, very good. Has good sillage and has brought me some compliments from ladies that don't usually comment on how someone smells, as well as from strangers. I also asked some female friends (and my Mum as well) for an honest opinion on this and they all said it was great. I use it for colder seasons and some evenings - but not family meetings, as I gave a bottle to my Dad for his birthday and I don't want to smell the same. :) But don't be afraid. It's not an "old man's" perfume. Get it, while it's cheap. You can easily have it at 30$ or less, it's a bargain!

@ronnie1975 You are not alone with this one.it's one classy fragrance.the notes are so well blended none really shouts out.sillage is moderate and it does last. Ideal for cold days and evenings and for formal events or dates.But of cos it can do for work. the best part for me is this is so underrated and that is a bonus.Again,I bought it so cheap. I do prefer this to Noble Vetiver which really disappointed me and I almost dismissed the Chopard line till I blind bought this and now am in LoVe,Again...!One of the creamiest woody dry-downs I have ever smelled.You do not deserve a sense of smell if you find this offensive-even when abused.Go figure The notes listed here are incomplete.The full note breakdown are listed below Top Notes Birch Leaf, Spicy Notes Middle Notes Clary Sage, Cedar Wood Base Notes Rock Rose(labdanum), Vetiver, Incense

@Frankom...this is called Noble Cedar for a reason.It has more of a woody base and richer,more refined overall feel than Noble Vetiver which well,by name has more vetiver in than in this one. You are entitled to prefer this to Noble Vetiver but you are wrong in thinking this should be renamed.Original Vetiver has same vibe as Mugler Cologne.both have the same clean,soapy feel that is missing here.not sure what dirty note you are referring to. Any fragrance that has vetiver in the name should appropriately have that note in abundance to fit the name.Noble Cedar has very little of that note to qualify for that.What you get here is what ronnie1975 rightly put.

very classy.cedar, birch and labdarum, love it so much. the bottle is heavy glass en heavy metal cap very well done, looks expensive, also the juice i high quality top 10 masterpiece
