Blue Cedrat

I just tried this new arrival in el corte ingles in spain and it is definitely an very enigmatic scent. Lasted about 4 hours on my skin but with quite weak projection. A bit similar in drydown to Lalique Encre Noir but more "metallic" and stronger than the Lalique. It really is a very unique aroma, I might make this my long searched for replacement to Gucci PH1 as it is a fragrance that is "unlike fragrance"..... ....but need to spray quite liberally to get any noticeable effect Given the strength is a bit low I guess also this could be used as an intimate neck aroma for sexual activity. It isn't masculine or feminine; so is a mysterious option for both partners Further note: I finally found all the CdG perfums in one place at Liberty in Regent Street. I tried all them on and this one is just so unique I can't stop sniffing it. It is the longest lasting of all their fragrances and smells so utterly wierd (in a good way) I can't help but recommend it as a blind buy. It has great longevity too - although discreet. Ha! Couldn't resist. Just ordered it via Escentual, 100ml. Have to wait 48hours though....

It feels mostly green fragrance,i feel angelica the most, which probably blended with juniper. Lemon can be difficult to notice, at least for me.Lemon is noticeable the most in opening.If there any cedar, then only in background. Seriously, i don't feel any woodiness at all

pleasant combination for cedre lovers , rose notes added some powdery effects which made the whole mix unique discreet and elegant . It reminds me of l'ombre dans l'eau from dyptique even i didn't smell it often

is it it similar to l'ombre dans l'eau ?? someone said no !!

Blue Cedrat is probably the most commercial delivery in the Blue Series (or whatever they call it) and, admittedly, I was ready to dismiss it and bash it right after my first test on paper because of the strongly generic opening. Fortunately, knowing that Comme Des Garcons is not new to tricky fragrances, I decided to give it a second chance by grabbing a sample...and I'm (partially) glad I did. A full wearing revealed a simple yet quite evolving fragrance. The opening still strikes as extremely generic in its somewhat trite iteration of the woody-citrus accord but the composition quickly opened to a *majestic* angelica accord that felt almost astringent in its incredibly green nuances while a subtle rose oxyde note, provided the usual metallic facets of many CDGs. In this phase Blue Cedrat was very earthy, refreshing, dry and incredibly radiant but, something else was just about to happen... A smooth, dry, woody-incensey note makes its appearance and joined by a massive vetiver base slowly takes over to give birth to what can be considered the real essence of Blue Cedrat. This is actually when I began questioning the fragrance again... On one side, I loved that the fragrance had three distinct phases that alternated theirselves so smoothly and naturally generating quite some pathos. On the other hand, I'm getting a bit tired of dry woods. I've to say though, that no less than 3-4 years ago, I would have probably went completely head over heels for whatever fragrance playing a similar theme. Today, as a matter of fact, this is probably my least favorite in the new *Blue* trio but, at the same time, it's far from being unremarkable especially when it comes to the quality/price ratio. If one's into dry woods, green fragrances and vetiver, this is something worth checking out. No doubts. This is what I expected from Amazingreen but it probably would have been more appropriately labelled as Nicegreen. I believe this is going to be the real *hit* as far as commercial potential.
