Blue Cedar & Cypress

Ok, sorry, but this will be long lol. I got this for my husband recently as a small birthday gift with some other things. When I looked up ones he has liked in the past, I really thought he would love this one. He likes how it smells out of the bottle, and I personally went nuts smelling it on him, omg. I just hugged and hugged and sniffed him like a creepy maniac LOL (he totally doesn't mind that lol). BUT honestly, he only wears it for me, because he just wasn't really loving it. I get mostly Lemon/Lemon Leaf/medicinal/herbal, and cedar on him. I love that about it though. It's just a hint of sweetness to it as well. But, that lemon leaf and sweetness I think is what turned him off as he felt it was too feminine. Maybe that's why I love it lol. However, I told him if he wasn't into it, that it was ok, I'd wear it myself if he felt it leaned femme, and I'd find him something a bit less unisex. It's almost like to him it smells more feminine and to me it smells more masculine. But when he wears it, I totally smell it as very masculine. To his nose it's feminine. When I tried it on, I smelled it still a bit masculine though it was definitely turning more feminine as it dried, and he smelled it as even more feminine on me then, but it smelled totally different though. Super bergamot-ish on me. I was really expecting it to still smell masculine on myself though and thought I may regret spraying it on myself before work after already showering lol and instead it smells just like C.O. Bigelow's Lemon Leaf on me! I love Lemon Leaf by Bigelow but it's staying power is ridiculously low for the price, more like a splash, so I haven't bought it since my previous experience trying it. This is such a perfect and MUCH, MUCH, MUCH longer lasting frag dupe for that one for me. When I let him smell it on me, it had the same affect on him that when he wore it, it had on me! LOL It seems to be one of those pheromonic odd ball frags that the wearer may not "get it" but the smeller sure does! It's like magic- smells like an entirely different fragrance on each of us, and we each experience it on each other very differently. So, this ended up on my side of the dresser, but he promised to wear it for me during those intimate moments lol. I think he is ok with the drydown, but not sure he is a fan of the opening (due to the lemon leaf). But on me, that opening lasts the ENTIRE time. It's staying power and sillage is outrageous. One spray of this in the bedroom and you can smell it all over the house. Some may think that is over powering, and that's understandable to those who have sensitive noses, but my nose is a bit stubborn. I love frags that I can smell from afar. That's what we pay for, right?! Anyways, fellas, if you can get by that opening, it's seriously divine to my lady nose. I'm sure it is to others as well. This is not a shy frag either as most Cremo's aren't. But it's the kind of fragrance that I can't imagine anyone would ever be offended by. It's bright and fresh and just the right amount of woody, even herbal though it's not listed. Definitely doesn't have the "shower gel" or "shaving cream" smell that most cheaper frags marketed to men do. It's not the classic vintage barber shop fragrance. It smells super nichy, and more expensive than it is, and performs like a beast. I hate that it didn't become my husbands fav, or one of them because I'd love for him to enjoy it. But god, I sure do. Not just saying that because I bought it either, as it's very affordable so it's not like it's a big deal lol I truly LOVE this on him, just not his thing. But that's ok, because we both love it on me LOL.

Good practical, inexpensive scent to smell great. Cremo is a brand I really like for their personal care products and inexpensive fragrances. Blue Cedar and Cypress seems to be one of their flagship fragrances, as they have it available as a body wash, deodorant, solid cologne, and EDT. And for good reason. It has a top of lemony freshness but also woodsy depth with the cypress and cedar wood. Worth noting is that the notes on the box aren't necessarily comprehensive -- Cremo has a video on their official Youtube talking about the fragrance, and they mention lavender being in the mid, but it's not listed on the box. I work a sort of warehouse/maintenance job in an office building, so I often bounce between the more professional setting and a more manual labor setting. This fragrance feels great for both, a balance between woodsy masculinity and appealing freshness. I also like to wear this casually when I'm out being active, like at the gym. I went to a swing dance class just tonight, and showered to get nice and clean with the body wash and deodorant beforehand. Gave the EDT three sprays before leaving. Was rotating between partners, and the third time around one of them (a cute blonde at that) said, "Whatever cologne you're wearing, it smells AMAZING." What more can a guy ask for when he puts on a cologne? To me it makes the $22 price tag for a full 100 mL worth it. One final word about longevity -- yeah, it's not a champ. It's hard to detect after a few hours. But, that's where the solid cologne comes in. It's less expensive than the EDT, and easy to stash in a backpack, pocket, or glove compartment. Rub a little bit on and boom, you're back in fragrance business. I dunno, I just get some satisfaction out of coordinating things like that. Anyways, my point of this all is that it's a nice, flexible, fresh and woodsy fragrance that will get you compliments. Can't go wrong for the $22 price point. And coming from a personal care brand, it has a lot of matching products you can supplement it with. Gets a thumbs up from me.

Just got this fragrance as a Christmas gift from a friend at church and dang, it's really good. Cremo aren't easily available in Canada for whatever reason but this friend is from the USA and travels frequently between Montreal and Lancaster, PA because she lives here but her family is there. She has gotten me, to date, Spice & Black Vanllla, Palo Santo, Bourbon Vanilla (which is the worst one, really seems so close to Bourbon & Oak but a bit sweeter) and now Blue Cedar & Cypress. She also got her husband who isn't into fragrances, Silver Water & Birch and I was able to make a decant from his bottle. I managed to find Bourbon & Oak for a good price on Canadian Amazon, so now I have 5 total plus a decant. Out of the 5.5 that I've tried, this ranks high. I like it much more than Bourbon Vanilla, Palo Santo and Silver Water & Birch. For me, it's slightly behind Spice & Black Vanilla but slightly better than Bourbon & Oak. If you've smelled Atkinson's The Big Bad Cedar and enjoyed it, you'll love this one. It's very close to the Atkinson's but a bit sharper and a tad spicier. It smells amazing and so much more expensive than it costs. I haven't tested the performance yet but if it's anything like to other Cremo's I've got, it'll be lasting a pretty long time. Very happy to add this one to my collection.

I haven't been this excited about a new fragrance since Ombré Leather from the House Tom Ford last year. I first heard about Cremo back in 2012 when I purchased one of their premium shaving creams. I thought it was smooth and well executed back then. That trend has continued with their exploration into the fragrance market. This stuff smells of pure masculinity. Cedar smoke and cypress earth. You can't go wrong and Cremo certainly doesn't. I can imagine this going very well at a holiday party in the cooler months and being damn right sexy on a risky summer night. Very versatile. It will put age on younger guys and youth on older ones. And for this price point, you CANNOT lose. In fact, it's a steal. I would not be surprised if this stuff jumps up to the $50 bottle tier in a couple years. Get your bottles at this price while they last. Performance has been decent in the first hour, but I just put it on at the end of the work day to see how it smells. More on that later. For now, its amazing. Think log cabins in backwoods Montana, or an elegant gentleman sipping single malt in a casual suit. With Blue Cedar & Cypress, this house has made a very humble statement about who they are and what they are doing. Hidden gem.

I suppose I'll be the first review! I believe there will be many more to come: this stuff is pretty special. It started with the body wash; easy to find, cheap, and great smelling. Then I went to Target and grabbed the edc: at $23, I couldn't afford NOT to buy it! I'm wearing it now, much to the delight of my wife and strangers I encounter while buying beer. It's a fresh-spicy in every sense, and very linear: you won't be jotting down notes 7 hours after application on this one. HOWEVER, it does fresh-spicy extremely well. It's well-blended, fairly natural smelling, and has good projection and longevity. It's like if you took Creed's Viking, compressed it down to the 3 freshest and most obvious notes, bottled it, and called it a day. And that's not a bad thing! To my nose, this is a very classic cologne, but with some modern charm. I'm 24 and wearing it during a warm TX spring, but it's a great scent for all ages, and from spring through fall. I highly recommend picking up a bottle, because it might surprise you.

The performance on this was better than expected. Initially I thought it wasn't too hot, but after further testing I did find it to last a good amount of time on fabrics. For the price this is pretty amazing. The smell was very similar to polo by ralph lauren (original green bottle), mixed with their cologne intense version. It just has this dark smokey, minty fresh smell that is basically the love child of those 2 scents, i would say. The smokey/woody isn't as intense as the original polo, which is a win because I don't like polo for that reason and it lacks the freshness of cologne intense. Polo Cologne intense is a lighter version of Cremos Blue Cedar and Cypress - if you have performance issues with this cologne I'd look into that as it's got this uber fresh just showered and brushed teeth vibe to it without the heavier smokey/woodsy stuff in either Cremos BCC or Original Polo.

I wish I was a guy so I could pull this off better because it smells incredible. I already rock some men’s fragrances easily but this one just smells too much like a man for me to feel like myself when I wear it? I’m gonna give it a few wears regardless and see if I can get more comfortable with it. It’s pretty linear in the air and on clothes (and fills up a room when you spray it) but the second it hits my skin I get this gorgeous sappy pine note that smells really realistic. I grew up in a house surrounded by woods and I spent a lot of time outside. This reminds me of being a kid and just indiscriminately ripping pine needles off of trees, picking up pinecones, etc. and smelling my hands after. This fragrance makes me really happy and I cannot believe I only payed $12 for it.

This is a great fragrance, nice and woodsy. It smells like a niche quality fragrance that's way more expensive than it is. I wore this and I swear to God, I got the unsolicited attention of two hot blonde MILFs on two completely separate occasions. One said "something smells good" and I said oh it's my cologne, she said you smell amazing and gave me the F*CK me eyes. The other occasion was my neighbor, she grabbed, hugged, held and sniffed me like I was a snack. 😂 I can only imagine what would have happened if I had any game but sadly I don't. ☹️ Like none. No other fragrance in my arsenal has gotten me that kind of attention from women.

Wore this today at work and I must say that this stuff ain't bad!!! I purposely sprayed heavy because I'm a truck driver and I work alone so the chance of me offending anyone are minimal. But this does leave a nice trail because my coworker complimented on this fragrance as I was changing my load so the sillage of this stuff was pumping 2.5 hours after I applied it. All in all this fragrance lasted 8+ hours to my surprise 😳. Great work fragrance especially for me because in my line of work most truckers don't wear fragrance!! But I believe that just because I'm a trucker doesn't mean I have to smell like one.

Well, I was shocked at the fragrance. I thought for $12 at TJ Maxx, what can I expect? Well, this is very, very good. It may not be beast mode, but it's sure a darn good fragrance for the money. If Percival is like this, exactly like this; then I'll gladly spend $150 on Percival. This stuff here is just so good, such a well blended fragrance. It makes you feel good all over! If you see it at TJ Maxx, BUY IT. Just buy it and do thank me later! Best $12 spent on a fragrance including Halston Z-14, which the opening of Cremo reminds me of in the vintage Halston.

I was a little on the fence at first, but this is a "love" for me now. I think a few weeks of maceration has really helped this fragrance. It's not a complex scent obviously, but it seems more smooth/blended now. I love woody scents, and this is great for that purpose. It feels reliable and versatile, and very masculine. I think its a great scent for all seasons, fresh enough for summer but it has enough depth to work in colder weather (I would assume, haven't worn it in the cold yet).

Fantastic for the price your paying, better quality than average 100 dollar fragrances, great sprayer, solid cap, nice and simple bottle and a really, really nice woody dry down for the spring and fall. Best trait about this fragrance is that it is still projecting off of my skin after 12 hours, from my experience. Either I have unique taste or most people don’t have very good noses because this fragrance smells really good to me.

While the name would imply a very woody fragrance, the scent to me is closer to that of a classic shave cream. A green lemon is present in the opening, however after the first 10-15 minutes it essentially disappears. The remainder of the fragrance is that of a woody, aromatic, minty barbershop type scent. I suppose the “minty” facet is due to the cypress. Performance is 4-5 hrs. 8/10 for me 😊

In the opening it kinda reminds of some hospital grade hand sanitizer, like those hand sanitizers that can sting your nose if you take a big ol whiff. Once it dries down this note goes away but you can still smell a hint of it. While its performance and sillage isn't remarkable it's still good for 19ish dollars. It also (for me) can smell like diluted lemon water.

I bought this one and Bourbon & Oak. Cedar and Cypress is my favorite of both. You get this almost sweet wood smell that mixes perfectly with the skin. Its a very sexy scent for almost all mature audience. This can perfectly compete with a $50-$100 usd fragrance. Myself, owning Le Labo, Aventus, and other similar ones, consider this fragrance top quality.

Upon consistent wears, the powerful sillage of citrus/cedar lasts about 30 minutes, then it becomes a skin scent for the majority of the wear, which lasts about 4 hours on my skin. This is definitely something you will need to reapply through out its wear, but worth it since the scent is very nice. Also noticing a classic barbershop vibe here as well.

One dimensional but oh so fresh and spicey. It has a nice clean scent that my lady loves. Longevity is about 5 hours, sillage is average. Price is right! You can’t go wrong with this as a blind buy. Match with the body wash for a nuclear blast of a citrus forest. EDIT: Smells like a jr high boy's first fragrance. Hard pass.

Has a sharp, sparkling zesty opening in the beginning that is quite refreshing. Someone below described it as almost having a medicinal like quality which I tend to agree, although not necessarily in a bad way. You will smell intensely clean wearing this.

This is a light, woody smell. The first cologne I ever purchased! VERY cedar. The opening isn't great, smells a bit like alcohol, but with good performance I can endure a couple minutes of a bad opening for hours of that drydown.

Too good for its price! Excellent. Masculine but not too mature smelling. An early spring hike or summer forest smells. ...I’d love to see Cremo do a smokier spin on this for winter and a more floral version for spring.
