Cédrat Céruse

When I first sprayed this, my heart stopped for a bit, I fell so completely and immediately in love. If a man wore this, I would swoon before him. Full disclosure....I adore lemon. Annick Goutal’s Hadrien is my first and greatest romance. Plus, there’s a woodiness, that humus element consistent in the Potager line, and the anise freshness of the fennel. Oh, it is heady and divine! It makes me think of a Cynar and tonic with lime on a summer evening. Or, some Xtabentun. Yes! Xtabentun, with the honey! Oooh, it’s sweet and mossy and sparkling and smoky, all at once! O.K., I’ve fallen hard.

This is an immediate love for me. I almost never jump in to make comments after just trying a sample on the first day. But this is unique, refreshing, delightful and I can't imagine changing my mind. I will say that I will probably keep refreshing it often because it's really the first hour that is magical. after that on me, it is not that noticeable or as special. But if these notes sound good to you, hurry to get a sample of this. It is very memorable.

Agree with skoopy skooperton. A kooky fragrance indeed. Truly photorealistic fennel all the way through. Crisp and crunchy with salted lemon, and so masterfully crafted. The dry-down unfolds as a soft, marginally milky, soapy fennel fade. It gives the impression of zero artificiality, just pure natural fennel oils. If you’re into salad making, market hopping, gardening, or just want to embody a fennel every so often, you might love Cedrat Ceruse.

Beautiful and unique scent. All of the above mentioned notes are present, however one note that my husband noticed in the opening is a slight hint of vanilla and I agree. The dry down is lovely and happy to have found a fresh lemony scent that does not smell like anything else! Fennel, so creative.

Fresh, clean, bright, anise. I get excellent sillage and all day longevity as it dries down to an enveloping, fresh laundry style white musk. It’s rare to find something that’s both highly unique and highly wearable, but this one checks both boxes.
