Légendes du Cèdre

Mysterious sweet woody fragrance, fresh and modern in the opening but unfortunately dries down to an all predictable oud, which I am not a fan. Because of the dry down it leans more masculine.

On my skin this opens with a burst of cedar that eventually settles and gives room for the other notes to breathe. Soon it becomes a patchouli forward fragrance co-starring cedar (a woody patchouli if you like). As it dries down the labdanum and nutmeg become more prominent but on me it's still patchouli all the way. I really enjoy how this wears and while I don't agree that it smells cheap, I do agree that it's nothing particularly daring. Just a really nice and inoffensive all-day-wear fragrance for colder weather. I probably won't purchase a full bottle because there are better woody patchouli fragrances out there that don't cost $300AUD.

Nice perfume which came as a gift from significant other, all the way from R.S.A. This is woody nectar projecting monster which ganners compliements. This is one of those scents i go nose blind with after a few minutes, but trust me it's there for detection. This is a formal/slick casual scent which will compliment dresscode artication. Overall rating: 8/10

The top note is coconut which no one mentioned, has the Creed virgin island water DNA and is a bit close to one Jennifer Lopez

Honestly not much to say with this one, other than it is essentially a spicier, more woody and less sweet take on Penhaligon’s Halfeti. That’s actually it, this would be good for anyone that wants a less clean and soapy version of Halfeti. It’s not bad by any means, just nothing new.
