Cedrat Intense

Class in a bottle, what else can I say... Citrus perfumes don't get any better than to this: luminous, refreshing and radiant, with enough going on in the base (creamy woods, pepper and a generous amount of oakmoss) to counter the sparkling top with some depth and a hint of bitterness. It's an understated fragrance, and incredibly versatile. Can be worn to the office as well as on a night out or after a work-out. You'll be a beacon of good taste where ever you go! Long lasting for a citrus fragrance, it puts a smile on my face all day long.......

At spray, this is so nice: a lovely citrus with peppery sharpness, showing that Nicolaï genius for blending aromas. It reminds me significantly of Terre d'Hermès - a citrus top note expertly darkened with companion notes to make it something yet more than just an essential oil - but with that citron (cédrat) note instead of TdH's grapefruit-orange notes. The problem is that the longevity is not there. At 4 hours, this is nearly indiscernible on my skin. I don't have much use for fragrances that flash off this quickly. I can't justify spending money on them when other citrus-forward options (like TdH) will happily carry me through a whole day. EDIT: On wearing this again on a Texas visit, I feel like it lasts a bit better than I thought. While performance is still too modest for me to consider this a daily driver, I really like the peppery cédrat, which makes for a bold, casual, summery impression. It's a nice scent for a warm half-day or when re-application is not a big deal. Upgrading my rating one notch.

i'm surprised by how much i like this; citrus usually reminds me (painfully) of an ex-boyfriend who loved to cook. everything had at least a squeeze of lime, lemon, or orange, including his cologne (habit rouge by guerlain, dryad by papillon, camel by zoologist...). this could be a citrus to call my own. it is intimate and light on me, something like getting a passing sniff of warm, oily orange madelines a baker's unloading into a box for another customer. the little red-and-white twisted string on top is the pink pepper in this fragrance, which charms me with how femininely edible it is. but just because you can eat something doesn't mean you should. i like cedrat intense for its distance and yellow smallness — a tower of lemons slowly tumbling out the grocery store, the wedge you discard after draining it into your tea, a square of sun you sit in, but can't catch.

On Patricia Nicolai's webpage this fragrance is listed as "for men". I could not find it under the "for women" section, and the notes are the same as listed here on Fragranctica... Also the place I ordered it sold it as a "for men" fragrance. Anyways this is a very pleasant scent. Fresh and peppery with a woody/patchouli base. Good for every occasion. Could be labeled as unisex. The ingredients are the highest quality! Recommended!

Starts out really citrucy and you get the smell of cedar tree that spicy-resinous scent that reminds me of Mediterranean.I believe that it blends wonderful with leather and can be used daily.Refreshing!
