Cedre

Discreet is the perfect adjective for this. If you're not looking for a sillage monster, and are drawn to warm woody scents, definitely check this one out. It's just such a pleasant and soft blend, nothing in this blend competes for dominance, each notes plays together beautifully, complementing one another perfectly. One of the better offerings from 06130!

Cedre is a quiet pleasure to wear and to smell on skin. I usually gravitate to more dramatic fragrances (Amouage, Montale, SL), which makes Cedre an oddity, and a treasure, in my collection. I wear it when I want something calming and naturally sensual. It's a fragrance that you can inhabit, and which becomes part of your own scent.

Parfums 06130 CEDRE is a lovely, subtle woody fragrance with the lightest touch of spices and a slight sweetness imparted apparently by either tonka or vanilla, though neither is listed as a note. To my nose, CEDRE is a quasi-linear composition, with no significant development, for the fleeting violet/ever-so-lightly citrus opening gives way nearly immediately to a warm woody drydown. CEDRE is typical of similarly priced, high-quality fragrances produced by a number of niche houses, whose aim appears to be to offer creations that will please those with discriminating noses rather than producing revolutionary, unmistakeable perfumes that occupy a distinctive, unique node on the olfactory Ur-sphere map. An entirely natural-smelling composition, CEDRE is a pleasure to smell, no more and no less. Not a profound statement, just a high-quality warm woody perfume.

This smells quite a bit like Avon's original Skin-So-Soft oil. It's a very nice smell. A billion Avon customers for a half a century can't be wrong. It's soapy, androgynous, and something any person could live in and be comforted by.

smells mildly soapy, woody and a tad bit spicy. very low silage, like a whisper on your skin. this reminds me of fall and flannels and crackling fires. quite a romantic juice. quietly sexy.
