Mineral Cedar

I agree that lovely is the right word for this. It shocked me just how soft, warm, and cozy it smells after the initial spiciness calms down– I was expecting the mineral and aquatic notes to be much saltier and colder. Instead they offer just a hint of toughness to an otherwise downright snuggly perfume. It's perfect for a rainy day. The only reason it's not a "love" for me is because I don't particularly want to smell snuggly and soft. I love to smell it, but not sure I'd want to smell *like* it. I imagine the candle version would be heavenly. Edit: Turns out that, now that it's fall, I do very much want to smell like this. It's such a soft, comforting scent for the cooler weather. It's powdery, not like makeup or talcum but like sandalwood and spices can sometimes be. I find that quality really love on cold days. Second edit: I ended up receiving a 10ml travel spray of this from a very generous Fragrantican. I don't know if it's just a different batch, but I'm finding the powderiness and spiciness stronger than I remembered. It almost reminds me of Gris Charnel, which hovers between beautiful and cloying for me. This is definitely one that needs the right mood and weather to shine.

Someone described this as “lovely,” and I can’t think of a better single word for this fragrance. It’s subtly sweet. It’s woody. It’s sharp for a second. It softens. It’s probably the safest fragrance from Scents of Wood that I’ve smelled—I’m up to 10 samples now. Juniper berries, guaiac wood, and tonka beans are my favorite notes. Mineral Cedar just HITS. I find myself burying my nose in my wrist and inhaling until I can’t anymore. It’s beautiful. I bought a travel size almost immediately after trying my sample. I’d recommend it to anyone who likes a softer wood fragrance. Update: it’s been about six weeks, and I think I’ve used about a third of my 10mL. I now have a FB on the way. Also, I don’t understand how anyone could compare this to a saffron fragrance. There isn’t a hint of saffron in this. Ebony in Oak, on the other hand, has a beautiful saffron note.

I’ve had this fragrance for a few months now and my impression of it is similar to what others have said. It’s a smooth woody fragrance, very gentle on the nose. On the opening I get the woods and the lavender which blend together well, that lasts into the dry down but the sandalwood and tonka shines through in the dry down. Gives me about 3 hours of decent projection but becomes a skin scent around 4 hours and lasts 8 total. Good projection and very easy to wear. This has now been discontinued and I’m so glad I got a bottle before they discontinued it. 9/10

Fantastic woody fragrance! The opening is very refresing with juniper, cypress and bergamot being the main palyers The drydown has this warm rich, dry and woody character, smelling like a carpenters workshop. If you love woody fragrances, you need this in your collection!

Very beautiful lavender scent. I am starting to realize however, that this is a bit of a high-end dupes company like Boadicea is. This is a blatant copy of Tom Daxon's Midnight Saffron. Still gorgeous, and FB worthy.
