Cedre Sacre

I received a sample set at the presence of the owner of the company. I'm sniffing my way through Cèdre Sacré, Party, Dangereuse and Testostérone, and happily so. Cèdre Sacré's name gives a promise of thick layer of woods, warmth, and balminess. However I was completely ambushed by the citrusy opening which may also include some lavender. The sentific journey goes on and soon arrives in a more woody destination, more like what I'd initially expected. 10 minutes into wearing CS, I noticed a pleasant link to Chanel Allure Homme Edition Blanche which is known for its resemblance to the smell of a vanilla lemon pie. Cèdre Sacré therefore is a winner for me. It's citrusy and later becomes mossy and woody, and I wouldn't be surprised if there was also a tiny drop of patch and cinnamon in the mix. Rather than offering a quick fix, Cèdre Sacré will challenge you to slowly discover the woodiness beneath the sharper notes: The drydown is fresh and woodiness is guaranteed.

A simplistic, sharp and mainstream cedarwood-driven concoction with boatloas of generic citruses and synth oudy aromachemicals floating all over the place. Too little, too late. Meh. Rating: 5/10

Simple citrus, mild woody, and common cedar. Nothing more and nothing less. I begun to think of sintifique as a commercial brand cause I don't sense any quality nor new creation.
