Decent cedar and iris

The opening of Cèdre & Iris Soyeux is such a nice surprise: flour-y woods with a touch of camphor and red berry fruitiness which recalls quite well the nuances that I perceive in Atlas cedar and Virginia cedar essential oils.

Initially, I can't really discern the iris. But as the cedar gradually mellows, the rooty woody nuance of iris becomes more apparent, but never overwhelms the whole composition. The flour-y wood of cedar eventually leaves its place to the clean iris, with just a tiny bit of slightly balsamic violet lipstick, quite subtle and elegant as a skin scent.

The sillage is initially moderate, but quickly drops close to the skin. The longevity is around 7 hours on me.

Although it might not be as striking as other more expensive iris or cedar fragrances, Cèdre & Iris Soyeux is very decent at this price point. Moreover, I find that it showcases certains aspects of cedar quite well. If you happen to be looking for an affordable, elegant and comfortable woody iris fragrance, I'd definitely recommend giving it a try.

The Refinement of the Noble

Candied orange in sugar water? It starts off powerfully sweet, before a rough, nutty (vetiver!) undertone quickly provides relief. The abundant sweetness is likely primarily due to the tonka bean mentioned on the manufacturer's website. Only very slowly does a powdery-carrot-like iris manage to make its presence known. In the meantime, I smile at a distant cola note; I think there's some combination of tobacco and sweet smoke behind it, which briefly reminds me of Malbrum's Bengal Tiger, before a strong dose of cream finishes the picture. A fine cream: not too sweet, well-ventilated, leaning more towards wood than iris, since the latter is known to be on a carrot-powdery trail. A hint of bitterness has also remained in the blend, that kind of bitter-sweetness that would have led me to guess myrrh instead of incense - and which fits with the cola thought from above.

But the star is the wood, so the name of the fragrance points in the right direction. The catch is: If it's possible to enhance synthetic wood with the addition of iris, it should work even better with natural wood. And indeed, the refinement of the noble delivers a respectable result.

Unfortunately, this good impression is slightly clouded late in the morning by a slight plastic note. It's a shame, as the powdery iris theme may have been a bit overdone. It also seems to me that vanilla is in play today, and in natural fragrances, it tends to have such an impact - which in this case also clarifies that the active scent progression is over. And indeed, not much happens after noon. The additions to the (skin)-creamy-woody foundation, primarily smoke and a certain tobacco bitterness for my part, are at best mere accompaniments.

Conclusion: Refinement of the noble or not - I find the fragrance merely quite nice, but it doesn't blow me away. Gradually, I have the feeling that the brand overall is a bit cream-heavy.

I thank Bellemorte for the sample.

A Delicate Hint of Orange-Cinnamon

During my visit to the drugstore, I irritably wandered through the perfume department: an entire floor full of variations of the same old thing. Everything felt too bright, too monotonous today. I went down to the basement, to the natural cosmetics section. There, too, I tested my way through the offerings. This, in turn, seemed more like a textbook on aromatherapy: unbalanced citrus clouds and seemingly randomly mixed grass notes with a therapeutic undertone.
Then I spotted on a shelf some very unassuming, simply packaged flacons in brown cardboard: 100 Bon. To find out what was inside, you have to read. The flacon doesn't jump out at you with a "Buy me!" in your face. I picked up the tester and was delighted: wonderfully delicate aromas, perfectly balanced.
Today, I took home "Cèdre & Iris Soyeux," which means "silky cedar and iris." This describes the scent very accurately.
After a quickly fading orange opening, I experience an illusion of cinnamon, finely powdered. But a very subtle orange aroma remains - more a longing than something that is actually there. Not a zesty orange, no. More like the scent of long-dried orange peels that you rub between your fingers. Over time, the woody-powdery base note gains strength, but it lasts a very long time. A scent just for me alone, and only when I want it, so weak is the projection.
For me, the ideal fragrance when everything feels overwhelming and I can't stand any other perfume.
This will surely not be the only 100Bon, because: "Ça sent bon!".

Silkwood

Cèdre & Iris Soyeux is part of a sample pack from the French manufacturer 100Bon.
100Bon is, according to the information on their website, the first French manufacturer of perfumes based on purely natural ingredients. They do not conduct animal testing, and the bottles are at least partially refillable.
The name of the company can be read as 'good scent'.

Cèdre & Iris Soyeux starts off very green and fresh, with Vetiver being quite prominent in the first few minutes. Then comes a scent reminiscent of freshly crushed cypress branches, and the woodiness is pleasantly present yet understated.

After half an hour, a powdery note emerges, softening the woodiness. Occasionally, something fresh and green flashes through, but I can't definitively say if that still comes from the Vetiver.

Overall, Cèdre & Iris Soyeux becomes soft, warm, woody with a hint of sweetness over the next hour, and I think more of sandalwood than the cedars indicated in the pyramid.

After about an hour and a half, the wood is slowly overwhelmed by the sweetness of tonka.

I quite like Cèdre & Soyeux as a wood scent; however, I think the use of tonka bean could have been more restrained for my taste. The fragrance is ideal for spring-like and also autumnal temperatures, the projection is subtle, and the longevity is about five hours.
