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.

@Nochoi: As far as I know, not in the EU, but I wouldn't bet my life on it for other countries.
