Clean crisp woods
‘Cedrus’ is another fragrance from ‘Atelier des Fleurs’ by Chloe - and like the rest of the line it’s subtle and very personal for the creator Quentin Bisch; a childhood memory of a bouquet of branches given by his father to his mother.
The fragrance opens with a green fougere accord - there are fresh herbs, fresh green leaves and a fine spicy note - before the more milky powdery side becomes more prominent. The slightly spicy character remains - not spice in a culinary sense but rather like freshly cut flower stems or branches where you can still smell the sap. There’s a certain crispiness about it; like an early morning walk along the edge of a forest, where lush meadows meet the first shrubs of the woods.
To me there is also an aldehydic note - becoming especially strong after a few hours - clean, light and soapy but without being synthetic. This ‘Cedrus’ has in common with another superb Bisch creation - ‘Bois Imperial’ for Essential Parfums.
Starting as a fougere scent ‘Cedrus’ morphs into a soft woody one - that change is done very skilfully and feels very organic, just like a freshly cut bouquet would subtly change over time.
As with other ‘Atelier des Fleurs’ fragrances the projection is moderate - so it’s best suited for someone wearing perfumes as a personal experience. The longevity is surprisingly decent - even after an entire day I can still smell the base notes; albeit faded there’s that clean powdery aldehydic scent.
It’s a gentle fragrance - I wouldn’t classify it as either particularly masculine or feminine but rather a mood scent that puts me at ease and reminds me of the simple joys in life.
