Rounded Wood Aromatics with Fresh Leather Note
Comparatively often, I come across fragrances from houses that are completely unknown to me while browsing. Then I reach for my glasses and my phone, and of course, Parfumo is the first choice for initial information.
Here on Parfumo, only three fragrance notes are listed, but this and a quick skim through reviews and statements were enough to make a blind buy.
A strong scent, but the three notes are probably not everything.
The top notes include Indian pepper, grapefruit, and cardamom, the heart notes are violet leaf, Egyptian jasmine, and Bulgarian rose, and the base notes consist of Atlas cedar, leather, and Indonesian patchouli leaf.
This allows for a bit more to work with.

The sharp, tickling pepper, the slightly camphoraceous or eucalyptus-like cardamom, and the zesty grapefruit are well noticeable at the beginning, although the grapefruit, as is unfortunately usual, quickly fades away.
However, the floral-tinged, namesake cedar breaks through immediately, with the flowers - from my perspective and for my nose fortunately - staying in the background. The rather dry - sometimes almost dusty - spicy cedar is softened and mellowed by this.

The thus rounded wood aromatics feature a leather note that has a consistently masculine aura for my nose and additionally lends the fragrance a touch of freshness. Thus, Cedar Atlas is suitable for numerous occasions such as the office and social events as well as for leisure, sports, and going out. This may also apply to all seasons, but that still needs to be tested.
For a date, the scent seems a bit too distant and not sensual enough for me personally, but that is always a matter of taste.
This blind buy has definitely been worth it!

The unusually slender cylindrical bottle for a masculine fragrance appears simple yet classic, which is enhanced by the slightly decorated, quite heavy cap.

Deep from the Soul (of the Forest)
This fragrance was an unnamed addition to a sample order, and I have fallen in love with this beauty.
I breathe it in deeply, all the way to my soul. This scent often seems to speak from the soul. It is like the deep, rich, damp, and fragrant forest. Spicy, green, and calm.
Fortunately for me - underhyped.

The Green Sea
Green shimmering sharpness settles on the tongue, while a hesperidic breeze
gently brushes the face with a refreshing touch. The sour-juicy breeze sweeps through coniferous pine woods, causing trunks and branches to tremble, until the scent of needles descends to the forest floor. The nostrils quiver as they sense the approaching darkness of the woods.
Step by step forward, softly cushioned on the damp, soft mossy ground, whose mist hovers ghost-like between the leather-clad tree trunks.
Softly, cardamom rains down from the sky, as if camphor trees stood among the cedars, already finely distilled in ethereal spice lakes. Just a small leap, and the body - or is it the spirit - is immersed in the deep dark green sea of moss, shrub greens, bundles of needles, with a log drifting by here and there. Body and spirit drift along, gliding in harmony through the sea of cedars.
The lingering twilight is too dark for flowers and blossoms, which appear only like a mirage, nonexistent and unreal, in the ground mist. No scent escapes from them; they shimmer ghost-like before the eye, only to vanish again, airless and scentless.
Sharp needles in the earthy, clammy forest floor make walking difficult, disappearing under a carpet of warm dark suede, as if one continued to walk over the soft, rich moss. Seamless velvetiness in nose-pleasing harmony leads ever deeper into the sea of the forest, until there is tranquility within.
Bitter, how bitter this walk tastes, and yet so soothingly green and pleasantly dark, that the nose wanders for a long time on velvety earthy scent paths, lined with leather-clad cedars, cushioned with moss and caressed by balsamic-woody breezes, while the spirit has long since found rest in fern-woven dreams.

Warmer scent for warm days
And once again, a fragrance brand that I had never heard of before. But thanks to a lovely perfumer who sent me a sample of the scent, I too get to enjoy this fragrance, allowing me to once again plague you with one of my never-ending comments :D

This time it’s about a woody scent, more specifically, cedarwood, which has a very distinctive scent and smells good in many fragrances (provided the scent is well made and you like it, and so on...). Well, let’s see how this one is.

What do you smell?
The fragrance starts with both citrus notes (namely grapefruit) and the (now already very strong) cedarwood. Quickly, medium-strength pepper and green-fresh notes join in. With the initial notes of grapefruit and pepper, the scent has something of the probably well-known Terre d’Hermès, but it is noticeably lighter and a bit more floral and, as mentioned, greener. And of course, woodier :D
A few minutes later, now in the heart note, the fragrance takes on a pleasantly sweet character due to the jasmine and violets, while the roses are rather weak.
Despite the sweet notes, the pepper also becomes a bit stronger later on, but never to the point where it starts to scratch unpleasantly in the throat or tingle in the nose; you can just perceive the pepper more in the projection of the fragrance, which pushes the sweet notes a bit into the background from now on. However, the scent also becomes somewhat creamier.
Thus, even a bit later, you still smell the pepper and the cedar. In the base, as indicated, the leather comes in and becomes another main player alongside the pepper and cedar, as these three fragrance notes are best perceived from the base onward.

The longevity and sillage:
Even though I initially compared the scent to Terre d’Hermès, this fragrance does not have the projection of the Hermès scent at all. Instead, it is above average, which means it is still somewhat noticeable, but does not maintain this level for many hours. For a summery, fresh scent, it’s quite okay.
The longevity is also just above average at about six hours, but it’s still sufficient.

The bottle:
The bottle is cylindrical with a very thick glass bottom and is topped with a gold-plated cap. The label is square and also gold-plated. Quite simple in itself, but still okay.

Hmm, Cedar Atlas has become a nice scent for warm days, even if the scent itself feels a bit warm later on. Because despite the pepper, which is always present and can be smelled more or less at times, it is never overwhelming, making it hardly bothersome even on hot days. It also ensures that the scent initially, as described, slightly reminds me of Terre d’Hermès (at least for me), which is also a very nice fragrance.

Due to the woody and leathery notes, I find this scent more of a men’s fragrance than unisex, even though it should have sweet-floral notes in the background later in the base.
It has an above-average good sillage, but for going out, it is still a bit weak and should occasionally be reapplied.

I would definitely recommend giving it a test!

Fresh, green, woody.
Well, it suits a suit, suits a suit, suits a suit.
Office cedar without vetiver.
More for short meetings. *

Herb-fresh citrus fruits on dried wood, a hint of pepper, and green-spicy-powdery notes round it off. Floral notes are rather insignificant.

I generally don't like scents that combine strong woodiness with noticeable spice (pepper, etc.). It's just plain too much!

A super beautiful, complex top note has to make way for the pushing wood. A scoop of pepper flattens the rest. What a shame.

"Green Walk", "Terre", "Cedar Atlas" in descending order of intensity. Fresh cedarwood, grapefruit, subtle bright leather note with a smoky aura. Elegant.

A very calm, softly spicy cedarwood scent with a delicate floral note that makes the fragrance incredibly sensual when paired with leather.

It must be a very old cedar near the cemetery. Earthy, mossy, on the verge of dying, somehow nutmeg-heavy. A strange brew.
