A Barouk cedar forest during a storm
The Lebanese perfumer Hubert Fattal was inspired to create Eau de Cèdre by an evening walk through a Barouk cedar forest during a storm. However, since the essential oil of the Lebanese cedar is practically unavailable due to the protection of the trees, he had to reconstruct its scent using other types of cedar.
He smoothed the initial freshly crushed pepper with dry Virginia cedar wood, aerated it with lavender, and combined it with a cool incense resin, which he laid over the resinous wood of Himalayan cedar, undertoned with peppery guaiac and smoothed with a splash of milky sandalwood. The result is a European-style perfume that can withstand comparison to Tam Dao EdP (Diptyque) or Royal Oud (Creed). Eau de Cèdre perfume shares with them not only the high quality of the ingredients, but also the weaker projection and the approximately four-hour longetivity. At the same time, it retains its distinctiveness thanks to the incense resin that serves as a staple between the two woods - the opening dry down and the final resinous one.
