Very helpful Review 4  
Oh, a 5L bottle please
This is one of those perfumes which stays under the radar, almost invisible in the samples box until one day you get bored, apply and BOOM: it changes everything.

I am a big fan of Matiere Premiere because most of all, they put a lot of accent on the quality of the ingredients and after that on the creation themselves.

When you hear Radical Rose, Falcon Leather or Encens Suave .. you know what´s up, but Cologne Cedrat .. seems like an attempt to create a green freshie for the summer, without much hope to be considered a sales success.

My friends, that is not the case with this scent: It is awesome, absolutely awesome !!

It starts citrussy, with a fair amount of lemon and bergamot and you think, yeah .. it has a catchy top note to steal your nose, then it will become a "nothing" right away. Well, after almost one hours from spraying it it still perfoms and pushes the mouth watering lemon out and around you .. with quite a force.

This is not normal for a freshie green lemon smell to be so powerful, what sorcery has Aurelien Guichard used here, I wonder. The spicy pepper might uplift the whole scent a bit and the mathe is as good as non existing, but for some reason .. I keep smelling my arm again and again.

Aurelién my friend, you have offered to me the best olfactory surprise of 2022 so far.

Citruses on a bed of black and pink peppers
It starts out like a slightly sweet and soapy lemon like the one I've smelled before in "Luna | Penhaligon's". It's very mild, but also refreshing and pleasing to the senses. Fragrance becomes more spicy as time passes. Pink and black pepper become a bit stronger than the citrus accord. I can also detect a hint of tea in the background that stops the scent from becoming too fruity and too spicy while adding a green twist to it. It's pretty well-balanced and overall the fragrance smells chic and sophisticated. Unfortunately, the spiciness of it makes me feel like it's more masculine-leaning. I'd see my boyfriend wearing it during spring and summer.

The sillage is abyssmal on my skin (becomes a skin-scent after 10 minutes) and the longevity seems to wane faster than i thought it would. Overall it's lovely, yes, but the price is pretty steep if you consider the fact that there are similar citrusy colognes out there with better longevity.

Very nice
Cologne Cédrat is aromatic, spicy and green, but a note plays with my imagination and makes this fragrance quite sexy too. It reminds me of a fragrance I have tried not long ago, it might even be an undertone that I usually find in Imaginary Authors fragrances, but Cologne Cédrat has nowhere near the same uniqueness and quirkiness that Imaginary Authors has. I do appreciate this fragrance's linear composition, though. Simplicity is sometimes the key.

On paper, Cologne Cédrat is far more fresh and invigorating. It almost smells like vervain. It remains just as delicious after dry down and oxidation, whereas on skin, the fragrance loses its masculine and spicy quality.

Immediately after spraying Cologne Cédrat on myself, I reached for my partner's wrist, I just had to smell it on a man. On him, the fragrance is deep and remains masculine. No questions asked, this little sample is his!

My first experience with a Matiere Premiere fragrance has me very excited for the fragrances ahead! Cologne Cédrat is a wonderful aromatic citrus that performs best on the masculine side.

Nice modern cologne - unfortunately way too expensive
Really pleasantly modernized lemon cologne. I don't get any associations with lemon cleaners at all. Classically soapy in the drydown. The scent actually lasts quite a while on me. However, the price is simply not justifiable given its simplicity, in my opinion. The house Matiere Premiere has (so far) unfortunately not particularly impressed me. With the YouTube hype, I expected more.

For a Summer in the Dolomites
Simply living in a mountain hut. Milking goats, baking your own bread, keeping the fire crackling ...

Such a summer season is quite demanding and fulfilling for the mind and soul. Becoming one with nature and ultimately with oneself.

Up here, there is usually no expectation to smell good or to attract others with your perfume. The goats couldn't care less. Unless, of course, you want to reinvent yourself or do something nice for yourself. But it should be something natural - something from nature!

Cologne Cédrat seems to meet these requirements 100% - citrusy spice in its purest form - from beginning to end. Nothing more and nothing less.

The longevity is, of course, somewhat limited and the sillage is enveloping. A citrus-spicy scent for summer - refreshing and unpretentious.

In a market where citrus scents are mostly forgotten, Cologne Cedrat makes a statement. Peppery citrus rounded out by tea, persists all day.

Fresh, citric, spicy and slightly green scent. First a juicy lemon with pepper, then bergamote takes place. Aromatic and woody in the base.

Slices of freshly cut citruses lay on a bed of pink and black pepper. Citrusy, spicy with a hint of tea in the background.

Peppery citrus with a cup of barely seeped tea in the background. Balanced & pleasant but I expect more nuance at this price point

In a market where citrus increasingly dominates, this fragrance unfortunately brought nothing new. Pleasant but not enough for the price...

Citrusy-fresh, very mild sweetness & hints of green/soapy. Could be an MFK. Performance is abysmal, lasts 2h & no sillage after minute 10.

Really great citrus-forward fragrance. Love it on my husband. A full-bottle is on the wishlist. It's fresh without being sharp and annoying.

Elegance at highest level. Delight mate and bergamotte, to me it’s a perfect signature scent. Relaxing at the same time, this is so pleasant

Exactly what you’d expect by the name: a cologne with citrusy freshness. Great scent but it’s done a million times before.
