  1. Edu Lezana

    Lutens wanted a harmonious cedar with exotic and warm touches. With Sheldrake, they created Cedre, a warm, woody oriental, intoxicating. Lutens took Sheldrake to his garden in Marrakech and said, ‘I want it to smell like this.’ It’s opulent and warm; on my skin, it highlights a soft cedar with rich neroli notes that give it an adult character, all sweetened by honey, a Lutens signature. It lasts and projects for hours with just a few sprays. I see it as unisex but difficult to wear: it requires personality. It’s serious, majestic, and elegant. Ideal for formal and evening events. It reflects the charm of Marrakech.

    Here, the neroli takes charge, even though it’s called Cedre; on my skin, that’s what stands out the most. I see it as floral, with a spicy touch of cinnamon and clove, and cedar in the background. Unlike the previous one, I think it’s unisex but suits a woman better. Be careful with the sprays: I overdid it and ended up feeling overwhelmed by the intensity at the end of the day. Projection and longevity are extremely high. Best for cold climates and in the evening. It won’t leave you indifferent.

Projection and longevity are incredible. Best for cold climates and in the evening. It won’t leave you indifferent.

  5. Ozymandias

    To be honest, it disappointed me. It smells like a barbershop lotion and a gentleman from another era. It’s the cologne of a Ricardo Reis: very well made, but without surprises or originality.

    One of the most masculine and least suffocating versions of neroli. A good fragrance; the neroli is there, noticeable, but it doesn’t dominate.
