What it smells like

Cedar smells dry, woody and clean, like freshly cut timber, pencil shavings and warm, sunny wood. It has a soft, slightly balsamic sweetness with a faint smoky, resinous edge, and it feels calm, elegant and understated. As a heart and base note, it supports brighter materials and gives compositions a dry, polished structure. It blends easily with citrus, spices, leather, vetiver and florals, adding a steady, natural woodiness that lasts.

Cedar is listed in 19 perfumes in this directory. It is used across the base, top and heart positions rather than in one fixed place. It is most often paired with patchouli, moss, sandalwood and iris.
