What it smells like

Cedarwood smells dry, clean and woody, like freshly sharpened pencils and a closet lined with pale timber. There is a soft, slightly sweet, balsamic warmth and a light smoky edge, but the overall feeling is crisp and calm rather than heavy. It is a versatile base and heart note that gives structure and a dry, elegant backbone to a composition. It blends easily with citrus, spices, leather and florals and lingers with a quiet, polished woodiness.
