What it smells like

Virginian cedar smells like the dry, slightly waxy aroma of a freshly sharpened pencil. The scent is clean and airy, with a faint smokiness and a subtle balsamic warmth that does not sweeten. It feels crisp and dry, avoiding the sweetness of sandalwood or the earthiness of vetiver. Perfumers use it as a structural base, providing longevity and a crisp counterbalance to citrus or florals.

Virginian Cedar is listed in 13 perfumes in this directory. It is most often used as a base note (85% of its appearances). It is most often paired with bergamot, musk, sandalwood and patchouli.
