The Best Cedar Fragrances

Cedar is the most used wood in modern perfumery, yet one of the least known to the general public. Dry, slightly powdery, with an almost mineral chalky facet in some expressions, or conversely creamy and milky in others, cedar structures compositions without weighing them down, giving depth without imposing heaviness. It is present in almost all masculine fragrances — often unnamed, always beneath, silent but structuring like an invisible backbone. Byredo dedicated Super Cedar to it, a minimalist fragrance that reveals all its raw beauty. In this selection we have gathered the creations that put cedar in the spotlight — from driest and almost ascetic to creamiest and most enveloping. A wood for lovers of simultaneous clarity and depth.
