Cédrat

Cédrat

A luminous citron cologne-water where juicy zest meets breezy aromatic herbs and a soft trace of gaïac wood. Effortless and energising, it feels like stepping into fresh outdoor air, leaving a clean, citrus-woody veil close to the skin.

Scent Development and Character

An airy, energetic citrus-woody fragrance built around sparkling citron pulp and the lightly woody facet of its peel, brightened by wild aromatic cardamom, basil and thyme, and grounded by a soft trace of gaïac wood. It opens with vivid, sunlit zest, then settles into a breezy, herbal freshness over a gentle, dry woodiness that feels clean and quietly invigorating rather than sharp.

Who It Is For and When to Wear It

As a light wellbeing water, it wears close to the skin with a discreet yet refreshing trail, ideal for generous spraying. Longevity is moderate for the category—expect a bright opening that softens after a couple of hours, with gentle woody-aromatic traces lingering a bit longer, making it easy to reapply throughout the day without overwhelming the senses. Most at home in spring and summer for its bright, breezy citrus-herbal freshness, but its soft woody base also makes it pleasant in mild autumn weather; in cold winter it becomes very subtle and mainly serves as a light, uplifting skin scent. Sillage is Soft sillage: projects within an arm’s length at most, then quickly becomes a subtle, personal aura, suitable for office, hot weather, or layered use. Longevity is Short to moderate longevity for a light wellbeing water: expect roughly 3–4 hours of noticeable freshness on skin, with the citrus top fading sooner and soft woody-aromatic notes remaining close to the skin.
