Byredo Super Cedar

Opens with a sharp, green-edged rose that wastes no time before the cedarwood moves in and takes over — dry, slightly smoky, and very linear from there. The ambrette softens the wood with a subtle skin-like warmth, keeping it from going full lumberyard, but make no mistake: cedar is the point here. Sillage is moderate and close-wearing; the dry-down is quiet but persistent, leaving a clean woody skin trace that lasts hours. — Best in cool weather for someone who wants a floral that behaves like a wood.
