    Default Cedar Scent

    This is a bit of a random one to ask however;
    I used to do archery and made my own arrows from Port Orford Cedar and loved the smell of the stuff. In fact I ended up with close to 100 arrows at one point as I got a little carried away when making a couple of batches as the smelled awesome and the process was kind of therapeutic.

    Are there any Colognes/Aftershaves which use cedar as a main scent? I've noticed on some reviews that a cedar smell is noted as an undertone but I would like to find something where it features quite heavily in the scent.

    Cheers,
    Si

    I've been using Denim Original AS splash recently and cedar seems to be the main component of the fragrance. It's not very long lived however.

    Gucci has a predominant cedar note. Be careful to get the right one. It comes in a box with a small checked pattern. A very smooth cedar

    Dirty English is another, with a more "raw" cedar scent.

    You should try Comme des Garcons Kyoto, my favourite EDT...

    I thought L'Occitane's Cedar(Cedre) was a little too feminine, but there's also:

    Tumulte Pour Homme
    Penhaligon's Opus 1870
    Terre d'Hermes by Hermes
    Gucci Pour Homme (Like Randy said, this is the first GPH in the gold and black check, not blue and silver and not "Gucci by Gucci pour homme" )

    Hope this helps.

    Acca Kappa Cedro is one of the best I have ever smelled.

    If you really want cedar, try "The Shave Den Store". They have cedar alone, or you could ask JoAnna to mix you something personal. I have a sample of the aftershave milk in cedar with menthol added (iced), and it smells exactly like it sounds. Reminds me of woodshop in school! Actually too pure cedar for me, but I still use it occasionally....very strong cedar scent! Go to the 'Shave Den Forum' and click on the "store" link.

    You can also try Cedarwood Tea from CB I Hate Perfume. Plenty of cedar in that one. (If you decide to try it, get the oil-based scent. It lasts much longer than the water-based one.)

    Trumper's Marlborough is quite nice. It's not a pure cedar, but I'm wearing a sample today and rather like it.

    CdG Vettiveru is also a nice cedar fragrance.

    CdG Monocle Scent One: Hinoki and Jaisalmer may also be worth looking into.

    There's a bit of cedar in Tam Dao but mostly sandalwood.

    +1, this is a great scent + much more affordable than other CDG scents (at least for decants.)

    +1. By far my favorite Ceder fragrance. Wish it lasted longer.
    Take care,

    A good lather is half the shave.

    I occasionally wear Givenchy Vetyver. It is a great vetiver fragrance, but it also has a strong cedar note.
