Review of Cèdre by RINA

This fragrance opens with the rich and sensual scent of tuberose, accented by the warmth of cinnamon, and then evolves into a more stimulating impression with the addition of clove. Following this refreshing introduction, the refined scent of cedarwood emerges, which Serge Lutens praises as a symbol of "richness, softness, and tranquility." A unique characteristic of this perfume lies in the disinfectant, medicinal nuances that appear during the transition from the alluring white tuberose to the refined cedarwood. This is thought to be due to the interaction of indole derived from jasmine and the stimulating scent of clove. Beyond the stimulating impression, the scent of cedarwood appears. The seamless transition of each fragrance element creates a mystical atmosphere. After a while, the overall scent becomes gentle. This fragrance skillfully utilizes the characteristics of tuberose while brilliantly expressing the diverse aspects of cedarwood.
