Cedrat Boise
A fresh-yet-strong citrus-woody fragrance built on bright citron and lemon over patchouli, woods, and musk. Cedrat Boise is famous for pairing an invigorating citrus opening with surprisingly powerful, long-lasting performance.
Cedrat Boise opens on Citron and Lemon, moves through Patchouli and Pineapple, and dries down to Sandalwood and Musk. At $90 - $130 it is which sits at fair mid-range value, with long lasting (8h - 12h) on skin. Sample before you commit — it is loud and polarising rather than crowd-safe.
