Cedarwood is one of the oldest ingredients used in perfumery, with its balsamic, woody aroma providing a key facet in many popular scents. Native to the Mediterranean and the Himalayas, cedarwood has been revered for its mystical and magical properties by many cultures throughout history.
Cherokee believed that the human spirit was hidden in the core of cedarwood, while Tibetans used cedarwood oil in their spiritual ceremonies, and ancient Romans used the tree trunks for ship construction.
In perfumery, cedarwood is primarily used as a base note, anchoring the top and middle notes of a composition. Cedarwood combines extremely well with floral and citrus notes, lending warmth, while the fragrances in which cedar is blended with musk and amber have a green and clean aroma with a retro/vintage vibe.
ENGLISH LAUNDRY Riviera
Woody yet undoubtedly fresh, this compelling take on a cedarwood classic has a very sensual, elegant and modern vibe, achieved by drenching the woody core with a shot of the most energizing, zesty mandarin orange and bergamot combo. A mixture of aromatic spices, herbs and florals uplift its velvety smooth heart, while the sandalwood and guaiac wood band together for a final touch of hedonism.
