Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between cedarwood and sandalwood?

Cedarwood is dry, crisp, sharp and clean, often evoking the aroma of pencil shavings, fresh lumber or a pine forest. Sandalwood is completely different, it is smooth, milky, creamy, dense and physically warmer on the skin.

What are the main types of cedarwood used in perfume?

The two main types are Virginia Cedar, which provides a dry, familiar and clean pencil shaving scent, and Atlas Cedar, which is deeper, warmer, slightly smoky and carries a rich, balsamic and occasionally animalic undertone.

Why is cedarwood found in so many base notes?

Cedarwood is an incredible fixative. Its clean, structural woodiness provides a solid backbone that holds lighter citrus and floral notes in place, ensuring the overall fragrance structure does not evaporate too quickly.
