The Scent Profile
Cedarwood is a dry woody note that's clean and crisp with a slight nod to the the smell of pencil-shavings. Less creamy than sandalwood, cedarwood fragrances often feel structured, fresh and quietly confident, with a natural warmth that never feels too sweet.
How Cedarwood Is Used in Fragrance
Cedarwood is usually used as a heart or base note to add structure, dryness and lasting depth. It works well in woody, fresh, aromatic, chypre and musky fragrances, often paired with bergamot, vetiver, patchouli, lavender, musk, amber or citrus. Look for cedarwood if you like fragrances that feel clean and grounded.
