Christopher Sheldrake

"Cèdre is a warm, richly textured Eau de Parfum built around a dramatic interpretation of cedar rather than a straightforward cedar soliflore. Tuberose gives the composition a creamy, opulent floral presence, while cinnamon and clove provide a glowing spicy core. Musk and leather deepen the fragrance with sensual, slightly animalic warmth. Although cedar is central to its identity, the overall impression can shift toward spiced tuberose, soft woods, and oriental richness. Christopher Sheldrake's composition has a deliberately dense and expressive character typical of Serge Lutens. It is best suited to wearers who enjoy bold floral-woody fragrances with a warm, enveloping presence."

Fun Facts

Cèdre is known for pairing cedar with tuberose, an unusual contrast between dry wood and lush white floral creaminess.

The fragrance is often perceived as a spiced floral-woody composition rather than a literal cedar soliflore.

Reviews Summary

“Cèdre is generally regarded as a warm, spicy, woody-oriental fragrance with a rich and textured character. Its cedar aspect may feel muted to some wearers, while tuberose, cinnamon, clove, musk, and amber-like warmth can become more prominent. The result is an expressive, slightly animalic fragrance that reads as spiced tuberose over woods rather than as a simple cedar soliflore.”
