Comment: Cèdre Atlas is part of the Collection Azur
It was only a matter of time before Atelier Cologne turned its attention to cedar...
With so many uninspired male fragrances possessing a derivative woody-amber base, the last thing the world really needs is Cèdre Atlas.
One has to confess an acute distaste for this dry, yet occasionally creamy, woody component because, within the world of modern perfumery, its use is excessively common (both natural and synthetic). With that said, it's a transparent amber and cedar affair, with soft fruity flourishes and a hint of jasmine. However, none of the other accords can save it from being a banal experience.
An utterly pointless release, with poor sillage and subpar longevity.
