Notre Flore Cedar is a fresh, green-woody fragrance centered around cedar, with a crisp citrus opening of grapefruit and caraway, balanced by soft tonka bean and tobacco leaf. The scent evolves from a sharp, aromatic start into a warm, comforting, and subtly ambery woody base. Many describe it as elegant, linear, and unisex despite being marketed primarily to men. It exudes a clean, outdoorsy aura reminiscent of a forest after rain — invigorating and uplifting, especially in summer. The scent tends to be most noticeable during the day and fades gradually, though some note its longevity is moderate. While some appreciate the initial freshness and depth, others find the drydown turns too soapy or dusty, with a dominant alcohol note that detracts from the experience. A few observe shifts in scent over time, noting it transforms into a mellower, softer profile that retains the cedar core but lacks strong sillage or complexity. It's not for those seeking bold or long-lasting projections; instead, it appeals to people who enjoy subtle, naturalistic perfumes that feel both grounded and refined. The impression from usage is often one of quiet confidence — not loud, not flashy, but deeply personal and effective in discreet settings.
