by Hermetica
Cedarise by Hermetica is a woody, aromatic fragrance with a strong initial presence of vetiver, cedar, and cypress, characterized by a sweet, herbal, and slightly citric drydown. The scent evolves over time, starting with a green, earthy, and mildly medicinal opening that transforms into a more refined, creamy, and dry woody profile. Many users appreciate its balance and longevity, particularly noting that it lingers well beyond six hours and projects moderately without being overwhelming. The fragrance carries a unique oily texture, designed to be layered and moisturizing, making it distinct from traditional alcohol-based perfumes. It appeals most to those who enjoy complex, woody scents with a smooth, sweet-dry finish and are open to layered applications. While it is widely considered unisex and wearable year-round, especially in cooler weather, its bold woody character means it can feel polarizing—some find it harsh or overly sweet, particularly on sensitive skin.
