Cédrat Céruse
by L'Artisan Parfumeur
Cédrat Céruse by L'Artisan Parfumeur is a distinctive, herbaceous fragrance centered on fennel and citrus, creating a bright, green, and slightly anise-like profile. The opening bursts with zesty lemon and vivid fennel, giving it a crisp, almost medicinal freshness reminiscent of herbal teas or kitchen herbs. Over time, the scent settles into a soft, creamy musk with lingering fennel and anise, evoking a calm, mindful atmosphere like a quiet kitchen or a yoga retreat. While some find it overly strong and sharp—reporting headaches or an aggressive, linear citrus-fennel essence—the majority appreciate its originality, freshness, and the way it transforms into a delicate, harmonious dry down. It is especially praised for its suitability as a daytime, spring or summer scent, worn close to the skin with a quiet sillage, and is viewed as a unique, artistic interpretation of Eau de Cologne.
