What do reviewers say about Elio and Cedrus?

Built for the moment the city wakes, Elio delivers a bright citrus spark that flips into a peppery bite, then settles into a warm, almost tactile wood.Elio

No top note, no false start. Cedrus opens in medias res with its heart notes fully deployed. If you want a fragrance that announces itself gradually and refuses to rush, this is worth your attention.Cedrus
