What do reviewers say about Cedar Wood and Bright Neroli?
Monotheme built a brand on doing less. Cedar Wood is their argument that one strong note, executed cleanly, beats a dozen half-committed ones. The lavender-geranium heart might surprise anyone.Cedar Wood
This is what neroli smells like when it doesn't have to apologize for its price. The Sichuan pepper keeps it honest, the ambroxan keeps it clean, and at this value rating.Bright Neroli
