Cèdre Mythique

The unusual part is the balance around cedarwood. It appears in both the heart and base, giving the composition a woody spine from the first floral phase into the final drydown, rather than treating cedar as a late accent. Grapefruit and bergamot bring clean brightness, pink pepper and nutmeg add a controlled flash of heat, and geranium gives the heart a green, mineral edge beside jasmine. Patchouli and vetiver then ground the structure. Cardamom keeps the base aromatic rather than flat, which makes the final act feel textured instead of simply heavy.

The evolution

Cèdre Mythique begins with a crisp, sparkling impression: pink pepper cuts through bergamot and grapefruit, while nutmeg adds a dry, almost peppered warmth underneath. That brightness doesn't linger as a simple citrus accord. It hands the composition to cedarwood, geranium, jasmine, and ginger, where the floral and woody parts move closer together. Jasmine softens the opening without making it sweet, while ginger adds a clean heat that feels less like fire and more like sun on stone. As the fragrance develops, the citrus facets gradually give way to a more articulate blend of wood, flowers, and spice. Geranium lends a green, aromatic quality, while jasmine brings a creamy floral texture that rounds the sharper opening notes. Later, cedarwood becomes more substantial, joined by patchouli, cardamom, and vetiver.
