Aromatic Profiles : Cedarwood


AROMATIC PROFILES : Cedarwood




I do love the woody notes in perfumery 
they have something grounding and solid and timeless
my body resonates with them and they seem ageless and robust - not frilly and pretty like a party dress

Cedarwood is gummy and resiny for me and a little mysterious. Perhaps that is because it comes from Morocco - from the Atlas Mountains and it carries the DNA of nomads and itinerants roaming in exotic places.
Although the picture shows needles and one would expect pine smell - I don't really get a pine smell.
Initially it smells a little like cough mixture . It is a base note  with powdery notes . I am unable to smell the powder at this stage
