Abel

Green Cedar

Green Cedar by Abel is an unisex eau de parfum in the niche price tier. It opens with magnolia and cardamom, moves into cypriol and guaiac wood and dries down to cedarwood and atlas cedar. Expect around 6 hours of wear, and it projects softly.

Notes, explained

Opening

• Magnolia Lemony white floral. Bright and clean rather than heavy.
• Cardamom Cool, aromatic spice with a eucalyptus lift. Smells expensive.

Heart

• Cypriol Also called nagarmotha. Smoky, leathery, earthy — a vetiver relative.
• Guaiac Wood Smoky, tarry and slightly sweet. Like a bonfire and roses.

Dry-down

• Cedarwood Dry, pencil-shaving woodiness. Clean and structural.
• Atlas Cedar Smoother, resinous cedar. Warmer than the Virginia type.
