Cedrat Tonic
Cedrat Tonic by Liquides Imaginaires is an unisex eau de parfum in the niche price tier. It opens with gin, grapefruit, citrus notes, lemon and rosemary, moves into ginger, mint, pink pepper and jasmine and dries down to musk, amberwood, ambrette seed, elemi and akigalawood. Expect around 8 hours of wear, and it projects at a moderate level.
Notes, explained
Opening
- Gin Juniper and citrus peel with an alcoholic sting.
- Grapefruit Bitter, slightly sweaty citrus. More grown-up than lemon.
- Citrus Notes A mix of citrus peel with no single fruit named.
- Lemon Clean, sour, instantly recognisable. Bright but burns off fast.
- Rosemary Sharp, camphorous herb. Bracing and clean, borders on medicinal.
Heart
- Ginger Warm, zesty and slightly soapy. Bridges citrus and spice.
- Mint Cold and tingly. Great in small doses, toothpaste in large ones.
- Pink Pepper Fizzy, rosy and bright. Adds sparkle without heat.
- Jasmine Heady, sweet and slightly animal underneath. Rarely subtle.
Dry-down
- Musk Warm, skin-like and slightly sweet. Makes a fragrance feel like you.
- Amberwood Dry synthetic warmth, sharper than amber. Everywhere in modern masculines.
- Ambrette Seed The only natural musk. Pear-like, warm and slightly boozy.
- Elemi Peppery resin with a lemon-pine lift. Bright and dry.
- Akigalawood Patchouli with the earth taken out. Peppery, lightly spiced dry wood that makes a base feel expensive.
