Solo Cedro
Solo Cedro by Loewe is a masculine-leaning eau de toilette from 2013 in the designer price tier. It opens with lemon, bergamot and mandarin, moves into cardamom and basil and dries down to cedarwood, vetiver and musk. Expect around 6 hours of wear, and it projects at a moderate level.
Notes, explained
Opening
- Lemon Clean, sour, instantly recognisable. Bright but burns off fast.
- Bergamot Sharp citrus with a faint bitter edge. The opening of about half of all men's fragrances.
- Mandarin Soft, sweet, almost powdery citrus. Gentler than orange.
Heart
- Cardamom Cool, aromatic spice with a eucalyptus lift. Smells expensive.
- Basil Peppery herb with an aniseed lift. Culinary but wearable.
Dry-down
- Cedarwood Dry, pencil-shaving woodiness. Clean and structural.
- Vetiver Dry, earthy, smoky grass root. Smells like soil and citrus peel.
- Musk Warm, skin-like and slightly sweet. Makes a fragrance feel like you.
