Cedro di Diamante
Cedro di Diamante by Perris Monte Carlo is an unisex eau de parfum in the niche price tier. It opens with cedarwood, lime, lemon and lemon verbena, moves into pink pepper, ginger, cardamom and sichuan pepper and dries down to iris, oakmoss and musk. Expect around 8 hours of wear, and it projects at a moderate level.
Notes, explained
Opening
- Cedarwood Dry, pencil-shaving woodiness. Clean and structural.
- Lime Sharper and greener than lemon. Reads a bit tropical, a bit barbershop.
- Lemon Clean, sour, instantly recognisable. Bright but burns off fast.
- Lemon Verbena Lemon crossed with crushed herbs. Smells like expensive soap.
Heart
- Pink Pepper Fizzy, rosy and bright. Adds sparkle without heat.
- Ginger Warm, zesty and slightly soapy. Bridges citrus and spice.
- Cardamom Cool, aromatic spice with a eucalyptus lift. Smells expensive.
- Sichuan Pepper Buzzy, citrus-tinged pepper. Tingles rather than burns.
Dry-down
- Iris Cool, powdery, slightly carroty and expensive. The luxury note.
- Oakmoss Damp forest floor. Bitter, green and the backbone of every chypre.
- Musk Warm, skin-like and slightly sweet. Makes a fragrance feel like you.
