Légendes du Cèdre in detail
L'Artisan Parfumeur, the Paris house founded in 1976 by Jean Laporte, places Légendes du Cèdre in Les Merveilles, Christophe Raynaud's collection. The perfumer built it around cedar, warmed by saffron; the house files it among both its amber and its woody scents.
The house publishes three key ingredients, without sorting them into stages. Dry, noble cedarwood is at its centre. Saffron, a spice with leather and honey accents, warms it. Earthy, dark patchouli gives it depth. With so few materials, each one is easy to recognise on the skin.
Légendes du Cèdre is worn in autumn and winter, by day or in the evening. It is a spicy, warm woody scent, for those who like dry woods lifted by a precious spice. It suits the office as well as a dinner.
Three woody fragrances in our catalogue bring together the same three materials, cedar, saffron and patchouli, each in a larger composition: Epic Man by Amouage, OUD by Maison Francis Kurkdjian and Outcast Blue by Ex Nihilo.
