Bois de Cèdre
Karl Lagerfeld's Bois de Cèdre is an eau de toilette created by perfumer Alienor Massenet and launched in 2019. It is made in France and built around a clean, woody character that reads as both fresh and grounded.
The opening is bright and citrus-led, with a sharp grapefruit lift that brings a sense of energy at the start. As it settles, a soft aromatic heart of herbal and floral tones emerges, with a faintly salty, marine quality running beneath. The fragrance then deepens into a dry cedarwood base, supported by warm ambergris and a clean musky finish. The transition is gradual, so the scent feels balanced from start to finish rather than shifting sharply.
The character is measured and understated, suited to a modern, refined masculine style. It works across the seasons and sits comfortably in a professional setting, relaxed weekend plans or a night out. Its moderate sillage means it sits close to the wearer, and its moderate longevity means it typically lasts through a full day without becoming overpowering.
