The Cedre is amazing, but doesn’t last so long. In fact, it doesn’t last very long at all on me. I’m not thrilled, but it is a keeper.

What a shame! It is no powerhouse on me either, but not nearly so bad as all that.

Tested Yuzu Rouge recently in the heat of summer and found it to be a perfectly lovely, refreshing citrus-rose that lasted about a nanosecond on me… kidding, it lasted all of 20 minutes. I retested twice on separate days and got the same disappearing act, even with applying more than I usually do. Typically, a 1ml sample lasts me a minimum of 4 tests, and usually 5, but YR was gone after the third day. Sad.

J, you've revived my interest in Cedre!

And my French pronounciation is simply atrocious. I not only mangle every word, but I also don't comprehend what people are talking about when they use the correct pronounciation, since it doesn't match the word in my mind

Hi! I remember testing Yuzu Rouge in October at Tak and I liked it. I have a sample from Luckyscent . . . must get it out. And about Cedre, I can't remember who it was, but someone's husband was sitting next to me at Tak testing it – I think it smelled wonderful on him – he bought it, actually. It's listed on Luckyscent as a men's scent. If I hadn't blown my fragrance budget that day I think I would have bought it for my fiancee.

BTW, I'm a new Sur le Nil devotee. Now, if I only knew how to pronounce it never mind type it out every time I write about it!

Thanks for commenting V, sounds like Yuzu Rouge is considerably more popular than Cedre. I actually love cedar, but it is hard to do it right without smelling like pencil shavings.

Cedre was rather uninteresting, rather like the scent of water dripping from a cedar block–in order words, not at all cedar-y. I am not the biggest fan of straightforward cedar, but this was not even strong on cedar at all!

Yuzu Rouge, on the other hand, is a perfect fragrance that is easy to wear, refreshing, yet not at all “clean” and simple. It holds my interest throughout the day, yet does not overwhelm like some of my other favourites are wont to. The combination of citrus–and I must say that yuzu note is very true to the scent of the fruit–and rose is splendid, with a hint of green note from cassis providing such a great counterpoint. Should I mention again how much I love it?

Yes, we usually get three hot days a year…ha! If the green mango is “true”…then I will love it…grapefruit can go either way for me…some renditions are nice…some are like the fumes from hell itself!

K, hope I haven't prejudiced you against Jardin sur le Nil! I like Jardin, but found it had an unexpected grapefuit note (actually green mango – but I've never smelled one of those), which was there throughout the opening and the drydown. Although I'm not a fan of citrus scents (they turn sharp and thin on my skin), I did really like this one – I thought it would be lovely for hot weather (and you do get SOME hot days in Seattle, don't you? ).
