tuberose tuberose tuberose tuberose tuberose tuberoset tuberose tuberose tuberose tuberose tuberose tuberose :)
and i loved it! this juice is for real, i get the tuberose but, its tempered so well with resinous woods and amber! i think careful application along with little patience is the key to this one... is quite potent. all the bubble gum, candy references are true to an extent. but certainly a worthy contender for one fo those barbeque parties out in the lawn when you dont need anythin serious. easily unisex. leanin towards feminine though

Serge, Chris, enough with the desserts! Several Sheldrake-Lutens scents, including Rousse, Arabie, and Chergui, are smelling like slightly varied takes on baklava to me. Now I’ll have to add Cèdre to the list as well. Yes, Chergui adds hay, Rousse adds cinnamon, and Cèdre adds woods, but once they begin to dry down on me they grow too similar to warrant owning more than one.

Meanwhile, if there’s any tuberose in Cèdre, it’s gone before I get a chance to catch it, crushed under the freight train full of syrupy amber and dried fruit. Yes, I can smell the resinous cedar in the mix, but it’s very much a backseat passenger. All in all, a disappointment.

This is a tuberose dominated scent. Whatever "cedre" there is, is hidden miles in the background. That being said, this is my favorite Lutens because it is the most wearable one I've experienced. It is sweet, lush, and yes "candied", but never cloying or offensive. Tuberose must be my thing, because I absolutely love this, and if you love tuberose too, I highly suggest sampling this.

This should be called Tubereuse, not Cedre.

Honestly, I expected to love this. I tried to love this. But when I smelled it I thought for a minute that the samples had got mixed up... it reminded me of nothing more than BUBBLEGUM MOUTHWASH. What the heck? It's so sweet! When I was a kid I would brush my teeth with cinnamon toothpaste and then use bubblegum mouthwash and my breath smelled like this.

Mr. Lutens, I know you can do cedar, Feminite du Bois is amazing. I love you Serge, but if I didn't know better I would have thought this was the latest celebrity fragrance, maybe a Britney Spears or similar. Maybe it's because I wasn't expecting sweet. I was expecting cedar!

I agree with Pigeon Murderer's description. Candied is right. It is nice, but my wife said it smelled like an old grandmother. A classy dame at that though.
