Cedarwood Tea (2006)
by CB I Hate Perfume

Tons of Cedar, lots of rose, maybe some lemon verbena. Nice but not sure I wanna smell like this. Probably great as a room spray.

Top note is sprout tea or earl gray tea. But the bergamot aroma in is not the old cloying bergamot oil which i hate but a new fresh one that takes you to the moment when your teeth runs into a piece of candied bergamot. The middle note is just menthol. In nearly five minutes comes very fine resinous cedar timbers. They are so fresh that reminds me a wooden cottage on a mountain. if we take into account the frequency of places i meet pine timber smell, first should be saunas, then some house decorations and massive wardrobes. I do not know if i have ever been in a cottage made of cedar wood or stand between the huge stacks of cedar timber but smell is so fresh and realistic that never reminds a hot sauna or a closed wardrobe.
I think it is simple natural and fresh. It is certainly for men. And my husband liked it. (The last one is very important when i meet a men scent i like).

Reminds me a lot of Patchouli empire, a citrusy black tea note, only this time it's logical. The difference is it's a little lighter and fresher without the patchouli undertones. Like Patchouli empire, it reminds me more of some aromatherapy oil than fine perfume, or in this case a insect repelling wardrobe perfume, which it is. You don't have to worry about your clothes smelling bad if you use this, but I wouldn't buy it as a personal scent.
