Fragrance information:

2016: the world took its first breath of The Big Bad Cedar Atkinsons. By character, a unisex fragrance drawing from the wood family. By character, it falls into the wood group. From the Contemporary collection; released as eau de parfum.

The sillage is delicate — an intimate cloud that stays close to the skin. In terms of longevity, it sits at moderate — long enough to make a real impression. Made in the United Kingdom. A rich, layered composition that reveals itself differently depending on your mood and the time of day.

Perfume information

Description of the composition

The composition of The Big Bad Cedar is shaped as an expressive line of development, where accents shift with precision and warmth. The signature of Atkinsons is recognizable in details that define the fragrance identity. No excess details, only what works, and the structure feels complete all the way through. Eau de parfum sets the right density and pace of development.

At the note-group layer the composition is built around Wood, Spicy, Aromatic and Musk. The framework further includes Earthy / Mossy. At family level the scent maps to Wood.

Right at the start you meet spicy sparkling opening notes: Cardamom, Clary Sage and Gorse.

In the middle phase you detect Cedar keeping a velvety sandalwood direction.

The internal accord map is driven by these accords: Aromatic, Floral, Musc and Wood without random overlap. Background accords such as Spicy add depth to the backdrop. The profile is unisex, which clarifies the composition character. In wear duration Middle suggests confident staying power.

In summary The Big Bad Cedar sounds complete from start to finish — the opening sets direction, the heart develops the core line, and the final phase leaves a stable imprint. These are the scent structures best judged in wear.

Persistence
The persistence of a fragrance is determined by how long it can be felt. It is a characteristic associated with ingredients that evaporate slowly. Persistence depends on the physical properties of the perfume ingredients—mainly their volatility and environmental factors such as temperature and humidity.
Persistence
Medium (2 to 5 hours)

Sillage
Imagine a light cloud of fragrance that, like an aeroplane trail, remains in the air after your appearance. This is the sillage - a subtle or vivid imprint left by the most diffuse element of a perfume composition. The sillage can be almost invisible when it is felt only by you and those around you. Or it can be so expressive that its presence is noticed even long after you have left.

Complexity and depth
The complexity of a fragrance is the number and variety of notes that create a unique composition. A complex fragrance contains many different notes that reveal themselves on the skin. The depth of a fragrance is the richness and intensity of the fragrance. Fragrances with a deep composition include heavy and powerful notes that stay on the skin longer and affect others over long distances.

The scent is really beautiful, but it's too restrained for female use. On male skin, it would smell much better 🌟
