The house of Matiere Premiere gifted the world with Cologne Cedrat in 2020. By character, a unisex fragrance drawing from the spicy and citrus families. The nose behind this fragrance — Aurelien Guichard. Offered in eau de parfum concentration.
Made in France, backed by a long and proud tradition. Cologne Cedrat Matiere Premiere unfolds gradually, effortlessly, and with great refinement — a perfect choice for day or evening.
The fragrance is very long-lasting, staying on the skin for 12 hours or more, gradually revealing its notes
The scent will linger in the air even after its wearer has left.
The perfume has a fresh scent that is not too intense, so it does not overwhelm those around you with strong essences
A rich and elegant fragrance that gently unfolds on the skin and lasts most of the day, leaving a delicate trail
Fragrances for spring and summer unfold with light citrus notes, floral and fruity accords, filling the composition with freshness, airiness, and a feeling of carefree lightness on warm days
The composition of Cologne Cedrat unfolds as a cohesive olfactory arc, where accents shift without rush and without gaps. The signature of Matiere Premiere is clear from the opening to the final trail. Nothing here feels random, and the structure feels complete all the way through. Eau de parfum supports the right density and pace of development.
The internal accord map is driven by these accords: Citrus, Wood and Spicy with each one in a clear role. The profile is unisex, which makes the scent profile easier to read.
In the top tier you meet invigorating sunny opening note: Bergamot. This single 1 note sets a sensation of cool purity that gives the fragrance a clear opening statement.
In the heart you detect Black Pepper and Pink pepper carrying a warm-spicy direction. At the foundation the structure settles through Mate, reinforcing a dry green trail.
From the group perspective the composition is built around Citrus, Spicy and Green. Within olfactory families the scent maps to Citrus and Spicy.
Overall Cologne Cedrat reads as a cohesive composition — the first stage creates momentum, the middle layer carries the identity, and the base secures the trail. These are the fragrances best experienced in wear.

Although each of these components is added in the right proportions to highlight the citron, Guichard masterfully uses other notes to create the illusion of citrus freshness. Mate and green tea, as well as suede and aquatic accents, add depth and complexity. They don't smell directly like citrus, but they interact with them, prolonging the feeling of their presence.
Overall, Cologne Cedrat is a classic citrus cologne with a slightly outdated woody-suede hint and an aquatic accent. Personally, I miss the brightness and juiciness of the citruses, but, undoubtedly, the longevity of the fragrance is impressive )
