I loved it
1st reason: I was one of the few wearing that at the time
2nd reason: watermelon absence

Terrible fragrance. I love ferrari’s, got 5 of them and this one is definitely the worst of them all. Sugar water, non-existing frangrance. Seriously, dont get any cedar or anything, maybe watermelon.
1/10

this is a very unique composition, different from the usual designers panorama. it has tricky notes beautifully blended, luxurious, great for hot days and very long lasting! The essence line of ferrari is something really special. i own all the line

After blind-buying a bottle of Cedar Essence based on the prominent notes and some decent reviews, I have to say that I am decidedly ambivalent about this one. It starts out almost like a lightly minted “ocean” scented air freshener — calone maybe? There’s some citrus and melon in there, too, but it takes a few minutes before that synthetic oceanic air freshener accord thankfully recedes. What is left is at first something reminiscent of Antonio Banderas Blue Seduction. Which is to say fresh, semi-fruity and generally pleasant overall. Sillage and projection are average for the first hour or so, then recedes to a very small bubble before disappearing into one’s skin.
After all of this — maybe 2-3 hours, it starts to evoke some note similarity to Bleu de Chanel — and before you self-proclaimed experts get your knickers all in a bunch, do NOT read this as me saying it’s in any way identical; only that it shares some noticeable similarities, which is quite common these days. This is probably the emergence the very faint cedar note in combination with coffee/amber/patchouli at its base. I think that if these base notes had been amped up and the calone turned WAY down, this fragrance would be a winner — but that’s not how it was constructed. At best, it’s a like… but closer to the back of the “like line” than the front.
For the price, it’s fairly good.
For a beginner or collector, it’s not great but also not bad.
For a Ferrari Essence series entry, it’s a flop.
For an EDP (in terms of strength), it’s an outright disgrace.

I do like it but it stops short of a love as there is something missing to give it that ‘je ne sais quoi’. A bit more fizz from the lime?….a bit more icey fresh from the Mint?….or a bit more saltiness from the sea notes?
Whatever your preference it needs something extra to porject it into a the big leagues but it is still a very pleasant summer time beach or casual evening scent. Mild sea breeze with Watermelon and Cedar…..and Mint if you shut your eyes, take a sniff and concentrate really hard. ;o)
I do find myself reaching for it even on mild, sunny Autumn days although on these cooler days this almost gives off a of a Calves’ Leather fougere….like the interior of a brand new sports car. Maybe that’s also what Ferrari were aiming for here (???). Hmmmm.

This is a nice, marine fresh scent. You definitely get the water and a citrusy/melon accord, but I also get light mint and amber as it progresses. It reminds me a little of Creed MI although MI smells better but doesn’t last as long and lacks a salty note. It’s a like not love, but it’s inoffensive and inexpensive so a good choice for work or running around.

Blind bought it. AFTER some applications i thought i might like it. But its generic as hell.One of the worst blind buys ever.

I blind bought this perfume based on the reviews, since most of them are positive. Before buying, I had a very nice experience acquiring Ferrari Noble Fig, which is really expectacular. So a I had a strong expectative with Cedar Essence, waiting for ‘pure’ notes.
Cedar essence isn’t bad, we can’t say that, but is very generic. For me this was a good reason for deception. It is something like you had ever smelled before. It’s wood + wet, something in the same concept of He wood ocean wet (only the concept, not the smell). But the Ferrari creation is more ordinary and generic. Is hard to believe, but Ferrari Essence even reminded me one of the most generic scents I have ever had: Animale Azul. It has a strong blue freshness, quite boring.
Differently from some reviews, I don’t agree Cedar Essence has low sillage or low longevity. Both are good.

The notes seem sincere, not synthetic, great marine/fresh/fruity upon application.
They, at times, seem to meld and give an aroma reminiscent of magnolia.
Really like.

I blind bought a full bottle of this for kicks, and after testing somewhat thoroughly, this one most definitely gets put into the Bleu de Chanel/Dylan blue camp for me, especially in the opening. It’s like a mix of BdC and Dylan blue with a slightly sweet watermelon twist, the opening is quite interesting.
However the biggest downside is the performance. Love the smell, but this stuff is completely gone off my skin in a matter of 2 to 4 hours. Spayed liberally (6 sprays) today before work after shower, and like all other weak fragrances I own (far too many, sadly) it’s all but gone by the time I get to my first break (which is just about 3 and a half hours after my initial application). I’ve used it several times prior to this example, and the results are regrettably the same each time.
I have to admit though, since this predates Dylan Blue (and even Sauvage for that matter), I’m thinking Ferrari was onto something special with this one. Because while I say it smells like Dylan Blue (which obviously gets compared to Sauvage), the correct thing to say is that Dylan Blue reminds me of this. It only has a small dose of BdC, but the majority of the initial smell is Dylan Blue.
If the performance was beast this could have easily been the talk of the town and in many reviewers top 10 lists. As it has that certain “magical mass pleasing” shower-gel/deodorant formula that has made fragrances like Sauvage, BdC and Dylan Blue so popular.

Light, fresh musky smell.
Not so sporty as the notes suggest (watermelon & sea notes)
Starts with a slightly sharp soapy & musky smell. The soapiness fades after a few minutes (~5-10mins) & you are left with this bright & fresh smell of musk. The reason of the smell is, in my opinion, the mixture of mostly amber with some patchouli & a hint of citrus freshness. Similar to what some people call “White Musk”.
What really supports the smell that my nose is picking is that Cedar Essence reminds people of Eau de Iceberg Cedar, which itself reminds people of another Ferrari: “Musk Essence”.
Overall, a good fragrance from Ferrari, like the rest of the Essence line. Inoffensive with moderate sillage & projection. Safe for gifting or blind-buy.
UPDATE:
So I bought Cedar Essence along with about 13 sampling vials of different types of fragrances & I noticed that I’m reaching a lot to Cedar Essence. In fact, the most. It’s so comfortable, light, & inoffensive fragrance to wear. Reminds of another comfortable, light, & inoffensive fragrance; Davidoff Hot Water Night, despite both being vastly different.

Takes me back to some of the fragrances is older ages.
Smells good but not for you if you are looking for something special.

As rviewer stated below first sniff from cap seems promising. Spraying this juice is nauseating. If axe, rexona or adidas came out with this it wouldbe acceptable. Smells cheap and cloying to my nose. Too much going on in the beginning and it isnt very nice. The dry down is respectable but only just and getting there is quite a trip. Doubting the other essence line items at thispoint. Glad the price was not too bad.

First sniffing: Not bad at all
A few seconds after application onto the skin: Air freshener alike, cheap frag alike.
2 hours later: You can smell the sea notes.. fresh and a hint of cedar..
It’s a love and hate relationship.

In 2014, Ferrari has launched another two fragrances to enlarge its Essence Collection, which already had Essence Oud and Silver Essence (2012), in addition to Essence Musk and Leather Essence (2013). This time, the ingredients chosen to give life to the fragrances were cedar and vetiver. Born, then, Cedar Essence (April 2014) and Vetiver Essence (October 2014).
Cedar Essence comes in the standard bottle, which was created for this collection, bringing special paints and impeccable finishing, as metal lid and leather. The blue colour had a reason: according to the manufacturer, the Lebanese cedar resin has blue-green colour. In addition, the leaves (needles) of blue cedar were also used in the composition. Therefore, the company used one of its patented colour for the Ferrari GT range: the Blu Tour de France, much requested in models such as the Spider and the California.
In the official composition, Cedar Essence carries notes of peppermint, lime, bergamot from Calabria, orange, grapefruit and ginger, on top. In the body of the fragrance, notes of watermelon, needles of blue cedar and oceanic accord. The base has notes of amber, patchouli, Cedar of Lebanon and coffee beans.
The manufacturer classifies it as fougère-fruity-aqueous while some websites prefer woody-aromatic. To me, both in theory and in practice, it’s very clear that is a woody-fruity.
On the skin, the opening is full of life and also juicy, with many nuances of the essential oil of bergamot, in addition to the grapefruit and a touch of ginger. The evolution is slow and very pleasant. About 2 hours after application, a salty nuance emerges as a result of the oceanic accord, called by Ferrari as “blue ocean accord”. Then, a light and woody base begins to appear, bringing the cedar, main ingredient of this composition.
In particular, I see a few problems in this fragrance. Unlike the musk of Essence Musk, which shines like the star, the Cedar in here is not as strong as expected, losing ground to the fruity notes of the composition. In addition, the base of the fragrance had everything to be magnificent, but the patchouli was lost somewhere along the way and never came back. Coffee beans? I am still looking for.
But that does not make Cedar Essence a bad fragrance. Just different from what we think when we see the olfactory pyramid. On the other hand, it is a scent that attracts compliments, fits our climate (Brazil) and is perfect for those who enjoy lighter fragrances for everyday use. And I’m going further: I can see a bigger number of sales for Cedar Essence than for Essence Oud, at least in Brazil.
Another important aspect to be highlighted is that the Essence Collection values for raw materials of better quality and this, in no way, means that all the fragrances from the collection are bombs of projection and durability, as many tend to confuse.
And for those who always ask me about olfactory references, I’d say that although different, Cedar Essence represents to the Essence Collection what Starwalker represents to Mont Blanc: lightness, elegance and sophistication.
In short: the bottle is beautiful, the fragrance has Italian style, it fits our climate and has good lasting. For an Eau de Parfum, deserved greater projection, but nothing that a reapplication can not resolve.

Burst of fresh mint and oranges in the opening. Last around 4-5hrs which is not at bad for a summer fragnance. One of the best fragnances from the ferrari house. The bottle looks simple and good. Projection is ok.

J’adore!
I got this last week as a blind buy because I love cedar and haven’t been able to stop wearing it since – I LOVE IT
It isn’t exactly what I had expected – I was anticipating something a bit more “woody” and cedar-y, but I was more than pleasantly surprised, in fact I was enraptured by the sublime harmony of notes – it really is exquisitely beautiful.
The opening is seductively enigmatic with a citrus tang that I initially thought was mandarin, a hint of mint and watery something and sweetness of watermelon with a woody accompaniment of cedar.
Then the citrus/orange note fades as the scent evolves and the aquatic “je ne sais quoi” becomes more pronounced, leading into the dry-down dominated by the woodiness of cedar and patch with coffee, although I find the latter to be either almost undetectable or so perfectly blended that it harmonises effortlessly.
Sillage is quite substantial at first, and I confess that I can be a bit heavy handed sometimes – I spray or dab gently to my wrists, chest, base of the neck and behind the ears, and the scent is so pleasant that even if (as I have a tendency to) one applies a bit too much, you won’t cause anyone in an elevator to gag or asphyxiate – instead, bystanders usually smile and inhale the aroma with visible pleasure, and a young guy in the supermarket came up and told me I smelled fantastic today.
I mainly wear this during the day and longevity is good, but not as good as I’d like, since my skin seems to be a bit particular about fragrances, yet I’d say I get a decent four to six hours in late Spring in Sydney, with temperatures ranging between 22 and 30 degrees Celsius, sunny with moderate humidity.
If you like cedar or woody fragrances in general, I would recommend this as a definite BUY.

I walked into a perfume store not sure which scent i wanted, I asked the lady attending to me which scent she could recommend. She quickly picked out Ferrari Cedar Essence and in her own words said “this is love in a bottle”. I have used this fragrance for a couple of months now and i must say it solicits positive reactions from the females. This is a must have in your collection of scents.

I bought this cologne yesterday and so far so good, am getting all sorts of positive reactions from colleagues. The longevity is good and its a perfect scent for the weekend.

Ck one summer 2011 if you want find some similar. It’s refreshing synthetic but in a good way. Feel like the burst of energy in a botlle.

I tried this today while I was in the mall. This is an ok fresh scent which I like it mostly on the dry down. I detected strong synthetic sea notes, synthetic orange and cedar, not my type actually but I think it Reminds me of Lalique White that I tried last year. Sillage is good for the first two to three hours then it becomes a skin scent. Longevity is also good for a summer scent which lasted on my skin for around 5 hours for two sprays only.
