The citrus notes are nice but overall this is very synthetic-smelling. I don’t know if it’s Ambroxan, Cedramber, Iso E Super, or whatever else is in here, but I really don’t like the stuff in this combination. I don’t know how to describe it but it vaguely smells like sweet plastic is burning. I get this effect to varying degrees from a lot of modern scents, so the culprit is certainly some woody synthetic or combo of synthetics.
Initially, this does smell similar to Light Blue for women, which I also cannot stand. Cedre Atlas is more tolerable, but it’s still a no for me.
virus902901 – :
pleasant.very similar to the mancera cedrat boise, but without nauseating notes, as in mancera
устал качать – :
Im getting so much sour cassis, no citrus really. The wood is hiden underneath the sour cassis and is honesty a generic iso super woodyness and not what I think of being ceder.
I actualy quite like this, but I do like tart scents quite a bit. This is a bit too liner and I wish the ceder note was more genuine. Its like a wood scent for people who dont like wood
Its worth noting that I still can smell 2 sprays on wrist after 8 hours.

There are a number of Atelier Colognes that devolve into plain white floral / wood combos—this is definitely one of them. That in and of itself, while not interesting, is at least not awful. But there’s some weird and frankly off-putting fruit that I find to be dominating in this composition. Apricot, sure—but very synthetic. The papyrus here is the same from Philtre Ceylan, which I find to be extremely scratchy and grating. And then blackcurrant—the synthetic version of which I find to be just cloying, makes its face known. Yuck.
I’m a fan of woody fragrances, but that’s most certainly in the background here. It’s not cedar-focused. It’s a sporty men’s scent, and I’m sure it is reminiscent of any 100 designer scents you might pick up. Not worth its niche pricing, not worth considering a unique composition by any means. Like any other AC, there’s a big citrus opening. It lasts for all of ten minutes. The whole fragrance lasts for maybe two hours. I hated it, but at least I didn’t have to stand it for too long. (3/10)

Tried in Sephora and asked for a 2ml sample; so glad I didn’t buy it based on my first impression of it. On the paper strip it really does convey a cold cedar element with the right twinge of funk but on my skin it recedes into something boring and “drugstore men’s fragrance” immediately. After drydown on me it does send off a pleasant hint of citrus but otherwise I can’t really go for it.

Smells like a man. Not “unisex”
at all. I don’t like this. Wearing
in the Summer at night time ’18
shahboz-91 – :
This is almost exactly D&G Light Blue for women in the opening but definitely higher quality and almost exactly Byredo Super Cedar in the dry down with just a bit of the citrus still hanging on. It has decent projection in the opening then it settles pretty quickly but the longevity is good considering that this has a lot of iso e super so it may seem spotty for some because many seem to go nose blind to that molecule. Anyway point is, if you’re not a fan of iso e super stay away from this fragrance, but it is a nice enough unisex summer scent with good quality even though most will either hate it or love it right off the top.
I personally prefer Super Cedar over this because it’s more versatile and ovoids the harsh citrus opening that can come off a little in you face for the first few minutes in this as well as in Light Blue and even Hermès Citron Noir, which I would put in this same catagory of citrusy woody scents. But if you like this but don’t wanna splash the cash Light Blue is a great cheaper alternative although it it is a bit fresher.
Overall this isn’t a bad scent at all and I can see a lot of people in hotter climates loving it but also a lot of sensitive noses hating it. I like it but I wouldn’t recommend a blind buy of this, and there’s just no room for it in my collection at the moment.
Eldiyar – :
I was intrigued by the initial image presented for this perfume, that of a cool woodsy scent. Well, it’s woodsy all right, but I don’t think I’d categorize this as “cool.” The opening notes were vaguely citron, and I was afraid it would turn into bug spray, but the strong cedar usurped it – to the point where I thought I smelled logs burning. Not in the same sense as Atelier’s “Santal Carmin” or Maison Margiela’s “By the Fireplace,” not a fireplace… outdoors. And a little wet. This perfume literally smells like camping in the deep woods. So if you’re stuck in a cubicle five days a week and dream of trekking toe Pacific Northwest (or a similar area of natural beauty near you), then you might actually love this perfume. But if you’re not the outdoorsy type, then (like me) you’ll want to pass on this.

Got a sample of this and a few others, but this one stood out.
At first, very harsh scent, you’ve got to let this settle for a few minutes. When it does, MAN, when it does- very lovely! very Tom Ford grey vetiver but with a slight hint of cedar. Side by side GV starts out lysol-ish but after a few hours settles down to a nice clean smell. Cedre starts out with a huge cedar not, then mellows down to a nice vetiver( clean bar soap ) with a lemon hint while maintaining the cedar.
Projection is not huge, longevity- eh! maybe 4 hours. very much so a skin scent. Everytime i got hugged, i got a huge pause and . “oh! damn! you smell good!”
i got a little sample and put it in an atomizer- 5 sprays- 2 on the wrist, 2 on the neck, and one shirt. In a smokey bar, i still got compliments.
This is very up close and personal fragrance, but performs well.
I had high hopes for Tom Ford Grey Vetiver EDP, this one does Not project that well, but it outshines it from opening to close- deifnatley buying a FB. great subtle summer scent, i could see it pairing with aqua di gio, although i’m afraid aqua would overpower it. This has that nuance that Aqua does not.
Hecbr – :
This is not the cedar I am looking for.
This is sharp men’s cologne smell with a slight fruitiness. It’s not even very woody. It was a relief to read the reviews and see that I’m not the only one smelling this.
lopar61 – :
On paper: Eh.
On skin: This one smells like a high-quality men’s cologne to me. Cedar, and citrus that is definitely a blend of lemon and lime. It’s surprisingly nice scent.
Lasted two hours without really changing.
aarwuxbbwd – :
Pretty disappointing. I was hoping for a woodsy spicy green citrus and instead I got a very standard generic “fresh scent” not a lot different from a baby wipe. It went away so fast. I almost thought something was wrong with the bottle. All I can smell 5 hrs. later is a hint of greeny vetiver. That makes 2 strikes with the Atelier Cologne. Thankfully just a few shelves down is the Tom Ford where I am up there with a 30% success rate.
nikkk – :
I tried this for an hour tonight but my nose couldn’t get past the fuzzy, astringent molecule that some are identifying as iso e super. I don’t know if that’s what it really is, but if so I must be very sensitive to it. I’ve noticed it in other fragrances to a point where I felt like it was burning my nostrils out and it’s such a bummer. Jealous of people who aren’t sensitive to it. Both of the guys I was hanging with at the time said it smelled nice to them so I ended up giving the rest of my sample away to one of them. Opening notes I noticed during that hour aside from isoesuper were perhaps lemon, black current, and maybe cedar. The notes do somewhat resemble D&G Light Blue, but LB is far better for me as a refreshing summer scent. Sample first, not a safe blind buy.
paulburner231 – :
Pretty sure this is an attempt at a niche version of Bleu de Chanel edp.
Not sure the two can be married though. What makes Bleu special to me is it’s unimposing class. A designer scent nobody would find offensive yet some can fall in love with. It’s as special as you’d like it to be. Waiting for you to appreciate it more without making demands.
This. Is. Not. That.
This takes all the subtle beauties of Bleu and turns them up to 10.
This says. Smell me. Smell how much better my notes are. You thought that ripe sour citrus in Bleu was nice? Here’s that and an almost rotten apricot for good measure.
This smells desperate to impress. Not impress everyone though. Desperate to impress people who think they want natural quality ingredients that justify the high price.
When something smells like it’s about to spoil I guess it gives the impression of natural.
I’ve tried to listen to the noise. Tried to detect a rhythm.
But unlike say emeraulde agar which is noisy yet musical, this atelier just pounds out discordant notes.
Wanted to like. Can’t.
ivancross – :
HELLO Ambroxan! Not a bad fragrance if used sparingly. Smelled like generic “men’s cologne” on me but smelled sexy on my husband.
DO NOT overspray.
fxe565InsuffBooni – :
On my skin it smells as though JHAG not a perfume, D&G Light blue, and Jo Malone wood sage and sea salt had a love child. Super light lemon and cedar that plays with the senses and evokes a night out in the summer. Fresh spicy, which I love. Let’s see how the staying power goes, as none of the above except for JM last more than an hour or so on me.
larybakinna – :
Absolutely hate it. I couldn’t even leave it on my skin to see how it evolves. Must have great staying power, because even after scrubbing with dishwashing soap it still lingers. I don’t think I would like this on anyone else, man or woman.
Harsh, synthetic kick in the nose. Love other Atelier fragrances but this one is seriously unpleasant for me.
goblin1989 – :
Ambroxan, Iso E Super, and Cedramber. Pretty sharp, but can also smell fresh. It all depends on skin chemistry. Perfect as a burst of cleanliness in small amounts, or as a layering scent to freshen overly dull or heavy fragrances.
lili1533 – :
Didn’t expect to like this based on *voted* pyramid, but a kind Fragrantician-friend sent a manufacturer sample.
Wow! If you like Atelier’s Jasmin Angélique, you will love this too. There’s a similar Jasmine-and-Incense note that opens alongside the citrus.
The user-votes give Cedar top billing (by a huge margin), but that’s not what I’m getting on skin. Even if you’re iffy on cedar, give this a try. It’s not what you’d expect. There’s zero trace of sharp pencil shavings, and works perfectly unisex.
KeksDil – :
I am in love with this fragrance. It is in my top 5 of all time favorites. I think the bad reviews are because it doesn’t mesh well with other people’s skin. When I spray it on me, it is pure heaven. And it stays that way, all day. LOVE LOVE LOVE. I think it’s probably one of the best Atelier fragrances. I even bought a bigger bottle.
fee539elipseskism – :
I dislike.
Synthetic feelings about cedre…
No it’s not cedre it didn’t even sit near cedre.
vituha409 – :
Très belle proposition d’Atelier Cologne. Je ne lui trouve pas particulièrement de similarités avec les parfums précédemment cités surtout avec Light Blue, plus piquant et moins suave que Cèdre Atlas .
tekallkjobans – :
Has a strong similarity to Burberry The Beat but without the strong pepper note. I like it when I sprayed it on the tester, but I don’t think I’d wear this scent much, it’s not that strong and I like a bit stronger scent than this.
starslight – :
The Iso E Super is strong with this one. A lot of people in their reviews are complaining of the astringency and harshness of this scent. Those people are likely more sensitive to Iso E Super. While I don’t think this is a bad fragrance and I am not sensitive to Iso E Super I don’t think this an amazing fragrance either. Mainly because I feel this scent is linear with the only note being Iso E super. Cedre Atlas reminds me of Molecule 01.
6.5/10
TL;DR – Nice scent, although a one-note show of Iso E Super.
genahairov – :
Has similar notes as “Gentlewoman”, but sweeter and way more tame. It starts off cold, metallic, very citrusy, but then it moves into something that is really deep woods and something sticky sweet. It’s good, but really mild and reserved and doesn’t seem to know what it wants to be, mimicking something someone might make in their kitchen sink. 6.5/10
alextal – :
It smell like shaik 70. Is not?
kuss-tik – :
I’ve loved just about every Atelier Cologne I’ve ever tried, especially the citrus-focused ones, and their opening phases in particular. Cèdre Atlas, I’m afraid, is the exception: it doesn’t seem to agree with me at all.
The usual slightly sweetened citrus that I know and like is there, but it does smell a lot like Light Blue in this one, and what’s worse: it’s overwhelmed by some unpleasantly dominant other note all through its development. I guess it must be the cedar, only it doesn’t smell woody at all to me, just cold and synthetic and very sharp – it actually feels like it’s burning my nose a little, and I feel a headache coming on. I’ve never experienced anything like it with a perfume! If this is what ambroxan and/or iso-e-super smell like, I guess I’ll have to avoid them in future, if my reaction to this one is anything to judge by. Too bad, but they can’t all be winners!
kana_6789 – :
Similar to Coach Citrine and DG light Blue. Refreshing. Good for summer. Nothing special.
maxbani – :
Nice fragrance; reminds me of the acidic sharpness that’s in Bond No 9 Riverside Drive maybe even the shaprness in Versace Man Fraiche. Perhaps a bit on the astringent and potent side of things. This is very citrusy with lots of lemon, yet sweet and fresh.
I like it though…after smelling this for some time, I was trying to place what this reminded me of; when I got home I asked my wife if she liked this one and immediately she says, “this smells like Bond No 9 Riverside Drive, you know the one I couldn’t stand when I was pregnant?” Yep, I knew it…
That sucks, because I like this one and I really wanted her to like it as well. I discovered what this reminded me of and I knew once I walked into the house and asked her opinion, she would say it…..and she did! Cut me straight to the core!!
Oh well, on to the next Atelier fragrance, I am on roll!!
Overall a nice fragrance to have in your wardrobe; Projection was great and longevity was on the plus side.
gneloyglaz – :
This is harsh, astringent, sharp and acidic.
Only wear it if you want to a.) kill someone or b.) strip paint off your walls.
This does not evolve or change over time.
It’s very sharp and unpleasant. I hate it.
zosia86 – :
OK I’m gonna make a couple of really odd comparisons here, but just hear me out.. ..
The opening of this fragrance is pretty expected, but what I DIDN’T expect, is well into the drydown, there’s an amazing cleanliness to this! To me, the scent reminds me of two things: 1) the skin-scent left behind after using Irish Spring, a while after the scent has calmed down. 2) the left-behind aroma of a clean bathroom (or kitchen sink) after using Comet cleanser, after everything has fully dried and you’re marveling upon your freshly cleaned domicile.
Don’t get me wrong, this stuff doesn’t smell like “bathroom cleaner and overly-fragranced soap” but it is clean and pleasing, and I’m just doing my best to compare it to an everyday aroma or feeling. Longevity is fair for what I expected of this cologne, and I swear the longer it goes on, the more I like it even as it fades away. I could see myself owning a bottle of this.
kochalovandrei – :
This is an oddity to me because it seems to go from one end of the spectrum to the other.
What im talking about is sort of a sour/balsamic or vinegary type of vibe but then I also, at other times, get that Iso E Super and ambroxan smell to it and yes, Dior Sauvage does come to mind.
The way some talk about apricot, then maybe that’s the acidic aroma I’m getting. What I love is the Ambroxan which within Sauvage’s review I have described as a hazey type of smell.
Cedar is not the main character here.
larriissa – :
For me absolutely is not similar to Light blue DG. This scent has in himself a resin from the wood…? Is beautiful and exotic. Citruses and wood- deep notes.
Definitely unisex. Hight Quality.
Meddox – :
An initial blast of cedar and then it’s all ambroxan (or iso-super-e or whatever it is) and what smells like grapefruit though I guess it’s the lemon/lime. Definitely shades of Light Blue here but with a TON of ambroxan. Intellectually I don’t think this is a particularly good perfume – it’s not interesting, it relies too much one one ingredient – but… I actually enjoy it! I also, against my better judgment, like JHaG’s Not a Perfume which is nothing *but* ambroxan so I guess I’m just a sucker for this particular molecule. To be fair Cedre Atlas at least has some other things going on that support the ambroxan, giving it a juicier quality (from the fruits) along with an airy, woody quality (the cedar and possibly the papyrus). To me this seems to be a crowd pleaser but it’s probably a bit boring if you have a more educated nose.
mitekbar – :
@freakypirate I couldn’t agree more. This is a straight-up iso-e-super + ambroxan bomb, to the point that it begins to resemble some Escentric Molecules fragrances. That said, it still smells great, like a more complex and niche version of Dior Sauvage. If you’re looking for a more “grown-up” version of that popular fragrance check this out for sure (or Escentric 02 by Escentric Molecules)
memomirikato – :
Smell very similar to Burberry The Beat for men but smoother and without the pungent/plastic-y sweetness in the background like The Beat. However, although it is enjoyable to wear, the price versus the price of The Beat is unreasonable.
alsu.sobaka – :
Review from a dabber sample:
This scent contains so much iso-e-super that it is impossible for me to detect most other notes. I do smell something citrus-fruity in the opening but from thereon it is only iso-e-super. My nose is very sensitive to this molecule and it makes me miss out on a lot of scents. Boo!
Grishec – :
This may be the longest lasting Atelier cologne I’ve ever smelled. It starts off strong, with a sterile, astringent-like smell, but dries down to a nice clean, citrus that comes off much more sophisticated and formal than traditional citrus scents. It reminds me very much of Kenneth Cole Black.
homyacha – :
one of my close friends is a chef, and he frequently speaks about the collective groan fellow chefs make whenever they taste food and it’s laden with sugar.
sugar makes all food taste better.
there is no artistry in putting heaps of sugar in your dish.
the artistry is in making food taste good without ‘cheating’ with sugar.
this perfume cheats with iso e super (or ambroxan, i mix the two up). stale feline urine mixed with iso e super (or whatever aromachemical is used) smells good. there is no artistry and you just feel like you’ve been lied to and cheated.
the iso e is so strong in this. there’s no real cedar smell, it is overpowered, which is quite disappointing…
fenix77759 – :
Atelier Cologne Cedre Atlas is an odd take on cedar. It’s a far fresher and fruitier experience than it is a woody one, so the name is a bit misleading. It opens with citrus blackcurrant but they all give way to the apricot in the heart, which ruins the fragrance for me within a few minutes of applying. Perhaps the apricot was dropped, it would be a more pleasant blend, as the mix of notes seems great, and it should logically be a fresh woody, perhaps refined, but the apricot note simply isn’t one I want to smell in a perfume. The base is pretty standard–I don’t get much amber but I get plenty of vetiver.
Many seem to laud Cedre Atlas’ performance, but its performance is pretty poor on my skin–not much projection even after applying almost half of a 2ml sample. Performance notwithstanding, it’s simply not something for me. Available at typical retail pricing of $125 for 100ml, it’s a decent option for those that love it, and there’s certainly a group of apricot lovers that this may work for, but it’s certainly a bit of a deviant cedar fragrance as far as I can tell.
5 out of 10
ixfavm2 – :
How in the world is this not more talked about and how in the heck is the “like” bar over the “love” bar in the ratings?! I also get very very good longevity and above average projection and I am one who has to spray a little more than the average as things generally don’t seem to last very long for me. I am just shocked.
Anyways, I think this a the poster fragrance for a signature scent. This is a very very pleasing scent that garners so many complements. This and Santal Carmin are the only two I have smelled from the house and I am very very impressed. I am always on the hunt for things that everyone else is not wearing, that why I collect niche mainly and dont have many creed or bonds as everyone wears them.
This is the PERFECT citrus with a fresh cur piece of Cedar wood base and opening. I am very impressed how long it lasts too as citrus summer scents usually dont last this long. I highly encourage one to get a sample of this off ebay like i did for $4.oo, it came in three days and once I put it on my hand, it was over. Full bottle on the way. Now this is one I love to wear in the warmer weather and I get soooo many complements. Look at the opinions on youtube and you will see others love this too and get great longevity also.
Scent 9/10
longevity 9/10
projection 8/10
quality 9/10
overall 9/10 and I highly recommend.
liasseapentee – :
I like this scent on others, but evergreen wood scents like this are often at odds with my skin. I had hoped the citrus and jasmine would cut the ceder enough for us to get along, but I found Cedre Atlas ever-present and overwhelming. This, and others I’ve tried from this line, also seem very much on the masculine side to me. I got the little Collection Azur set from Sephora, and can only wear the Magnolia. The others I gave to my husband. They’re all very potent and long-lasting, and this one is especially so. One spritz on my wrist transferred a little to my sweater sleeve, which kept the fragrance right up to laundry day.
maaliinkaa – :
EDIT: This is some potent stuff. I washed my hands at least three times since I put this on my hand, and it’s still projecting. WoW!!!
So I just stepped into Sephora before I went to get food for lunch and decided to spray this on. I must say, this is a very nice scent. Not something I need at the moment, but maybe I’ll buy the little travel vile they sell at Sephora in a week or two. Not bad!
СТакаН – :
If the lemon would ever fade or soften, I might be able to like this. Alas, something about my skin focuses in on it and blasts it to the exclusion of all else. At the nozzle, I get no lemon at all; it’s a lovely, somewhat soft, cedar. On paper, the lemon fades away. And even, pressing my nose to my wrist I can smell the cedar’s potential under the lemon. Yet, the projection is ALL lemon. And it isn’t even a nice lemon on me; it’s a lemon that fell off the tree yesterday and has spent the day in the hot sun.
SLAVA-341 – :
I get a lot of compliments when I wear this. I’m not exactly sure why, as it’s nothing unusual, or amazing in my opinion, but I think it has to due with the fact that it has great sillage. It projects in a way that really gets out there without feeling heavy or stuffy or offensive in any way. And it’s a very pleasant scent. With Cedre Atlas you more or less get a bright top of fruit, in this case apricot, over a clean, woody cedar base. The combination works very well for me and people around me seem to love it. While it doesn’t smell like them, Cedre Atlas falls into the same league as scents like Aventus, Cedrat Boise, and Scent of Peace for Him–scents which feature bright, appealing fruit accords over woody bases. Cedre Atlas is versatile, great for work or your daily business, and generally a clean, modern wear. I’ve found that it has excellent performance, giving me about 8 hours of longevity with that really excellent projection and sillage I mentioned earlier. Though it’s not groundbreaking, this release by Atelier is effective at what it does and pleasing all around. Once it’s in your wardrobe you’ll be happy it’s there. Thumbs up!
maks_kera – :
Is it just me or does this smell EXACTLY like Black XS by Paco Rabanne? Any one else shares my opinion?
ghjrehjh – :
To me, Cedre Atlas smells nothing like cedar. It smells like the woodish aromachemicals which this house uses to fill its large bottles. You can say that the name is a metaphor, but it’s really not at all mysterious what cedar smells like. Cedar closets smell like cedar. Cedar essential oil smells like cedar. Some great perfumes by Serge Lutens and other houses (especially the wonderful iris-cedar compositions!) smell splendidly like cedar. Not this, however.
I am sure that there are youngsters out there who have been conditioned to believe that this is a pleasing scent. Alas, I am “une femme d’un certain age” who wore perfume long before the big fat “niche” bubble. Not for me. Not surprised, given my past experiences with Atelier Cologne.
yvz751speagoessenda – :
Great refreshing and energizing scent, intense version of DG light blue and more woody, similar to Oribe cote d’azur.
aa-parfenov – :
This scent is my favorite at the moment, so clean but woody , it is a strong fragrance that demands attention but def not over powering or intimidating, called unisex and I think it def can be worth by both sex’s! Love love love! However it’s a bit expensive from the more average scents however this collection has any where from 15-18% pure perfume in it, so it’s worth every penny! ALWAYS looking for a sale so please message me!
rost.rand – :
I’m never one to shy away from controversy. I definitely get the Cedar. I love this one for it’s strong personality. I love that there are just as many dislikes are there are likes. I find this one fresh and definitely more masculine in nature.
EDIT: This one is my favourite out of the line. I am surprised at that since it took me months to figure this out. I thought I liked the Gold Leather, or Oud Saphir, or one of the others much more. But I was wrong. I like this one for its character. As rich and opulent as some of the others are in this line. I have found that they can become synthetically cloying to me even though I love the way the smell. This one I find leaves fresh wafts every time you move.
kurzman121 – :
I get to cedar, citrus, and vetiver upon initial application. It dries down to cedar and vetiver. The strong cedar note comes off a bit cloying to my nose. Just not my preference. For me, projection and sillage are moderate.
Mesbo150Negeltzex – :
I’m definitely going to review this on my channel, very versatile fragrance.
PreorypreeseE – :
Love love love this scent! If interested in swapping, selling yours please message me!
Ideotoliede – :
Upon first spritz, this fragrence blooms from a ripe citrus to a heavy wet wood scent laced with traces of bergamot and vetiver. It’s brown and green, strong and natural. It puts me in mind of taking a cold hike in a ceder forest. I believe this scent is better suited for a man or a very strong woman as it isn’t a delicate fragrence. The big downside is that it does dry down quickly and disapears long before you’re ready to let go.
demonldg – :
This fragrance is a very strong, fresh, seemingly natural cedar woody scent. It smells like 98% cedar and maybe 1% citrus and 1% aquatic to my nose. I received a sample and it’s definitely on the more “masculine” side of the unisex spectrum. If you are in the market for a quality cedar, this is it. Longevity is strong and projection is moderate.
gerasimow77 – :
I get mostly cedar with this so it is accurately named.
A very natural type of cedar (even if it isn’t ) who knows.
The blackcurrant note is the next most prominent note to me.
It is like an expensive version of seduction in black by AB.
This is more linear and the cedar here is stronger. I think it is dry where AB seems juicy.
Maybe the papyrus notes are doing this.
Over all I like how fresh and uplifting this is.
Tried 3 times and I always got the same result.
They ain’t shy about their prices however
Sibirec – :
The first time I tested it on paper and it smelled really nice. The second time I tried it on my wrist and suddenly I have a bad version of the scent I remembered. On one side, I smelled a harsh cedar blends with vetiver, and something a bit green and earthy (I guess it’s papyrus). One the other side, I smelled sweet fruity notes. The problem was these 2 sides didn’t blend together. I feel like one try to overthrow the other. The third time, which is this morning, I sprayed it on my chest and I found the amazing scent that I smelled on the first time. This one starts with cedar and citrus in a gracious way. Other notes will kick in in about 15 mins and keep the scent balance and interesting the whole time. After a few hours you will find almost only a earthy cedar left. Let the scent breath naturally through air to your nose and you will find a beautiful one.
yasha537 – :
looooooooove reminds me of an expensive version of l’occitane verbena cologne so yummy and so fresh , it has a candied kind of thing going on at the beginign is so good, so yummy, perfect for summer i was undecided between this one and cedrant enivrant and this one won because the opening is so good and honestly it is not as sharp in the dry down .
nikolay1984 – :
I was seriously worried about this fragrance, based on the reviews. But thankfully I received a sample and I decided to try it.
Oh, boy… May be my skin or because I’m a guy, but this cologne is fantastic.
Cedar is so common in men’s fragrances, usually standing by itself or with the typical companion of vetiver, sandalwood, pepper and so on.
But what a delight to smell a Cedar blending beautifully with lemon, bergamot and a delicious apricot!
Harsh? NO
Horrible? NO
Pungent? NO
The only con is that it transform into a skin scent after 20 minutes. But I’m pretty sure that during Autumn and Winter this fragrance will perform like a champion.
Again, Cedar, vetiver, bergamot and apricot. Genius!

Three word review: Horrific Burnt Rubber.
Luckily – if there’s ever a topic post about “What to wear to a NASCAR race” or “What to wear when visiting a motorway car fire”, Cedre Atlas is my #1 choice.

As with other atelier colognes it is fresh and citrusy and light. However the generic citrus woody summer scent is reminiscent of designer scents at a much better price. For the asking price this is a big pass. Although I like the scent it only lasts for 1-2 hours with no projection. All atelier I’ve tried have poor performance, Cologne absolute must stand for aftershave or EDC!

Go with the Santal Carmin – it is a smoother version of this. Something in here isn’t right – there is a pungent note that throws the whole thing off. I think it may be the vetiver. I think this would smell much better on a male. Not for women IMO.

My local Sephora SA knows me well, so when I was in she ran up to me and announced that they got their hands on the new quattro from Atelier.
Very masculine where the other offerings in this line are primarily unisex.
Like most from this line opens very citrusy however this is a cedar bomb for sure! Longevity I cannot comment on since I only smelled it on paper.
