Description
A new fragrance from luxurious collection, Armani Prive, by the house of Giorgio Armani was introduced in April 2009. The fragrance Cedre Olympus was inspired by Gods of the Olympus, as well as precious tree sorts – cedar and pine. Breezes which bring a touch of sea and salt play beneath the mountain of Gods, Olympus, fondling our senses with a beautiful mixture of natural aromas.
This reinterpretation of sun-bathed regions, along with the winds fondling our imagination with marine air, salts, woody accords and citruses gives the perfect final touch to perfume Armani Prive Cedre Olympe.
Bitter orange, bergamot, lemon tree leaves, resins, solar accords and salty sea breeze, along with clear and powerful cedar and pine accords are combined in honour of Gods of the Olympus and were inspired by their strength, power and Aegean Sea coast.

Cèdre Olympe opens distinctly pungent with bitter orange and bergamot, quite spicy. Omnipresent from opening to dry down, pine and cedar backbone the composition in shades of green and brown lending complexity in their contrast of crispness and austere woodiness. Quite linear until now, the dry down is deeply resinous and woody – mellow and suave.
Very masculine leaning for unisex scent. Longevity is good at 8-10 hours, shorter in very hot conditions. Sillage is heavy-cum moderate.
A debonair woody-citrus scent quite unlike any other. A shame this was discontinued.

Hello, I’m new here as a member, but have been reading reviews for some time now and though I’ve been a scent addict all my 59 years, I’m just barely enlightened in the language of fragrances.
Cedre Olympe is a beautiful scent. I hope the learn how to distinguish the notes, but do recognize that 20 minutes into my first spray, cedar and pine joust for attention.
I don’t anticipate any disappointment as it unfold upon my wrist.
Thanks to all of the contributors here for the insights that you share,

This is a truly lovely scent.
I’ve been testing this now for about two weeks trying to decide between purchasing this or Vetiver Babylone which has a similar citrus/woody vibe; albeit much sweeter. Ultimately I made the plunge on a full bottle of Cèdre Olympe. I find this to be a far more interesting and certainly longer lasting and more powerful. For me the cedar note is quite a bit stronger than the citrus but the pungent lemon tree leaves still make quite an impact. This really is a wonderful combination of strong fresh citrus and an earthy cedar with a dash of pine.
While it’s listed as unisex, I think this might be a bit cedar heavy for the ladies (not that there’s anything wrong with ladies who wish to smell like cedar!).
Big thumbs up!
