Description
The British house of Czech & Speak is launching the new woody-fruity fragrance named Spanish Cedar, inspired by strength and beauty of cedar, which in this olfactive interpretation is enriched with juicy and gourmand fruity notes and fine spices. The composition is created of the finest essential oils providing strong character and high quality development of the fragrance.
“With my new fragrance the cedar is not from Spain but my motives are linked to Spain. Memories of boyhood holidays in Menorca, of sandy coves surrounded by sun bleached pine and cedar trees that would produce an unforgettable resinous smell. This fragrance to me is the memory of these days and the version I have made is an exotic blend of woods, resin, smoky notes balanced with citrus and piquant notes. “
Spanish Cedar has been introduced in 2014 as a woody fragrance intertwining with fruit. Its juicy and gourmand character originates from plum cabined with bergamot, galbanum, cloves and blackberry. The base encompasses a strong trail of cedar enhanced with sandalwood and guaiac wood. The fragrance arrives as 100ml EDP edition at the price of 105 pounds, and can also be ordered at the price of 3 pounds for 1ml.

Spanish Cedar by Czech & Speake
Spanish Ceder is the first men’s EdP strength fragrance from Czech & Speake. The fragrance opens with a delicious, although fleeting, fruity blast of bergamot, blackberry, with a hint of cloves. The opening is almost juicy, like a candied orange or tangerine and I just couldn’t help sniffing my wrist upon first spraying it. After five minutes or so, the fruit starts to dissipate, and Spanish Cedar beings to settle into its resinous, warm and creamy heart of Galbanum, Cedarwood and Sandalwood – and there it remains… for hours and hours. It has superb longevity, and a pleasant, reasonable silage that makes Spanish Cedar an excellent choice for the office or business meetings; although, now that I am wearing it I am imagining myself in a log cabin by a lake somewhere in the mountains of New Hampshire or Vermont.
It was a hot day today, and this fragrance wore very well, but I expect that Spanish Cedar will really shine come wintertime, which is when I am most likely to wear it. This fragrance will appeal to fans of the combination of Cedar and Sandalwood. It is woody, resinous, very masculine, mature, and brings to mind the aroma of a exceptionally well-crafted cigar humidor.
Definitely sample this one if you get the chance.

Been a big fan of C&S No.88 for about 25 years and this new fragrance by C&S sounds terribly appealing…the blackberry & plum notes with the wood notes have the potential to be a surefire winter winner—providing of course that the notes are in good proportion and blended well…really looking forward to giving this one a go…in the meantime, will keep my fingers crossed and will post a review once I’ve given it a whirl.

After the most fleeting (and rather harsh?) bergamot opening I get the cedar, blackberry, clove and tar for sure. The overall impression for me is of fine wine – no boozy note, but rather the wood and fruit you’d get from a good well oaked Cabernet Sauvignon. That and fine cigar boxes so certainly it smells rich and expensive. Anyway I’ll have to give the sample a proper wear but so far thumbs up.
