Spanish Cedar Eau de Parfum, from Czech & Speake was released in 2014. The perfumer behind this creation is unknown. It has the top notes of Bergamot, middle notes of Blackberry, Cloves, Galbanum, and Plum, and base notes of Cedarwood, Guaiac Wood, and Sandalwood.
Spanish Cedar opens with a sharp and contrasting combination of fruity plum, blackberry and bergamot, with spicy clove and bitter galbanum. The fruity notes are well blended and smell high quality, however the clove note is very overpowering and while not unpleasant, comes off very mature. As it dries down, the fruitiness begins to dissipate while the clove persists and a woody base of cedar, sandalwood and guaiac wood emerges. Ultimately this becomes a cedar and clove dominant fragrance which is quite strong and bitter around the edges. This fragrance isn’t really my sort of scent, although that doesn’t make it bad. It’s very mature and masculine, I imagine this would work well for men over 50 as it smells very classical and old fashioned. I feel like you really have to enjoy clove and bitter woodiness to enjoy this fragrance.
