Cedrat Boisé is very noticeable, but without that cheerful opening. At this niche price point, lacking character is hard to stomach.

I agree with those who commented on its olfactory proposal. On paper, I loved it: a dark, characterful citrus, like a ‘bad boy’. The issue is on skin: after half an hour it fades significantly, and by an hour it’s only detectable in my personal bubble. Incredibly poor performance for 250 euros, what a shame.
