Creed Bois de Cedrat.
Whether I’m creating a fine interior for someone or planning my wardrobe, I’m always looking to stimulate all of the senses. Needless to say, I do spend some time addressing olfactory concerns, and when coordinating my wardrobe, choosing the right fragrance is a must. Spring will quickly spill into Summer and as the weather warms I like to wear a lighter fragrance. One of my favorites is the fresher than fresh Bois de Cedrat by Creed. It’s a delicious mix that includes Sicilian lemon and cedar wood.
Georges Braque
As with many of the Creed fragrances Bois de Cedrat has a history – In fact the great Cubist painter Georges Braque who had a house near the Creed family preferred this particular Creed blend. Interestingly Braque trained as a decorator early in his career so we do have a certain affinity towards his work, and we’re not ashamed to say that on aesthetic merit we’d take a Braque over a Picasso any day! – but that’s a discussion for another post. In any case I’d like to think that a splash of Bois de Cedrat brings a bit of Braque’s heightened sensibility to any Summer outfit I wear.
Dear James,
Thank you for informing me about G. Braque ! I had no idea he started out as a decorateur… very interesting. Love the Creed line too, this fragrance sounds very warm and refreshing for Spring/Summer….

Love Braque, and I agree, I’d take some of his analytic paintings over Picasso.
Interesting anecdote, it seems to be the perfect summer fragrance!
uber fab!
My ex boyfriend used always Creed, one of the most delicious fragances!

Ich liebe alle Creed Parfums mein lieber James! Was sind Deine Osternpläne?
Hola James,
No sabía esa historia gracias por contárnosla!
I’ve developed an even better appreciation for this fragrance with the additional note of Braque added. The lemon is the trick,perfect for summer.
