Black Stone vs Cedrus

Shared character

Both fragrances are classified as WOODY, carry a woody accord, and contain the shared notes of musk, woody notes, floral notes, balsamic notes and smoke.

How they differ

Black Stone and Cedrus belong to the same WOODY family and share a woody accord, plus common notes of musk, woody, floral, balsamic and smoke. Their divergence lies in the rest of the composition. Black Stone adds a broad palette of floral and green elements – rose, tuberose, ylang‑ylang, lily‑of‑the‑valley, white blossoms, amber, leather, ginger, tangerine, citrus, green notes and a powdery‑creamy character – and is described with floral, green, powdery and creamy accords. Cedrus, by contrast, is built around a narrower set of woody‑spice ingredients – cedarwood, sandalwood, vetiver, benzoin and pink pepper – and does not introduce any unique accords beyond the shared woody one.

Who each suits

Black Stone is likely to appeal to wearers who enjoy complex, multi‑layered scents with prominent floral, green, citrus and creamy nuances, as well as richer elements such as amber and leather. Cedrus is oriented toward those who prefer a more streamlined woody profile centered on cedar, sandalwood, vetiver and a hint of pink pepper spice.
