Port Orford Cedar

The note unfolds with a strikingly clean, vibrant, and almost luminous woody character, distinct from the drier, pencil-shavings quality of Virginian cedar or the animalic richness of Atlas cedar. It presents a fresh, almost coniferous greenness, often accompanied by subtle hints of mint or camphor, which lend it an invigorating, crisp edge. Beneath this initial brightness, there's a creamy, slightly sweet undertone, a soft, almost milky resinousness that adds depth and a smooth texture. Its intensity is moderate yet persistent, offering excellent longevity as a heart-to-base note, without overpowering the composition. The projection is gentle but discernible, creating an aura of grounded freshness. It evolves beautifully, softening from its initial sharp, aromatic greenness into a more rounded, warm, and sophisticated woody embrace, often revealing whispers of a light, almost grapefruit-like zest that hints at its unique chemical profile.
