In a nutshell

Description & review snapshot

Granado Cedro opens with an airy musk supported by crisp hibiscus and subtle hibiscus seed, giving the top a dry, herbal feel. As the top notes quiet down, the scent shifts toward clean cedarwood and soft cashmere musk touched by saffron. The base settles into a smooth cedar and sandalwood foundation warmed by amber. …

Reviews →

Dragon opens with a hot splash of cinnamon and bittersweet saffron, backed by soft peach flesh and tart raspberry. Warm amber and dry incense settle into the heart beside a lush Turkish rose, while cashmere musk and vanilla soften the dry-down into a thick, cozy skin scent for cold autumn evenings.
