Oh for the love of all that is citrus and woodsy! Cèdre & Oranger Eau de Toilette from L’Occitane is a fresh fragrance that has a hold on me these days. This scent is part of the Grasse Collection, inspired by the city of Grasse in Provence. It’s actually a men’s scent (shhh don’t tell anyone) but I for one have always had an affinity for male fragrances. In years past I actually wore them much more than fragrances for women.
Cèdre & Oranger has fragrance notes of fresh orange, lemon and bergamot (a personal favorite) There is a hint of cedar along with vetiver and a musk base. The scent is not at all overly manly like some would assume. When I wear it, it does remind me of a rugged-looking Brad Pitt but that’s just my over-active imagination ;). I feel like this eau de toilette works well for all seasons, another bonus. Nice lasting power, too: two good spritzes and I’m set for 4 to 6 hours.
Available at usa.loccitane.com, $75, 2.5 fl. oz. There are some nice gift sets at great prices, also!

Do you ever go for a men’s fragrance?
This has been my favorite body fragrance EVER!! I am trying to figure out why it’s discontinued. I don’t want anything else. I only enjoy men’s fragrances because women’s are usually too flowery. I just love a good clean, refreshing scent that I don’t tire of. Cèdre Oranger is it. So frustrated it’s no longer available.
Duh, I thought it was a shower gel. It’s a fragrance, lol. I guess I wanted it to be a shower gel. My current scent is Frederick Malle’s Musc Ravageur which is a big, assertive gender-neutral scent.

Ha, no worries I think they have a shower gel in this scent! I will definitely look up the scent you are wearing these days.
My favorite man’s scent was Givenchy Gentlemen. My friend’s now ex-husband used to wear it and I adored that scent. It’s discontinued now (like him), but I bought some a few years ago. I think I would love the Orange and Cedar. L’Occitane had another similarly scented shower gel that I tried at a hotel I stayed at in NYC. I bought a couple of bottles of it, and I liked it a lot, just haven’t thought about it in a while. I just bought some new body wash, but this may be up next!

I haven’t tried this one yet, but I’ve definitely been jealous of L’Occitane’s men’s scents … their women’s scents so pretty boring, which is too bad considering their products can be so good! Love their men’s wood soaps, wish I could convince my boyfriend to use them (a bit too manly for me).

Hi Erin! This is first L’Occitane for men I’ve tried but I actually like several of their women’s scents too (Eau Captivante is a recent favorite). I will have to give a sniff of those wood soaps in store some time! Thanks for stopping by :).
Everything about this sounds perfect! I have used a men’s fragrance but that was long ago.
