Bois De Cedre EDT is made by Karl Lagerfeld. Its strength is Eau de Toilette.

The usual price in Europe is about €33. That makes it one of the more affordable picks. It costs less than Dior Fahrenheit and Giorgio Armani Acqua di Gio Essenza.
Who will like it
The strongest accord is aromatic (100%), followed by ozonic and citrus. You will probably like it if you enjoy aromatic and ozonic smells and notes like sea salt and cedar. Less obvious notes include bergamot, geranium and musk. Perfume fans rate it 3.71 out of 5.
Longevity on skin
It lasts a medium time, about 3 to 6 hours on skin. As an Eau de Toilette, it is lighter than an Eau de Parfum, so it fades sooner.
