Juniper instead of cedar, not everyone gets the 10! ;-)
I've already sneaked around the various scents of L'Occitane. The supposed naturalness, the regional image, the brand's unexcitement are what appeal to me. More by chance I discovered that there is a small shop of L'Occitane in Cologne. I already knew that I liked the fragrances "Eau de Cade" and "L'Eau de L'Occitane" from tests in the duty-free area at the airport. Only with "Eau des Baux" I couldn't start that much, it was too herb-smoky for me, a bit too penetrating.
Now it has become "Eau de Cade", which is somewhat more earthy and woody than its almost identical brother "L'Eau de L'Occitane". It has to be said that juniper plays a decisive role here, more precisely the so-called prick or cedar juniper, as the summary on the package also reveals. In the fragrance pyramid you should therefore replace cedar with juniper!!!
Now to the fragrance itself. For me, "Eau de Cade" starts with one of the best top notes I know: fresh, balsamic, herbaceous, to put in. Nothing artificial penetrates into my nose, in addition there is a subtle soapy touch that promises purity. Gradually, the woody takes over the first violin, and it plays virtuously: no sawdust, no ashes, simply fragrant wood, paired with the spice of juniper. But even after two hours the fragrance still remains fresh and peppery in its basic orientation. Chapeau!
With "Eau de Cade" I have certainly found one of those fragrances that I may have been looking for for years. Neither grandpa image nor hipster stuff and all without a disturbing element. Somehow soft and yet striking. And (very important): no comparison to anything that has already come under my nose, so absolutely independent, I think. You can even find yourself cool when someone asks "What's that?" :-) Because here image is nothing and smell everything!
