With this question as the starting point — What if cedar were a man? What if cedar were a woman? — Quintessence Paris has created two distinct olfactory portraits: Homme Roi and Femme Cèdre Iris. Each is contained in a glass flacon, colored to reflect its identity: deep blue for Homme, delicate pink for Femme. Homme Roi is a tribute to raw strength and grounded nobility — an aromatic expression of cedar at its most imposing. This fragrance speaks in deep, smoky tones, evoking ancient forests, carved wood, and the quiet authority of nature. It is the scent of the mountain’s shadow, of ancestral landscapes and fireside rituals — a fragrance that lingers like memory carved in stone. Femme Cèdre Iris expresses the feminine soul of cedar — floral, luminous, and richly layered. It opens with a gentle bloom of rose and clove, before unfolding into a heart of woodland florals and warm resins. The base anchors it in strength, carried by cedar and vetiver, softened by musks and tonka.
