Perfumer: JULIEN RASQUINET
The scent of paper and the smell of words. A tribute to the lights of Paris and its love of books. Dry woods are enlivened by a shimmer of nutmeg and cumin, meeting in a crackling flame of amber and vanilla. Two varieties of cedar are showcased: Atlas with its resinous, leathery character, and Virginia with its dry and spicy “new pencil” notes.
All about this fragrance
Vibe check
An evening spent leafing through a secondhand book while the city remains awake outside. Pencil-dry cedar and paper suggest quiet concentration; a trace of smoke and amber warmth keeps the mood from feeling austere. The presence is thoughtful, with a little nocturnal edge.
How to wear
Cool to mild weather is a natural setting for the dry woods and amber-vanilla warmth. Start with one or two sprays on skin, allowing the smoky spice to settle before adding more. In warmer conditions, apply lightly to keep the cedar’s dry grain at the forefront.
Who it’s for
For those drawn to dry, textured woods, paper-like accords and restrained smoke rather than overt sweetness. It will especially appeal to cedar lovers who enjoy both the sharpness of freshly cut pencils and a more resinous, leathery depth, softened by amber and vanilla.

The nose
Julien Rasquinet is known for richly textured compositions that balance powerful woods, resins and spices with carefully judged contrasts. His work includes Amouage Interlude Man and Frédéric Malle The Moon. In Cèdre, he brings together two distinct cedar profiles, setting their dry, resinous textures against the suggestion of paper and a burning match.
Headspace’s story
Founded by Nicolas Chabot, Headspace connects scent-capture technology with the poetry of everyday experience. Its fragrances pair an emblematic ingredient with a reconstructed atmospheric smell, translating fleeting sensations into compositions rather than simply presenting portraits of raw materials.
Cedre’s concept
Cèdre pairs cedarwood with the captured scent of a burning match. Its creative narrative imagines Paris illuminated for the 2024 Olympic celebrations: books along the Seine, paper, streetlights and wood smoke, with a literary nod to Blaise Cendrars. Atlas and Virginia cedar give this scene its resinous depth and dry, pencil-like grain.
Extra info
The composition showcases two contrasting cedars: resinous, leathery Atlas cedar and dry, spicy Virginia cedar. Its bottle belongs to Jules Dinand’s laboratory-inspired design for Headspace, with a minimalist paper label and a black Bakelite cap.
