Cedrat Boise is an eau de parfum by Mancera, released in 2011, which the house classes among its fruity woody scents. Sicilian citrus, blackcurrant and cold spices open the composition; jasmine and patchouli leaves form its heart; woody notes, leather, oakmoss and vanilla make up the base.
Michelyn Camen, on CaFleureBon, praised in 2018 a woody citrus that spices and moss warm toward a base of sandalwood and vanilla; Antonio Centeno, on Real Men Real Style, finds it versatile and refuses to see it as a mere copy of Aventus.
What critics say
CaFleureBon, May 2018
On May 22, 2018, Michelyn Camen opens on a bright, crisp lemon and a burst of bergamot, which give the fragrance the citrus character its name promises, even though citron is not among the notes.
She sees it warm up: touches of spice, fruit and moss carry it toward richer woods, which set it apart from ordinary woody citrus scents. Sandalwood and a light vanilla give it, in her view, its identity, and she presents it as a favorite among enthusiasts.
Real Men Real Style, July 2026
On July 13, 2026, Antonio Centeno describes a tart, lively citrus opening that some noses may find a little synthetic at first. For him, the most successful stage is the floral part, rounder and fruitier, before a woody, leathery, creamy base softened by vanilla and musk.
He likens it to Creed’s Aventus for its fruity opening and woody, mossy base, but finds Aventus smokier and drier, Cedrat Boise fruitier and creamier, and refuses to see it as a mere copy. He recommends it for spring and summer, in the daytime.
