What Is Paris Corner Emir Cedrat Essence a Dupe Of?

Paris Corner Emir Cedrat Essence is a clone of Mancera Cedrat Boisé Eau de Parfum. Citrus, black currant, a little spice and a woody leather base make the connection. If that mix of fresh fruit and drier woods is what you enjoy about Cedrat Boisé, Cedrat Essence is one to compare.

We rate the similarity at 88%. That's our scent comparison with the original Cedrat Boisé EDP. It isn't a rating for Intense Cedrat Boisé, and it doesn't mean the two fragrances have the same wear time or projection.

Why the note lists look so familiar

Both catalog profiles list Sicilian lemon, black currant, bergamot and spicy notes at the top. Fruity notes, patchouli leaf and water jasmine follow in the middle, with cedar, leather, sandalwood, vanilla, white musk and moss in the base. You can see that overlap across all three tiers above.

The fruit is a useful part of this comparison. Black currant sits beside the citrus, while the woods, leather and moss give you something drier to look for underneath. Vanilla adds another element to consider alongside that fresh opening. Those different sides of the profile are why we'd look beyond the first burst of lemon.

What we'd compare on skin

Start with how much space the black currant gets against the citrus. Then let the opening settle and follow the transition into the woody base. Does the fruit stay prominent, and how much leather or moss comes through for you? Those details can change the feel of a fragrance even when its listed notes match.

If you already wear Cedrat Boisé, compare a fresh spray of each. It's easier to judge the sweetness and woods together than to compare Cedrat Essence with a memory of the original. The matching panels are a helpful starting point, but the balance on skin is still worth checking.
