Composed by Fanny Bal, Cedar Pulp takes the traditional citrus-herbal cologne and blows up its green, herbal side: an aggressively green basil, a pinch of cumin, and a nutty green-almond note that reads cedar-like, all over a sheer citrus. Despite the name, it is closer to an amplified herbal cologne than a cedar soliflore. It is now discontinued. ## Scent Profile The "cedar" of the title is a bit of a misdirection. The composition centers on a sheer citrus accord met by a strong, aggressively green basil, then sharpened with a small dose of cumin that adds pungency and a faintly skin-warm edge. Bright and raw at the top, it reads more herb-garden than citrus-stand. Through the heart, the basil dominates and the cumin keeps it from feeling like a generic fresh cologne. The signature material is green almond, which carries a nutty, crushed-green-wood character — and which is most likely the source of both the "cedar pulp" name and the lone cedar note in note listings. The base settles into that nutty, green-woody impression: not a dense, dry cedar but a juicier, pulpier reading of green wood, fitting the name. Overall the arc runs bright citrus, into a dominant raw basil heart tinted with cumin, into a nutty green-almond drydown. Precise stage timing beyond this is not well documented, so it is best read as a green-herbal cologne rather than a linear note-by-note progression. ## Performance Documented performance is limited. The most specific account, from Colognoisseur, reports 10 to 12 hours of longevity with average sillage — long for a cologne-style green fragrance. Broader impressions skew more moderate, so the honest read is good-to-very-good longevity with modest, intimate projection that stays fairly close to the skin. Apply generously and expect a personal-space scent rather than a room-filler. ## Wearing Context This is a warm-to-mild-weather, daytime fragrance that suits casual and office settings where a fresh but slightly unusual cologne reads well. The raw basil and cumin give it more edge than a standard citrus-fresh, so it leans interesting rather than crowd-pleasing, and it wears comfortably unisex. It would feel out of place as a cold-weather or formal-evening statement scent. Anyone sensitive to cumin should sample first, since that pungent facet is part of its character. ## Comparisons & DNA The most useful frame is conceptual rather than a list of soundalikes. Colognoisseur positions Cedar Pulp as an evolution of the traditional cologne — the classic citrus-and-aromatic-herbs structure — pushed into greener, rawer territory and reimagined as a "cologne of tomorrow." Within its own house it sits among several dated Courrèges releases, with siblings such as 2060 Plant Powder, 2060 Empty Bottle, and 2060 Star Dust, each built by a different perfumer and each a distinct composition rather than a flanker. Reliable cross-house comparators for this specific scent are not well documented, so it is fairest to place it broadly in the green-aromatic-cologne family rather than to invent close dupes. ## Reception Documented reception is thin, as fits a discontinued, low-profile release. The standout coverage is a favorable Colognoisseur review, in which critic David singled Cedar Pulp out as the best of the collection, describing himself as engaged by Bal's interpretation of cologne and writing that by taking the herbal piece of the traditional construction and blowing it up, she creates something different — adding that he would be thrilled to think this is the cologne of tomorrow. Broader sentiment is sparse, with few written impressions on record, so there is no real consensus or polarization to report and no settled blind-buy verdict. What recommendation exists rests largely on that one positive critic and on the niche-cologne concept. ## Versions & Reformulation Cedar Pulp is a single composition with no known reformulations, though it is now discontinued. It belongs to the Courrèges Colognes Imaginaires concept line of dated future colognes and is documented as a 2020 release. No flankers of Cedar Pulp itself exist; the other "2060" names in the line are separate compositions, not variants of this one. ## Acquisition Notes As a discontinued release, Cedar Pulp now circulates mainly through clearance and discount channels, often at low prices — listings have appeared in the high-$20s. The documented format is a 100 ml eau de parfum. Decants are limited given its obscurity. Counterfeiting risk is low for a fragrance this minor and inexpensive, but because remaining stock is aging, it is worth confirming freshness with the seller. Note one identity caveat: the single "cedar" note seen in listings understates the actual basil, cumin, and almond composition, so confirm you are buying 2060 Cedar Pulp specifically and not another dated Courrèges scent. ## Notable Facts & Lore - Cedar Pulp is part of Courrèges' Colognes Imaginaires line, in which each fragrance is dated and imagined as a "cologne of tomorrow." - The "2060" framing casts it as a cologne of the year 2060 — among the latest dates in the collection. - Each scent in the collection was built by a different perfumer; Cedar Pulp is Fanny Bal's. - The "cedar" of the name most likely derives from a green-almond material that reads as nutty cedar, not from cedarwood itself. - Critic David of Colognoisseur named it the standout of the collection on first sniff. - It is now discontinued.
