La Route du Cèdre – Diffuser

Nicolaï – the Paris perfume house of Guerlain descendant Patricia de Nicolaï, which launched one of the very first home fragrance lines back in 1990.

La Route du Cèdre is dry, green and grounding. Cedarwood opens clear and woody, pine sits at the heart, before geranium and a soft musk round it off. The diffuser holds 250 ml of fragrance, comes with bamboo reeds and is hand-filled in France.

The diffuser spreads the scent through the reeds without any flame – the number of reeds decides how strongly La Route du Cèdre fills the room.

What makes La Route du Cèdre special to us: as a diffuser it's a quiet housemate – a room that permanently smells of forest, dry and clear, without ever pushing itself forward.
