Cadjmere Parfumerie Generale for women and men

Its lovely, I think this is an excellent perfume for a real "man's" "man" hahaha. On me I smell cederwood/cypress, sandalwood and amber - its very autumn/winter scent, sitting by the fire snuggling up kind of comfort scent.
It reminds me of walking amongst old cypress trees, rugged up on a cold day, with the smell of smoke in the air.
I would have to say its not for me, I would love to smell this on my man....sadly he wont wear any fragrance :(

This is a stunning fragrance.....just a but too masculine for me. The cypress and sandalwood were incredibly dry and intense and really the focus in this. It dries down a little softer with a touch of vanille and a smidge of coconut. It never becomes sweet, just warm. Very fireside on me.

On my husband?? It's one of the sexiest things I've ever smelled!! The cypress is tamed and smokey, the sandalwood brings a beautiful depth and the vanille just softens the edges. My hubby is a big beautiful grizzly bear of a man and this just ROCKS on him. All of the things that were just too much for me turn into something I'm not sure I want him wearing if I'm not around. Seriously, magnifcient! Men take notice.....this is definately worth trying.

I learned to love many of the Guillame's creations but I still have some "troubles" with Cadjmere. I'm not among the biggest fans of gourmands but Parfumerie Generale's interpretation of this theme is, usually, very unique and original. In Cadjmere it seems that Guillame was focused on the most "evident" aspect of this kind of fragrances: sweetness.

Creamy coconut, woods and sweet flowers on a ambery/vanilla base. Cadjmere has a few interesting aspects (a resinous vibe and some myrtle contrasting the general sweetness) but overall it's too conventionally gourmandic for my likes...

As usually in PG's compositions the quality is here so, if you're into gourmands, you might want to check this out.

Rating: 6.5-7/10

Oh my goodness! How can I possibly ever give this elixir justice? Cadjmere generates good karma with one whiff! Thanks @ a niche loving fairy child for opening my eyes to this beauty. I so owe you! You read my tastes perfectly and I wouldn’t have tried this on my own. I want a full bottle now. I needed one yesterday.


How is it even possible for a perfume to be both powerful and quiet at the same time? The alchemist really knew what he was doing with Cadjmere. The entire composition and essences are just so beautiful. I don’t even want to write a review. I just want to enjoy this moment for as long possible. Yes it truly IS that good!


Cadjmere took my soul (literally) on this amazing tree-hugging journey. I first caught the scent of raw cypress tree sap, very similar to playing hide n seek in the woods with giggles. Then Cadjmere started evolving into this glorious blend of medieval woods, exotic coconut milk and warm vanilla…If I were reading this review and just looking at those notes, perhaps I would think this one too heady and masculine, but Cadjmere is such a loving, soothing and kind fragrance….The soul base of milky notes and vanilla isn’t too overwhelming either…Man this is some dreamy stuff…

Cadjmere you blew my mind and I need you! Nuff said…

This fragrance was a surprise. I tested it first; arms, wrist, neck etc. I was worried that the fragrance wouldn't last because I tend to soak them in very quickly and this was a EDT. Every now and then I smell the fragrance gently wafting from myself and I enjoy it! Each note makes it's appearance, delicately but you know it's there. They have this listed here as a both men and woman's fragrance. On lucky scent it's just under woman's fragrance. I personally feel it's to light and feminine to be on a man; but who know's it's a great fragrance that would smell wonderful on anyone!

I was about to write my review when I noticed Rebella likes this, and that gave me pause. Rebella is my 'through the looking glass' scent sister; we don't agree on anything.

But we agree on this. I've been sampling Cadjmere over a 2 month time period now, and my opinion has remained unchanged. Cadjmere strongly reminds me of Sonoma Scent's Winter Woods. It's a sweet, docile woody chypre that's meant for a lazy, Sunday afternoon.

What surprises me is that this never gets too sweet or too annoying. It's very exotic, and I don't think I've used that word much in my two years of writing reviews. This is a golden tan in the middle of summer; warm, sultry, and inviting.

One of PG's best fragrances.

The mix of coconut/mandarin turns unexpectedly to beeswax on me! And it is very welcome :) I agree with PitbullFriends find of oilpaint in the background, brilliant observation, PF!
The vanilla is really berry sweet (a la Acqua e Zucchero) but a slight citrusy tartness shines through to keep the sweet reined in.
Dries down as sugary almond(read Bois Farine)perfectly balanced by creamy coconut and sunwarmed cypress.
After an hour it is so close to Bois Farine I decide I must get one of them! And then I guess Cadjmere wins the battle as it took a whole beautiful journey for it, to end up as Bois Farine. :)

I totally get the Addict vibe in this one. But in this case, the vanilla is dominated by the cypress note, making it more unisex and definitely more elegant, discreet and less gourmand. I can't detect any coconut, the cypress seems to drawn all other individual notes and what's left is a underlying sweetness. This subtle sweetness is what makes this a comforting scent in the end and has me smelling my wrist all morning.

As with all PG perfumes, the longevity is not too good on my skin, though not exactly bad either. I think I'm gonna have to buy a FB of this in the end. I don't seem to stop thinking about it even when I'm wearing another perfume.

Edited to add: Finally got a FB of it and I noticed a few things. First, this doesn't give me the Addict vibe as the sample did because the cypress is much stronger in the FB for some reason. Also, the tangerine, which I couldn't detect in the sample, comes out very prominent in the dry down and gives a strong sour note. Still no coconut though. It's very 'chic' and elegant and comforting at the same time, but also less sweet than I expected it to be. Lasting power fortunately is improved in the real juice and lasts at least 8 hours though it stays close to skin after the first 5-6. I'm glad to have bought it and find myself wearing it a lot, though it unfolds very differently from what I had come to expecte from the sample. It turns out that this is one of my most used perfumes, because it's calming and uplifting at the same time!

Green, forest, cream, friendly, soft. Very pretty , harmonious. It pacifies me, comforts and lusters. Smells exotically, magicly. I envisage, that smells like a indian forest. Very comfortable. Similar to Addict - green, claw note and sweetness vanilla, but Cadjmere is subtlest than Addict and more natural.

I am since earlier a big fan of Parfumerie General, even tough I don´t like all perfumes I´ve tried from them, at least almost all of their fragrances touches me in one way or another.

Cadjmere isn´t an exception. I fell in love at first sniff! Really bad, heart crushing, aching and mouthwatering love... I have loads of untested perfumes, and probably many of them really good and interesting. And all I can think of since Cadjmere strucked me, is... Cadjmere. LOVE LOVE LOVE! I think I will need a lot of this gorgeus perfume... like enough to fill a bathtub. Well, so far I haven´t even mentioned how good it smells. And it sure smells good.

It is creamy, but still very interesting, personal, smells familiar and mystic at the same time. Comforting and sensual and sexy, I´ve got a lot of compliment on this, even tough I´ve only wear it in public one time! It is warm yet fresh and cool in a very alluring way. The coconut in this one is tricky, I can´t really smell it (like coconut usually tend to smell suntan-lotion) but I guess it´s contribute to the luxurious feeling of creamy, smoth softness. I´m not sure about how myrtle smells like, but in Cadjmere everything smells sooooo good!

I don´t think you should try it, I think you should leave all the existing bottles to me, I want to swim in it. No, I guess not, but I am obsessed with Cadjmere. Maybe you will be to if you try it! Longlasting, heavy sillage, I have my own Cadjmere-cloud around me for hours and oooh, do I love it? :)

It is also a very euforic perfume, I feel warm and happy when I wear it.
