Imagine in your dreams, an enchanted forest, its woods and greenery and an ability to take that scent of it wherever you go. Wandering through rolling hills, moss-covered rocks, and the soft meadows, on the beautiful Emerald Isle, that is Ireland. The scent, so vivid in your dream that you can almost smell it. Your image of the scent, so close yet all you have to do is spray it on…

Created entirely by Lucy Hegarty in West Cork, Ireland, La Bougie is an independent niche perfumery that takes pride in its exquisite blend of aromatics and perfumed oils.

Their perfume, Cedar Atlas, is a reflection of the brand’s origins. It’s an echo of nature; the ingredients take you on a journey of ‘greenness’. Green, like a cool walk after a rainy day, through an Irish forest.

The fragrance opens with Atlas Cedarwood, bringing a warm, woody, and slightly sweet scent, with facets of balsamic notes and a touch of smokiness.

Its heart is a reflection in the art of Oudh, with earthy and woody tones alongside hints of musk and animalic undertones.

With a final touch of Thyme, its herbal and slightly minty note laced with subtle floral and earthy streaks that lift and freshen the base.

The dryness of the Cedar Wood blended with the sweet spiciness of Oudh and the herbal sharpness of thyme creates a weightless yet harmonious contrast. Together, they form a fragrance that grounds you, offering a sense of serenity and quiet comfort. Forging a lasting anchor between you and our beloved ‘Gaia’.

Cedarwood, used in perfumery since ancient times, is an essential oil known to calm the mind, so on top of smelling divine, it has a quiet balancing effect on the wearer.

A symbol of confidence for all genders, this scent draws you away from the everyday; the scent wraps around you. Like mist in the hills, clinging softly to fabric, to skin, and memory.

So really, Cedar Atlas isn’t just a fragrance. It will interlace with your memories and become more than just a scent; it will be part of you. It’s not loud, it invites curiosity, and it just says: You’re here. And you smell unforgettable…
