Cedarwood
The Best for Your Wardrobe
Our cedarwood products are both smart and naturally functional. Made from 100% cedarwood, they release a mild, pleasant fragrance in your wardrobe while protecting your clothes from pests. Silverfish, moths, carpet beetles and other insects avoid the scent of cedar like the plague.
cedarwood – scent note and protector
Cedar is a wood with deep roots in both perfumery and practical everyday luxury. It grows naturally around the Mediterranean and into the Middle East, and is known for its dry, warm, and slightly spicy aroma – with subtle hints of resin, cinnamon, and smoke.
It's no coincidence that cedar is one of the most widely used base notes in modern perfumery – found in over 100 fragrances at Gents, to be exact. It provides structure, depth, and an elegant finish that lingers.
But cedar’s qualities go beyond scent. Spanish cedar is often used in high-end cigar humidors – not only for its aroma, but because the wood’s natural oils help regulate humidity and preserve the contents.
Those same properties make cedarwood an obvious choice for your wardrobe. Its scent repels moths and other insects – in a discreet and natural way. A cedar block in your closet is therefore both a style statement and a practical protector of your favourite garments.

3 Benefits of Cedarwood
- Cedarwood is not only a beautiful natural material – it also brings functional benefits to your wardrobe. It naturally regulates moisture and emits a distinct, dry woody scent that moths and other pests dislike. Especially useful in older homes with built-in wardrobes where the climate can vary. Cedarwood hangers and accessories spread a pleasant scent that adds a touch of freshness to shirts, jackets, shoes and coats – without being overpowering.
- Durable and reusable – cedarwood is a natural material where scent and appearance may vary. Over time, the scent will fade. Simply sand the surface lightly with fine-grit sandpaper to revive its signature aroma.
- Multifunctional – most people know you can place cedar blocks in linen cupboards, storage boxes and suitcases, but did you know they also help keep pantry pests like flour beetles away? True versatility. Just remember: as a natural material, cedar can release resin and oils, so avoid placing it directly against delicate garments or food items.
