What does Cypress Cedar smell like?

Longevity and sillage are both moderate: it neither dominates a room nor disappears quickly. It reads as an easy everyday scent that men and women can wear alike.

Mint and cypress carry the fresh, green side, while black pepper adds a dry touch of spice. A citrus brightness and a woody, earthy base round out the trio, and the same cool, clean impression runs throughout. A&F 1892 Yellow and Guerlain Homme L'Eau Boisée have a close profile.
