What does Velvet Cypress smell like?

Italian lemon and Italian bergamot bring a citrus brightness, while galbanum adds a green, slightly bitter edge. Cypress, fir and cedar form a resinous, woody backbone, and clary sage absolute softens it with a creamy, spicy touch.

Longevity and sillage are rated moderate. Most voters pick spring and summer, with autumn not far behind, and it leans towards leisure, business and daily wear. Voters mostly read it as masculine.
