What does Bois de Cyprès smell like?

Most voters recommend it for daily wear and leisure, with business and sport also among the common uses. Its longevity and sillage are rated moderate, though the vote counts are small, so those ratings are tentative. It is rated well for value.

Madagascan mandarin orange, cardamom and lemon open with a cool, spicy brightness. In the heart, cypress, lavender and water mint add a green, airy feel, while vetiver, cashmere wood and sage absolute settle it onto a woody base. Issey Miyake L'Eau d'Issey pour Homme Eau & Cèdre and Giorgio Armani Acqua di Giò Profondo have a close profile.
