What does Coastal Cypress & Sea Fennel (Eau de Toilette) smell like?

Most voters recommend spring and summer, and it leans towards daily wear, leisure and the office, with evening use well behind. Its longevity and sillage are moderate, so it stays close without crowding the room. The largest share of voters find it masculine, though it reads as unisex.

The top is cardamom, bergamot, rock samphire and fig leaf, opening spicy and green. The heart brings violet leaf, cypress leaf and marine notes, softened by frankincense and jasmine. The base settles into a dry, woody floor of vetiver, musk, blue cypress and cedarwood.
