What does Cypress in Oak smell like?

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate, so it stays fairly close to the skin. Most voters pick spring and fall, with summer not far behind. It leans towards daytime, leisure and office wear, and reads slightly more masculine while suiting anyone.

The notes read as one whole: cypress, Virginia cedar and Atlas cedar build the woody frame, while oakmoss absolute and fir balsam absolute add a green, earthy tone. Cashmeran and mineral notes soften it and leave a faintly spicy edge.
