What does Italian Cypress smell like?

Its longevity is rated strong and its sillage good. Most voters pick spring and fall, and there is no clear split between office, daily wear and evening. It mostly reads as masculine and classic.

The top of bergamot, mandarin orange, peppermint and galbanum sets up a cool, citrusy green. In the heart, cypress, carnation, patchouli and basil add a spicy, earthy depth. Labdanum and moss in the base close it with a resinous, smoky chypre feel. Frapin Paradis Perdu and Goutal Eau du Sud have a close profile.
