What does Cypress Opera smell like?

It opens with mandarin orange and olive leaf, citrusy and green. In the heart, Scots pine, hinoki cypress and cypress lead, and the scent turns resinous and lightly spicy. Amber and cedarwood in the base soften the woody dryness.

Longevity and sillage are moderate. Most voters pick spring, summer and fall, and leisure, daily wear and the office are the most named occasions. Masculine and feminine votes are equal, so it sits between the two. Santa Maria Novella Alba di Seoul and Acqua di Parma Cipresso di Toscana have a close profile.
