Which Should You Buy?
A divisive masterpiece, Italian Cypress is hailed by many as Tom Ford's best work, though some find its classic, masculine leanings a bit dated. It's a commanding, high-quality scent that demands respect.
Italian Forest chases Tom Ford's discontinued Italian Cypress, matching its crisp cypress-basil-mint barbershop opening. The woody-incense drydown is simpler and less resinous than Tom Ford's original, and doesn't hold the smoky depth as long.
