Alexandria UK Cypress Spring is an Eau de Parfum. Cypress Spring opens with Bergamot, Cedar, Clove, and Nutmeg, settles into a heart of Lavender, Geranium, and Cinnamon, and dries down to a base of Musk, Cedar, and Patchouli. Alexandria UK's Cypress Spring carries a Favourite verdict, a woody-led wear.

Cypress Spring is Alexandria UK's dupe of Amouage's Bracken Man, chasing the same cypress-clove fougere backbone. It opens brighter and more citrus-forward than the niche original, with a simpler lavender-patchouli dry-down that trades Amouage's density and longevity for an easier, cheaper daily wear.

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

About

Cypress Spring goes straight for the cypress and warm clove combination that anchors Bracken Man, and the resemblance is clear from the first spray, with a punchy bergamot brightness up top that the Amouage original keeps more restrained. The lavender and geranium heart adds a barbershop-fresh polish that softens the initial spice without losing energy, though it develops with less nuance and fewer twists than the real thing. The patchouli-cedar-musk base is where the gap to the original widens most, settling into a pleasant but comparatively linear woody-musk trail rather than Bracken Man's more complex, resinous depth. Performance is solid for the price point, projecting well for the first few hours before fading to a close skin scent, making this a reasonable grab-and-go alternative for anyone who likes the aromatic-fougere direction but does not want to spend niche money to wear it daily.
