Blue Cypress

by François Merle-Baudoin

Goldfield & Banks Australia Blue Cypress is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2016, created by François Merle-Baudoin. Blue Cypress settles into a heart of Star Anise, Clove, Patchouli, and Cypress. Goldfield & Banks Australia's Blue Cypress carries a Favourite verdict, a woody-led wear.

This one's a divisive aquatic-woody scent. Some find it a refreshing, clean take on Australian cypress, while others dismiss it as a synthetic, overpriced 'ADG type' fragrance with poor performance. Definitely sample first.

Its fresh, clean profile makes it suitable for office wear, though its weak performance means it won't be intrusive. The aquatic and woody accords lean well into casual and sport settings, but its common comparisons to generic men's freshies reduce its date and formal appeal.

About

Blue Cypress opens with a cool, almost minty blast of cypress and lavender, underscored by a surprising hint of star anise. As it settles, the initial freshness deepens into a woody, aromatic heart with earthy patchouli and a touch of warm clove. It's meant to evoke a tranquil, dewy forest after rain, but often comes across as a crisp, clean 'shower fresh' aquatic with an aftershave vibe.
