Scent Profile

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 Shadow opens with a bright, zesty burst of bergamot and a subtle kick of pink pepper, quickly ushering in a vivid forest heart. Realistic pine needles and fir transport you to a serene woodland, supported by the dry, woody depth of cedar. The base settles into an earthy blend of vetiver and patchouli, grounding the fresh green notes with a touch of sophisticated bitterness.
