Our verdict on Italian Cypress: Acquired

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.

About

Italian Cypress opens with a bracing blast of green cypress, sharp and resinous, immediately softened by a minty freshness and a hint of bright citrus. As it settles, the woody core emerges, rich and aromatic, underscored by a whisper of basil. It evolves into a refined, evergreen scent, evoking sun-drenched Mediterranean landscapes with its earthy, herbaceous depth.
