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.
