Tom Ford Reserve Collection: Italian Cypress is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2019. Tom Ford's Reserve Collection: Italian Cypress carries an Acquired verdict, a woody-led wear.

Tom Ford's Italian Cypress is a divisive beast: some hail it as a refined, upgraded classic, a grown-up Polo Green, while others find it too mature or just not quite hitting the mark of its original formulation. It's a sophisticated scent, no doubt, but prepare for strong opinions.

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.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Spring Fall

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Formal
Also Works:
Date

Its strong projection and long-lasting nature make it a bit much for the office, requiring a light hand. The sophisticated, woody profile makes it excellent for formal events and more mature date nights, but it's perhaps too polished for everyday casual wear or sport.

About

Imagine strolling through a sun-drenched Italian forest - that's the vibe. It opens with a sharp, invigorating hit of cypress, softened by a zesty citrus edge and the herbaceous freshness of basil and mint. As it settles, the greenness deepens into rich, smooth woody notes, evoking a sense of timeless elegance with a surprisingly warm, almost chocolatey undertone that many pick up on. It's a journey from crisp foliage to a grounded, sophisticated base.
