Fresh, green, woody, and a bit to the aquatic side. Nice overall.
This is my first proper sampling of Blue Cypress, one of the original releases in 2016 from Goldfield & Banks, named after a species found in Northern Territory, Australia. It’s difficult for me not to take its name to heart, as, even though I get a fresh green woody note, I do envision a blue aquatic side to it, as well, a sort of cross between the two concepts very brightly juxtaposed. It does remind me vaguely of some freshie men’s fragrances of the 90s and 2000s, but certainly it’s an improvement in terms of sophistication and better-quality ingredients, despite the overall aroma being a bit familiar. This is, simply put, an easy unisex modern freshie winner, apt for anyone anytime, and I imagine the only turnoffs will be due to some of the scent memories I’m experiencing, which for me are perfectly pleasant but for others might not be so great.
Blue Cypress is priced like most of the main collection, at $190 for 100ml, sold via great boutiques in the US like Perfumology, and performs quite well as a freshie. Being under the $2 / ml still is a good sign, pricing-wise.
