Fresh Spicy Aquate
I have to defend Blue Cypress here, as I don't understand why it is rated so "poorly" here.
It is said to have a similarity to Ege by Nishane, which I can only partially confirm. The opening is a bit bumpy and indeed leans slightly in that direction, but Blue Cypress has a completely different DNA and, in my opinion, changes significantly throughout the fragrance development.
While in the first 5-10 minutes it still goes somewhat towards Ege, meaning it has a "cucumber-like" note without much spiciness, it gradually develops towards cypress and becomes increasingly spicy. I even perceive a hint of Tom Ford's Costa Azzurra Parfum at times, which is probably due to the white cypress in the fragrance pyramid. After about 2 hours, the cypress recedes a bit, and the scent becomes spicier, reminiscent of Acqua di Giò pour Homme Eau de Toilette by Armani. I don't mean that it smells exactly the same, but that it goes in the same direction: a fresh-spicy Aquate with a cypress touch.
I have rarely had a perfume that changes so dramatically - a true surprise bag. The scent development is therefore very exciting, much more so than with many even more expensive examples.
I find the longevity and sillage better than rated here. On me, it lasts easily 6-7 hours and is constantly noticeable.
The bottle is, as is usually the case with Goldfield & Banks, very simple, but gives a high-quality impression. In my opinion, it looks very good, and the spray head is very well dosed and sprays a decent amount - this is also the case with all the fragrances I have from Goldfield & Banks, as they hardly differ. All in all, it is a very successful presentation.
The fragrance is also very wearable for women at first - but the longer the scent lasts, the more I see it on a man - but of course, everyone can wear it as they wish.
I recommend anyone who can appreciate fragrances like "Acqua di Giò pour Homme (Eau de Toilette) | Giorgio Armani," "Chrome (Eau de Toilette) | Azzaro," "Light Blue pour Homme Eau Intense | Dolce & Gabbana," or similar to give this scent a chance and try it out. It goes in that direction but always keeps the cypress in the background. I like it a lot. After Pacific Rock Moss and "Bohemian Lime | Goldfield & Banks," it is my number 3. Unfortunately, Ingenious Ginger did not work for me, as it is not as fresh as often stated here.
In this sense: Try the fragrances yourself and don't always rely blindly on what is written here - not even on the review I just wrote - maybe you perceive the scent quite differently.
...and I would be happy about a trophy.
