Olfactory background to a classical landscape
When I think of cypress or cypress - and also Italian, I have the most Tuscan landscapes in front of my eyes. Grown up straight as a candle and at equal intervals they stand on a country road up the hill to a picturesque village or a fortress. A visual delight.
But what do cypresses actually smell like? In any case, the name sounds promising and somehow like a holiday in the south with cultural demands.
The eau de parfum captivates at first sight with a rich mixture of aromatic-spicy to citric-floral notes, mixed with angular freshness of the fine minty kind without exaggerating. Somehow one feels strongly reminded of the scents of the 70s, especially because of the bridge to the already often quoted Halston Z-14, which is similarly structured, but at least officially does not deny its cinnamon. At Italian Cypress it is embezzled in the pyramid, but definitely perceptible.
For this the moss was pushed back a little too much for my taste and the warm smoky wood of the cypress can only be sniffed relatively timidly. The sweet patchouli, on the other hand, ideally balances between striking and unobtrusive.
But for me the highlight is the combination of the slightly sweet cinnamon with the general almost tart structure of the other notes. Accordingly, Italian Cypress is seductively charming and at the same time uncomplicatedly light-footed. Almost like a mediator between dust-dry, shimmering Mediterranean midday heat and lush, refreshing floral notes. Interestingly, it would be suitable for wearing in spring or autumn.
A top scent that seems to have been taken off the map, unfortunately. But it's also a pity, because the world of fragrances needs such strikingly-galant treasures.
