What do reviewers say about Italian Forest and Reserve Collection: Italian Cypress?
A linear fragrance that wears its heart on its sleeve. Some call it old-school; others call it honest. Either way, the cypress doesn't quit, it stays, and so will you.Italian Forest
The mint and galbanum opening isn't gentle. Some people hit that first 20 minutes and bail. But if the green, herbaceous character clicks, it becomes a signature.Reserve Collection: Italian Cypress
