What do reviewers say about Velvet Cypress and Italian Cypress?
This is cypress done the way it should be, not a single note, but a whole argument. The lemon opens sunny and bright. The cypress arrives with presence, asserting itself as the composition develops.Velvet Cypress
The cypress is the whole point. It doesn't blend in, doesn't soften, doesn't apologize. Everything else, citrus, herbs, warm moss, exists to support that single austere note.Italian Cypress
