    Real talk

    This is a fragrance that doesn't chase. The mint-citrus opening hits sharp, then settles into a green, woody character that asks nothing of anyone. Moderate sillage, maximum composure.1962
    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
