    The galbanum note is green, sharp, and unapologetic. Some will find it too much. Others will find it exactly right. That juniper-gin bite is what makes Le Professionnel worth wearing.Le Professionnel
    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
