Real talk
Z14 is not interested in chasing trends. The cypress-forward structure and leathery drydown feel like they belong to a different era, and that is precisely the point.Halston Z14
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
