What do reviewers say about Colette 19 and Italian Cypress?
The basil note is what gives this fragrance its character. It's herbal, almost savory, cutting through the expected brightness with something unexpected.Colette 19
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
