What do reviewers say about Polo and Italian Cypress?
Polo is not trying to impress anyone. This is a well-built masculine that knows exactly what it is, and has never needed to apologize for being a classic.Polo
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
