Launched in 2016 by The House of Oud, Cypress Shade is a Floral Green fragrance created by perfumer Andrea Casotti. It opens with a vibrant burst of citrus and green notes — star anise, bergamot, lemon, mandarin orange, and mimosa — that bring the freshness of a sunlit grove to life. As it settles, the composition reveals a soft spicy heart that includes coriander and mint, adding warmth and complexity. The base notes of vetiver and cedar ground this fragrance with earthy depth, creating a harmonious blend that is both refreshing and grounding.
