The story behind the bottle.
Blue Cypress by Goldfield & Banks Australia was launched in 2016, crafted by François Merle-Baudoin. This Woody Chypre fragrance embodies the lush and dramatic landscapes of Australia that inspired its creation. The composition opens with fresh spicy notes and lavender, which cut through the air like a crisp breeze on an Australian plain. As it settles, Blue Cypress reveals a heart of aromatic anise and soft spices, leading into a warm base of patchouli and woody accords that evoke the rugged beauty of the outback.
One to two sprays is sufficient — the fresh spicy and lavender top notes are bright but fleeting. The aromatic heart and woody base gradually unfold over time, making it perfect for daytime wear when you want a scent that evolves with your environment.
