The story behind the bottle.
Italian Cypress by Tom Ford was launched in 2008 and expertly crafted by perfumer Carlos Benaïm. This Woody Chypre fragrance opens with a fresh, spicy green note that immediately grounds the composition in a crisp, natural atmosphere. The heart introduces a citrusy vibrancy, while the base settles into woody aromatics that evoke the enduring presence of cypress trees. It is a fragrance that seamlessly transitions from day to night, blending freshness and warmth.
Apply this fragrance with a light hand — the green and citrus notes are bright but fleeting. The woody base develops gradually, so it’s best to allow it time to settle on your skin rather than layering additional sprays.
