Italian Cypress has one match so far. These are the closest scents by shared notes that have several.
Opens with a sharp, resinous cypress that reads almost medicinal — green and slightly bitter, lifted by a clean bergamot that keeps it from going dark. The galbanum adds a cool, waxy edge in the heart, reinforcing that dry, almost cold-air quality. As it settles, cedarwood and amber smooth things out considerably, pushing it toward a warm, woody softness without losing the evergreen backbone. Projection is moderate, sillage stays close after a few hours, and the dry-down is quietly resinous. — Best worn in cool weather by anyone who prefers their woods spare and austere rather than sweet.

Scores come from owner reports on Reddit r/fragrance, r/fragranceclones and Fragrantica, and each is marked community-scored, provisional or not scored.
