Blue Cypress
by Goldfield & Banks Australia
Blue Cypress presents itself as a fresh, aromatic woody scent centered around cypress and lavender, offering a crisp, almost medicinal airiness reminiscent of a mountain forest after rain. The fragrance is dominated by a clean, minty-green character with subtle hints of clove and star anise, giving it a naturally invigorating quality. While the composition is linear and unassuming, it delivers a refreshing profile that feels authentic and restrained—like damp moss, cool air, and natural wood. Users describe it as a modern, minimalist men’s scent with a tailored, quiet elegance that appeals particularly to those who appreciate clean, unisex fragrances with an outdoorsy aura. Many compare it favorably to classic aquatics like Acqua di Gio or Dior Homme, though the performance is consistently noted as weak, with moderate longevity and only moderate projection, fading to a quiet skin scent within hours.
Pros
- +Offers a genuinely fresh, earthy green scent that feels naturalistic and invigorating
- +Balanced and wearable, appealing to both men and women with a preference for unisex clean scents
- +Comfortable for office wear and warm-weather use due to its light, non-herbal character
Cons
- −Lacks strong longevity and projection, with most users reporting fading within 4–6 hours
- −Often described as generic, pedestrian, or uninspired despite its clean character
- −Perceived as overpriced given its performance and lack of innovation
