Italian Cypress

Italian Cypress from Tom Ford (2008) is a unisex Woody Chypre whose pyramid is unusually front-loaded: the top carries Italian Cypress, woodsy notes, basil, citruses and mint, with no heart or base notes listed. In practice, collectors should read this as a bright, green-woody opening that leans heavily on the cypress-wood accord, lifted by citrus and mint and sharpened by basil. The published accords — woody at 100%, aromatic 85%, fresh spicy 77%, green 59%, citrus 48% — describe a scent that stays linear and crisp rather than developing into a deep resinous drydown.

Because the structure is top-heavy, this suits collectors who enjoy green, aromatic woods and want a clean, bracing wear rather than a heavy chypre base. It fits daytime, warm weather and unisex wear, and appeals to fans of herbal-citrus openings with a woody spine. Those seeking a rich mossy or amber finish should note the absence of listed base notes and sample first. For a discontinued Tom Ford, condition and batch matter; buy from a trusted source and judge by the opening, since that is where the composition lives.

Tom Ford Italian Cypress（2008）係一支中性木質西普，香調結構好特別：前調集中咗意大利柏樹、木質香、羅勒、柑橘同薄荷，中調同後調都冇列出。實際聞落去，會係一個明亮、帶綠意嘅木質開場，以柏木為主軸，柑橘同薄荷帶出清涼感，羅勒再添一點辛香。官方主調顯示木質100%、芳香85%、清新辛辣77%、綠色59%、柑橘48%，即係話佢偏向線性、清爽，唔會慢慢變成深沉嘅樹脂底。

因為結構集中喺前段，呢支適合鍾意綠意芳香木質、想要乾淨醒神多過厚重西普底嘅收藏家。日間、暖天、中性場合都啱用，亦吸引鍾意草本柑橘開場加木質骨幹嘅人。如果你想要濃郁苔蘚或琥珀收尾，就要留意佢冇列出後調，建議先試香。作為已停產嘅 Tom Ford，批次同保存狀態都好重要，最好喺可信來源入手，並以開場表現作判斷，因為成支香嘅重點就喺嗰度。
