Latest Reviews of Cypress Cedar
A very solid fragrance from Banana Republic's "Icon Collection". A vibrant orange note in the top that dries down to clean woods, pepper, and vetiver. The Icon line is marketed as unisex, but I do think this one leans to the masculine side. But for men, I think it's perhaps the most versatile fragrance from the line, working in warmer or cooler weather. It's maybe not as green as the name would suggest, no evergreen sharpness. Still, can't go wrong with it during the day, though I might like something a little richer and sweeter for nighttime escapades. As with all the Banana Republic Icon fragrances, it can be found at a huge discount at rack stores, so keep an eye out if you shop that way.
A huge dose of Iso E Super. As mentioned by thekelleybelle, this is a Terre d' Hermes clone. Smells great, as I really like Terre d' Hermes. I was hoping for some cypress, but so far there's none to be found, nor cedar for that matter. I do smell some traces of vetiver and the orange note is also front and center in the opening along with the Iso E. I'm curious to see if it develops or if it stays a Td'H clone through the whole wear. If you don't have any Terre d' Hermes, and you want to buy something quite a bit cheaper that smells very similar, then you may want to consider this one.

Terre d'Hermès Pure Parfum on a budget. Absolutely addictive, with excellent sillage and longevity. I can't keep my nose away from my arm.
