Italian Tree is my love letter to Italian Cypress by Tom Ford—that sleek, sunlit woody chypre that feels like stepping into a quiet Tuscan garden just after morning mass, when the air is still cool and the stone paths haven’t warmed yet.

It opens crisp and clean: a bright flicker of citruses that reads like lemon peel snapped between your fingers—sharp, elegant, and instantly uplifting. Then comes the aromatic lift: basil adds a green, almost culinary freshness, while mint threads through like a chilled breeze rolling down a hillside. It’s not sweet, not loud—more like tailored linen and shaded courtyards.

At the center, the fragrance settles into its signature silhouette: Italian cypress—smooth, resinous, and quietly commanding. Think tall, dark-green trees standing like sentinels along a villa driveway, their scent warm and dry, with a polished, almost architectural sharpness. Beneath it, woodsy notes deepen the scene, giving the whole composition that refined, resin-tinged glow—an “alchemy of woody resins” that feels both classic and modern.

Italian Tree wears like confidence without performance: woody, aromatic, fresh-spicy, green, and citrus-bright—clean edges, warm heart, and a lingering, elegant calm.
