The cypress tree is also a symbol of Artemis, the Greek goddess of the hunt, young girls, and the moon. Copy n paste from Wikipedia...I'm not that insightful... as you would know if you'd read my previous reviews. :) Wow...Wow...Wow!!! This juice is incredible, it genuinely transports you to another place. I get the feeling of being a lumberjack high up in a tree in a north American forest rather than maybe the leisurely stroll though a beautiful Italian garden bordered by pruned Cypress trees. I think the citrus and mint give it that airy fresh feeling of altitude which adds to the super woody and green, sappy notes which are obviously the heart of this fragrance. It's stunning! Just the right combination as it could easily have been linear or boring. Tom Ford's Private collection strikes again with another hit for me....arrrggghhh can't afford them all!!!
I have a decant of this now and my opinion has not changed in the slightest this might be the greatest opening I've ever encountered!!! Simply unreal!!! The drydown is still really beautiful but because that opening is so monumentally epic it just serves as a mild comedown after a massive high. Dries down very masculine like fendi uomo or something along those lines. I still want a full bottle at some point.
