There are many species of cypress available, but cupressus sempervirens is considered the highest quality and superior to the other species. It presents with smoky-balsamic aroma and an interesting airy note which blends especially well in complex perfumery products. Try it with Juniper, Sandalwood, Citrus oils and other wood oils for its ozone-like qualities. It will also contribute a nice touch when blending to achieve an 'oceanside' scent. If you are looking for a good addition to any mens blend, try this.
