Cypress Absolute

1 perfumes

Cypress Absolute belongs to the aromatic-woody family, offering a dense, resinous profile that balances sharp, pine-needle freshness with a deep, balsamic sweetness. Unlike the fleeting top note of cypress oil, the absolute provides a dark, leathery undertone reminiscent of crushed needles and damp forest floor. It pairs naturally with bergamot in citrus accords to provide a sophisticated, green anchor, or with frankincense to amplify its sacred, smoky qualities. In the Gulf, this note is highly prized for its cooling, crisp character, making it an ideal choice for the intense heat of summer days. Arab perfumers frequently utilize it to add structural complexity to modern fougères, providing a grounded, masculine elegance that cuts through the humidity while maintaining a clean, sharp projection that lasts throughout the evening.
