Perfumery
OLFACTORY DESCRIPTION
Unique, this Portuguese Cypress totally modernizes the idea of this classic perfumery note. As aromatic as it is resinous, incisive and acerbic, it’s a very dynamic fruity cocktail that opens the note : apple, green mango… Then, under lemony accents of lime, the evolution gradually recalls turpentine and mountain alcohol : a wild and summery woody sensation is imposed. The base notes are more earthy, sedate and persistent, giving it a solid hold over time.

This variety is very different from the more classic Cupressus Sempervirens in perfumery and widely used, so it is an original alternative with new possibilities that offer.
