Cypress Cedar

Cypress Cedar by Banana Republic is a crisp, aromatic woody fragrance with a bright opening of bitter orange, mint, and pink pepper, balanced by the green, earthy tones of cypress, cedar, and rhubarb. The drydown reveals a smooth, creamy vetiver and musky base, creating a clean, mature scent that evokes a refined outdoor environment. While it shares noticeable similarities with Terre d'Hermes—particularly in structure and vetiver presence—it feels lighter, fresher, and slightly sweeter, with a minty, rhubarb-laced evolution that keeps it from being a direct clone. It's best suited for daytime wear in spring and summer, particularly casual outings or office environments, and performs well as a subtle, wearable scent on most skin types. Moderate longevity and sillage mean it requires reapplication for consistent presence, and though it's not ideal for formal events or long nights, it offers excellent value at low price points, especially in discount retailers or seasonal sales.
