Cyprès Pantelleria opens with a crisp, citrus-fresh burst of bergamot, mandarin, and neroli, creating a bright, airy introduction that quickly evolves into a distinctive aquatic-green profile. The cypress note dominates the core of the fragrance, blended with clary sage and aromatic herbs, producing a chypre-fougère character that feels both natural and refined. There's a tangible marine quality—subtle, salty, and evocative of coastal Mediterranean landscapes—without leaning into hyperrealistic ocean notes. The drydown reveals a grounded base of oakmoss, vetiver, and amberwood, delivering a subtle, skin-deep warmth that enhances longevity without overwhelming. The fragrance is linear in development, holding steady with minimal changes, making it ideal for those who appreciate consistency and refined simplicity.
