The review
On paper, Cypress Spring is a strong bet if you want Bracken Man for less.
Alexandria Fragrances sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is Bracken Man's pyramid, and the closeness votes below are the real test.
At $117 per 100ml it costs 75% less than Bracken Man — the cheapest of 2 twins we can price.
Reviewed on paper: from the notes and strength Alexandria Fragrances publishes, the price per 100ml, and how firmly the match is claimed. How it really smells on skin is what the votes below are for.
What it's built to smell like
The original opens on lavender, galbanum and geranium, turns to oakmoss and patchouli, and settles into leather, vetiver and cedar. That is the brief Cypress Spring is working from.
Top
- lavender
- galbanum
- geranium
Heart
- oakmoss

Base
- leather
- vetiver
- cedar
Ferny galbanum and lavender over mossy leather — a refined walk through damp forest.
How it ranks against the other twins
Of the 2 twins of Amouage Bracken Man we can price, Cypress Spring is the cheapest per 100ml.
