The review

Victorious scores 7.5 out of 10 on paper — strong contender territory for anyone chasing Italian Cypress.

HK Perfumes sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is Italian Cypress's pyramid, and the closeness votes below are the real test.

Strength: extrait, among the most concentrated formats a dupe comes in.

At $64 per 100ml it costs 82% less than Italian Cypress — the 2nd cheapest of 6 twins we can price.

Some wearers dispute how close it gets — the match is the seller's claim, so read the votes before you buy.

Reviewed on paper: from the notes and strength HK Perfumes 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

Tom Ford Italian Cypress is cypress, basil and peppermint at first, incense, cardamom and pine at its heart and cedar, olibanum and vetiver at the end. HK Perfumes set out to put that same arc in a cheaper bottle.

Top

  • cypress
  • basil

Heart

  • incense

Base

  • cedar
  • olibanum
  • vetiver
Cool cypress and herbs over incense and cedar; a crisp, evergreen evocation of a Tuscan hill.

Some fans dispute how close this one gets — it is listed against the original by its seller.
