Banana Republic Cypress Cedar Reviews
Fragrantica - A very slightly sweeter of Terre D Hermes EDT. Mind blown !! What a great fragrance! I leaving a bottle of this in the office to spray to refresh mid day during the summer. The BR fragrances have really impressed me. Crazy value and great scent profiles
Fragrantica - I reviewed this awhile back before I was familiar with Terre d'Hermes and unaware that Cypress Cedar imitates it. I really liked it on its own as a crisp classy evergreen scent that's very refined and enjoyable. Turns out it's a darn good take on TDH too. TDH is a little more complex thanks to a more bitter orange rind note and an earthy element that's lacking in Cypress Cedar, and TDH lasts longer. But Cypress Cedar is still really good and is perhaps a tad less challenging without that earthy edge the flint note gives TDH. If you want the TDH experience on a budget, this stuff is a no-brainer. Kudos
Fragrantica - This one is really good. It smells like a nice tamed bitter orange and dries down to a woody scent. The longevity is fair at a few hours, which isn't bad for a freshie. Sillage is moderate but that's good a lot of the time. Safe for work and closed in environments. All of the Banana Republic scents I have tried are just as good as the more expensive fragrances out there. This is a very pleasant scent and highly recommend
Fragrantica - This is one of my favorite colognes! I'm from Washington State so it reminds me of being out in the evergreen filled forests on a rainy morning, just beautiful. Banana Republic is way underrated especially at the price point
Fragrantica - This is a beautiful scent. It smells really nice in the air. The sillage must be pretty good, because I got a compliment about 8 hours after application, and the person was several feel away. Initially I saw this as more masculine, but the more I wear it I definitely could see a woman being able to wear this too... This is a 10/10 for me now. The more I wear it, the more I like it and the more interesting it becomes. It just works so well on my skin, even when it's hot. I think lately I'm noticing more of the base notes/masculine notes like the patchouli, musk, and vetiver. And it is still my most complimented fragrance. I think I like this better than Terre d'Hermes.
Fragrantica - I just continue to fall in love with this line . To my nose the majority of the line are almost spot on dupes. And yes I test them on my skin side by side with the OGs .
This is a definite Terre dupe. But as mentioned on here , it is a tamer version. But anyone that smells this will automatically say TDH . I feel the Hermes is a bit more orange and bitter. This does have a tad bit more sharp cypress probably to up the bitterness and get it closer . But I found this to be great. Bright and bitter tree pines, sour butter orange. Rhubarb to bring it down and add a cool freshness. The vetiver and cedar rounding everything out.
Fragrantica - Wow, I love this way more than I expected. It was a blind buy mainly because of the cheap $20 price point, so my expectations were low. It's quite wonderful. The opening is just like the name - all cypress and cedar, and it smells very natural. I have cypress tress on my property and this captures their slightly sweet evergreen aroma perfectly. The dry down leaves a warmer less pungent and lovely woodsy scent. I get an admirable 8+ hours of longevity from it, though the projection is not very strong. I probably wouldn't have loved this scent back in my teens and 20s, but for mature guys this is a very masculine and confident scent. Love it.
Fragrantica - I wore this today and man I love this one! I’ve been so impressed with banana republic! They put out niche quality products at a great price. This one reminds of a black licorice vibes it’s very nice. I definitely need to try Terre dhermes after liking this so much. 8/10
