To my nose, this is identical to TF Grey Vetiver…a redundant purchase…still very well made, longevity in the 10+ hour range, and definitely best suited for cooler weather
Correction, this would be a great alternative to Le Labo Rose 31. TF Grey Vetiver is much airier, where R&B Cypress is dirty. I can see a very small resemblance to TDh in the drydown too…this is well worth it in my opinion…great stuff!

To my nose this is as much vetiver as it is cypress, and that isn’t necessarily bad, it just is. I’ve always associated cypress with mourning, grief and endings, and receiving this scent the week my marriage hit the rocks for good has been a panacea.
Somehow, there is a golden glow that emanates from cypress, and it is balanced here by the earthy vetiver and some fresh clean notes in the opening.

Rag & Bone Cypress is a fresh cypress-dominant fragrance—-soapy and green, a bit piney to my nose. The overall experience is fresh and woody, though, so it’s akin to many Creeds, Guerlain Vetiver, etc. without being sweet, really. The vetiver and patchouli in the drydown keep it anchored to its natural smell.
Performance is subpar for niche EDP, especially at pricing of $140 for 50ml, but the scent is nice enough that I might seek this out if it eventually becomes slightly cheaper.
Simply because of the pine aspect, it reminds me more of Creed Epicea than anything else—fresh pine keeps recurring as an accord that I get out of this, despite cypress being the dominant note. In fairness, in their freshest state they can smell rather similar.
Cypress ought to be versatile in a lot of ways, for winter and summer, men and women, and perhaps even day and night, though it’s not serious enough that I would likely wear it at night except for casual lounging.
Despite weaker performance than I was hoping for, I really like the scent and hopefully will procure it when it becomes cheaper.
