Looking for cypress scents
...I've not tried it but reading the review just posted by jtd prompts me to suggest "Fou d'Absinthe" by L'Artisan Perfumeur as something you might try (or at least read the reviews to see if it interests you...

EXILED! The stories from Defected Fragrantican Members
by PBullFriend | Parfumo Community
...have the gift for beautiful metaphor that some do, and my terse, factual style seems so prosaic next to the work of Ysbrand, Coutureguru, Sherapop, jtd, Silverfire, and others. (Those were the first few who came to mind. The full list is prob 2-3 dozen.) But I'll still write a review if one of them...

Perfumes for bedtime wear? L'Eau Neuve - Lubin
Bedtime
...I love to wear heavy, lush fragrances to bed. For me it's not about the calming or the cleansing. It's about wrapping myself up in something and ushering in expansive dreams. I wear love rose chypres at night--Knowing, la Nuit, La Perla, Paloma Picasso, Aramis 900. Also some of the early Guerlain orientals--Vol de Nuit, Shalimar, l'Heure Bleue. When i do want that 'still wet from the shower' sparkly feel for bed, i sometimes like green fragrances: Guerlain's Vetiver, Grey Flannel, Private Collection, le Temps d'une Fete.
