Cipresso e Bergamot
Ariana & Evans
Founded in 2017 in Ansonia, Connecticut, Ariana & Evans is the passion project of fragrance auteur Peter Charkalis, its name blending his own and his daughters’ middle names. Guided by the Japanese principle of kaizen—continuous improvement—Charkalis brings an eclectic, globe-spanning sensibility to scents that are bold, sophisticated, and delightfully unconventional. Standouts such as Baklava, Plum & Bliss, Chasing the Dragon, and Khalifa showcase inspirations drawn from world cuisine and culture. In 2024 he introduced Maullu, a premium line co-created with acclaimed Italian barber Daniele Maullu, further elevating the brand’s commitment to top-tier ingredients and artistry.
Scent Description
Cipresso e Bergamotto is a deeply woody composition brightened by sunlit bergamot and bitter orange, cooled by a brisk and herbaceous snap of basil and mint. At its heart, lustrous hinoki—a lemony, balsamic Japanese cypress—unfurls across the varied woods, while a measured touch of birch tar lends a refined veil of smoke and supple leather. The structure is fougère-esque— although smoother, slightly sweeter, and creamier—eschewing the classic lavender-and-oakmoss duo. Tailor-made for fall, it's a masculine and complex scent which captures the crisp green hush of a walk among pines and the ember-warm glow of an evening by the fire.
