Those who know more about it than I do are wise enough to avoid
diagnosis just on the basis of one pictu can you provide close-ups
of the sprays of foliage? What do the leaves smell like when crushed?
Has it had its top cut off at some time?

If, in spite of your request for an exact answer, accuracy doesn't
matter too much, I'm inclined to guess it may be a Lawson's cypress. At
least that's a starting-point for argument from the experts.
