FRAGRANCE FAMILY

Chypre

A classic family built around bergamot top, floral heart, and oakmoss-patchouli-labdanum base.

History

Named for François Coty's 1917 Chypre, the family defined elegance in 20th-century perfumery and remains a critical reference for sophistication.

Scent profile

Bittersweet, mossy, slightly leathery: sophisticated and unmistakably 'perfume'.
