Chypre (fragrance family)


A classic fragrance family characterised by a warm, dry, mossy accord, generally built on a triad of bergamot at the top, cistus labdanum at the heart and oakmoss at the base. Chypre plays the elegant contrast between citrus freshness and woody, earthy depth. Valued for its understated sophistication, it inspires refined and timeless hotel signatures.
