Chypré

On the island of Cyprus, a great perfumer once discovered a tree moss that he used in 1917 for an eponymous perfume. A new trend was born! Nowadays, Chypres are considered very dressy, a trail for elegant people all over the world. Their secret? Top notes of bergamot, a gentle heart of rose and/or jasmine, and a sensual oakmoss or patchouli base.
