Collection: Chypre Fragrances

Chypre fragrances are elegant, sophisticated, and timeless, characterized by their distinctive blend of citrus, floral, and earthy notes. Originating from the French word for Cyprus, these perfumes are built on a base of oakmoss, patchouli, and labdanum, which provide a rich, woody foundation, while top notes of bergamot or lemon add a fresh, zesty opening. The result is a balanced, complex scent that feels both fresh and grounded, with a touch of mystery and refinement. Chypre fragrances are perfect for those who appreciate deep, multifaceted perfumes with a classic edge, making them ideal for both everyday wear and evening occasions. With their rich, woody heart and uplifting citrus top, chypre perfumes offer a unique olfactory experience that is as timeless as it is captivating.
