Chypre

Chypre (say it "sheep-ruh") is one of perfumery's most elegant families, and once you know it, you'll recognise it everywhere. The name comes from the island of Cyprus, and the style is all about contrast: bright, fresh top notes falling away to a warm, mossy, woody base, often with a little something floral or spiced in between. The effect is sophisticated and grown up, the kind of scent that smells expensive and lingers beautifully.

If you find sweet fragrances too much and plain florals too simple, this is your corner of the collection. Chypre suits anyone who likes a fragrance with depth and a bit of character, and it makes a wonderful, safe gift for the hard to buy for. If it's the woody, grounded side you love most, you'll likely enjoy our Woody fragrances too.
