SCENT IMPACT: Moderate to Heavy
An ode to Parisian chic
What is Chypre (pronounced "sheep")? It's all at once sophisticated, classic and powdery. Chypres were made famous by Francois Coty and named from the French for Cyprus: birthplace of Aphrodite, the mythical goddess of love, beauty, and pleasure.
As from the early 20th century onwards, the chypre accord has undoubtedly been regarded as the quintessential French perfume. Chypre 21 however, is a creation for the 21st century whereby the main ingredients of a classic chypre: Bergamot, rose, patchouli, sandalwood and oakmoss have been reworked to create a contemporary, unisex fragrance. The scent leaves behind a wonderful, slightly nostalgic trail with a certain air of Parisian chic that would have been familiar to the likes of Jackie Onassis, Grace Kelly and of course the Duke and Duchess of Windsor.
