This olfactive group was named after perfume Coty Chypre created in 1917. Chypre means Cyprus in French. This sharp scent is based on harmony of oak moss, labdanum, patchouli and bergamot.
Flowers such as rose, lily of the valley or jasmine make a traditional component of 'chypre' compositions.
Compositions of chypre group go perfectly with fruity notes such as peach, apricot, forest strawberry or exotic fruit. They have a warm and opulent scent.
