Perfumery

A fragrance family built on moss and citrus

Chypre is a classic family of fragrances built on a contrast between a fresh citrus top, usually bergamot, and a warm, mossy-woody base of oakmoss and labdanum, often with patchouli, giving a dry, sophisticated signature. The name, French for Cyprus, is tied to Francois Coty's 1917 perfume Chypre, which fixed the structure as a recognised type. Calkin and Jellinek's Perfumery: Practice and Principles and Sell's The Chemistry of Fragrances both place chypre among the standard fragrance families used to classify and build scents. The referent is a structural fragrance category defined by the bergamot-over-oakmoss accord.[1][2]
