The name Chypre (pronounced "sheep-ruh" with emphasis on first syllable) originates from the French word for the Mediterranean island of Cyprus, known for its sun-drenched citrus groves, wild herbs and mossy forests. Chypre fragrances are defined by a harmonious contrast of bright, fresh top notes and rich, resinous bases. They exude elegance and intrigue, weaving together luminous citrus, velvety florals and deep, mossy wood notes of oakmoss, labdanum and patchouli. Classic, yet daring, Chypre combinations capture the essence of confident allure and timeless sophistication, much like the Mediterranean island that inspired them.
