Chypre refers to a family of fragrances in perfumery characterized by a particular olfactory structure that combines earthy and mossy base notes with citrus in the top notes and a floral or fruity heart. The name comes from the island of Cyprus (Cyprus in English), which inspired the creation of the original formula of this type of perfume. The chypre essence is known for its richness, depth and longevity, offering a distinctive and sophisticated olfactory signature.
