Characteristics of Chypre Fragrances

Chypre fragrances are typically characterized by five facets, including citrus, bergamot, floral, wood, and amber. The citrus of a chypre fragrance is typically spicy in nature, while bergamot tends to have a light and refreshing aroma. When it comes to florals, they can present in one of two ways, either as a musky rose or intense jasmine. Woody notes can include green and earthy scents, rich and deep potent labdanum, or sweet patchouli. In typical amber fashion, you can expect it to smell rich, dark, and ambery. 

Among the fragrance families, Chypre is considered to be one of the most complex yet beautiful of those found on the fragrance wheel. When we experience a classic Chypre fragrance, it usually begins with a burst of citrus that is soon followed by floral notes. The mysterious and woody aroma of Chypre fragrances that makes them so enchanting typically appears as the fragrance dries down. Cool and yet warm, this complicated duality of notes and facets are what make Chypre fragrances so unique and alluring.
