Cuir Chypre
Fragrance notes
Character
Cuir Chypre opens with bright bergamot and rose. The citrus provides a sharp lift that cuts through the opening, while the rose adds a soft floral layer. This combination feels direct and uncomplicated, moving the fragrance forward without hesitation.
The heart introduces Indian oud and guaiac wood. The oud brings a deep, resinous quality that anchors the lighter top notes. Guaiac wood adds a dry, smoky texture that complements the richness of the oud. As the composition settles, patchouli and oakmoss form the base. The patchouli is earthy and dark, and the oakmoss contributes a damp, green character that defines the chypre structure.
The overall profile is woody, earthy, and mossy, with clear spicy and floral threads running throughout. It feels natural and grounded, leaning into its resinous roots rather than modern sweetness. The blend stays consistent in its mood from the first spray to the final drydown. Wear it during the cooler months or on an evening out when a substantial, traditional scent is appropriate.
