Chypre Chrysantheme
Fragrance notes
Character
Lemon verbena and lime lead the opening with a sharp, clean citrus that feels bright and immediate. Jasmine and white rose soften the edges without turning the start powdery. The lemon remains present as the top notes unfold, giving the entrance a clear, sunny character that stays uplifting rather than tart.
Chrysanthemum and hyacinth shape the heart with a green, slightly watery floral tone. Honey adds a thick, golden sweetness that binds the flowers together, while a faint coffee thread introduces a dry, roasted contrast. Clary sage pushes the center toward an herbal direction that keeps the sweetness from becoming heavy.
Oakmoss and beeswax anchor the base with a resinous, forest-floor depth. Kyara incense and styrax bring a smoky, balsamic warmth that lingers near the skin as the hours pass. Civet, castoreum, and ambergris add an animalic weight that sits quietly beneath the vanilla and tonka bean.
Patchouli and bourbon vetiver ground the drydown further, letting the mossy accord stay present through a warm afternoon outdoors. Seaweed and labdanum contribute a salty, leathery hint that works well in a garden or a shaded patio. The scent stays close as it wears, carried by the wax and resin rather than by a wide reach.
