Chypre

UnisexRated 4.2/5 · 6 reviews

bergamot · lavender · rose

A chypre with a citrus opening, where bergamot gives way to dry lavender and sharp lime. The heart turns greener and faintly marine, with mint and seaweed. Virginia cedar and cypress settle slowly on the skin. Wear it in autumn or spring, when the air still hesitates between freshness and softness.
