Chypre Perfumes & Colognes: 1,162 Chypre Fragrances

Chypre perfumes make up 1% of our catalog, with 1,162 fragrances built around a chypre accord. Chypre is a classic fragrance family built on a contrast of bright citrus, usually bergamot, over a mossy, earthy base of oakmoss, labdanum and patchouli. Modern chypres often lean on patchouli and synthetic moss because oakmoss is restricted. Typical notes include aldehydes, civet and oakmoss, and many are also floral or spicy. Well-known examples include Mitsouko by Guerlain, Rive Gauche by Yves Saint Laurent and Safina by Rasasi.
