Mossy Woods & Chypre Fragrances - Perfumes With Woody Notes

Sharp but earthy, clean but classic, chypre fragrances have a unique character, which they owe to a traditional combination of oakmoss, labdanum, patchouli, and bergamot. The history of the chypre family dates back to 1917, when François Coty released the first "Chypre" perfume, designed to honor the scent of the island of Cyprus. Today, chypre compositions can be more fantasy-based, but their refined appeal remains, especially for those who like a touch of classic glamour.
