has gloss | eng: Chypre is the name of a family (or concept) of perfumes that are characterized by a hesperidic top note of citrus notes such as bergamot, orange, lemon or neroli, a floral middle note usually with rose and jasmine oil, and a mossy-woody-animalic base note derived from oak moss and musks. Chypre notes may be modified by other notes such as patchouli (most often), vetiver, ambergris and sandalwood oil. History The term chypre is French for Cyprus, and goes back to François Coty who created in 1917 a perfume of the same name from fragrance materials that came predominantly from Mediterranean countries. Coty's ‘Chypre’ became the most typical representative of a whole family of related fragrances, albeit perfumes of similar style had already been created throughout the 19th century. The chypre concept is characterized by the contrast between the fresh citrus accord and the woody-oakmoss fond, often patchouli is considered an indispensable element as well, and with the allergenicity issues of oak moss, patchouli oil levels increased. |
