Chypre fragrances  

The Chypre fragrance family is a classic perfume category that typically features a citrus top note, a middle note of floral or woodsy scents, and a base note of oakmoss, patchouli, and musk. The word "chypre" comes from the French word for Cyprus, where the island's landscape and climate inspired the creation of this fragrance family. Chypre fragrances are known for their sophisticated and elegant character, often incorporating earthy, woody, and mossy notes. They can be worn by both men and women and are often used in high-end perfumes.
