Perfumes - A Quick Guide To Chypre Fragrances
Author: Yuri // Category: Chypre, Fragrances, Perfumes
Rich and extravagant Chypre perfumes are based on woody, flowery, mossy notes with blends of Sandalwood, Pine, Cedar, Patchouli, Vetiver and Pine. These perfumes have been created with nature in mind and originated in 1917 and named after the fragrance Chypre created by Coty.
When Chypre (Cyprus) was created by Coty in 1917 it had top notes of citrus and end notes of pungent oak moss mingling with a heart of rose & jasmine. With time, however, perfume houses have evolved chypre perfumes and created some exquisite fragrances which are now categorized under the mossy-wood range and widely available in the market.
Some better known and popular chypre fragrances are detailed below:
Coco Madmoiselle by chanel
Created as a tribute to the lady herself complementing her character of sensuality, humour and strength, Madmoiselle is enriched with top notes of orange and bergamot, with a heart of jasmine and rose which sink into a sensual note of vetiver and patchouli.
Aromatic Elixir by Clinique
With opening notes of chamomile, geranium, sage and verbena and a heart containing tuberose, ylang-ylang and jasmine, that finishes on a dry powdery note of patchouli, oak moss and vetiver, Elixir is just that, creating unbelievable sensations of seduction and sensuality.
Darling by Kylie Minogue
Like the singer herself, created for a woman of strength and charm, a heady and wonderful flowery fragrance containing top notes of freesia, passion fruit and lychee, a heart sprinkled with lily and boronia, topping off with sandalwood, vanilla and amberwood.
Be Delicious by DKNY
A very popular Chypres perfume projecting freedom, innocence and sensuality, this subtle Donna Karan perfume is a provocative combination of fruit and floral oils. Starting off with top notes of apple, magnolia and grapefruit, mingling with rose, violet, cucumber and tuberose luxuriating into sandalwood, white wood and amber, symbolizes the forbidden fruit of Eden.
Mitsouko by Guerlain
One of the great perfumes by Guerlain, Mitsouko is a refined Chypre perfume that has been blended with lush ripe peaches and spicy notes, a heart of mossy woods which starts off on a cool note but ends seductive and intense. A rich and elegant perfume with a wonderful balance of fragrances. Created in 1919, Hollywood Jean Harlow wore it as well as Charlie Chaplin. It featured as worn by Catherine Deneuve in the film, Belle de Jour.
Chypre perfumes are generally dry due to its wood moss mixes such as sandalwood and earth moss. These fragrances however are rich and long lasting and are ideal for someone who prefers an unusual fragrance.
