Chypre
Chypre is named after the island of Cyprus, inspired by its traditional, indigenous perfume blend of citrus, oakmoss, and labdanum.
Top notes are bright and usually include several citrus oils. The heart notes can be floral or herbal accords, such as lavender and rose, these help to bring depth to the citrus. The base notes are usually light wood, to provide longevity. Honeysuckle - mandarin, jasmine, labdanum; Little Fig Tree - light fruits, vanilla and benzoin. TT - lime, yuzu, herbs and cedar-wood.
Fruit/floral
Aroma Borealis - citrus, peach and rose; Dhoon Glen - wild-strawberry, light woods; traditionally contained the wonderful scent of oakmoss or tree moss. Sadly this has now been banned by EEC and IFRA, so we use a brace of other oils to replace it.
