By the editors · 2 min readA floral chypre stripped to essentials — bergamot opens alone, briefly, before the heart of jasmine, ylang-ylang and rose takes over almost immediately. The brevity of the top tier is part of the period style; what mattered was the floral bouquet.
The base is where the structure lives: sandalwood, oakmoss, amber, patchouli and musk, in roughly the proportions you'd expect of a classical chypre, with the moss and patchouli giving the dry-down its earthy bitterness and the amber softening the wood. It wears closer than a modern chypre and lasts longer than its lightness suggests. The overall effect is conservative, slightly powdery, and recognizably from a tradition that no longer dominates new releases.
