Unique composition of wood, ground-herbal patchouli aroma, aromatic oil of bergamot, cedar oil, castoreum and other components, create a highly valued and popular fragrance family of CHYPRE. The name of that group derives from the first perfumes: Chypre Coty, which were inspired by Francois Coty's memorable vacation spent in Cyprus in 1917. Fragrances that belong to that group are divided into three subfamilies: chypre-floral, chypre-wood, and chypre-oriental.
