Alexandria Fragrances Le Chypre is an Extrait de Parfum launched in 2020. Le Chypre opens with Hyacinth, Clementine, Lavender, and Labdanum, settles into a heart of Rose, Jasmine, Iris, and Gardenia, and dries down to a base of Immortelle, Leather, Oakmoss, and Vanilla. Alexandria Fragrances's Le Chypre carries an Acquired verdict, an amber-led wear.

A divisive yet distinctive chypre, Le Chypre demands patience for its impressive dry down. This isn't a scent for everyone, but for those who appreciate complexity and transformation, it's a beautifully crafted journey from challenging opening to elegant conclusion.

About

Le Chypre unfurls with a challenging opening of sweet, indolic white florals and bright clementine, quickly giving way to a rich, evolving heart. Here, a powdery iris and dewy hyacinth intertwine with earthy oakmoss and a plush, animalic leather accord. As it settles, warm amber and balsamic resins emerge, creating a sophisticated and enduring skin scent that's both sweet and subtly animalic, with a hint of dried plum.
