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, a musk-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.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Spring Fall Winter

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal

Its complex, evolving nature and strong presence make it less suitable for everyday office wear, but perfect for date nights or formal events where it can be appreciated. The depth and longevity mean it might overwhelm in casual, close-contact settings.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

In standard patch-test panels

  • Geraniol from Rose
  • Oakmoss Evernia prunastri extract from Oakmoss

Other declarable allergens

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

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.
