About

The opening is fresh and faintly ozonic, which is an unusual way into a chypre and gives it a cleaner start than the genre normally allows. The heart is warm and rounded, and the base does the real work: oak moss and smoky vetiver, the mossy-earthy structure that defines a chypre. Angela Flanders bottles this scent at two strengths. The Eau de Toilette is the lighter of the two: the brand's own guidance is that the Eau de Toilette is for applying more liberally and more often, while the Eau de Parfum is for people who spray less frequently and want greater longevity. The composition is the same; what changes is how long it stays and how far it carries. True chypres have become rare since oak moss restrictions tightened, so a house still building them is worth noting. Caspian dates from 1987 and reads of that era in the best sense, closer to the classic mossy structures than to anything current.
