Floris London Chypress is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2017. Chypress opens with Bergamot, Lemon, Orange, and Neroli, settles into a heart of Rose, Jasmine, Ylang-Ylang, and Osmanthus, and dries down to a base of Musk, Amber, Patchouli, and Vanilla. Floris London's Chypress carries a Favourite verdict, a fresh-led wear.

Chypress is a soft, citrusy floral that’s either a beautifully blended, timeless classic or an old-fashioned scrubber resembling soap. This one's divisive, so sample before you buy.

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.

About

Opens with a bright burst of neroli and bergamot, leading into a heart of lush osmanthus, jasmine, and rose. Beneath these vibrant florals, a delicate base of musky amber and a whisper of vanilla gives it a clean, soft finish. It's a gold-hued floral with a clean, slightly soapy edge, grounded by a gentle warmth.
