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
Also Works:
Summer

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

Best Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual
Also Works:
Date Formal

Its moderate longevity and sillage, combined with a fresh and clean profile, make it highly suitable for office and casual wear. While elegant enough for formal settings, it lacks the boldness some prefer for a date or grand event. It's too refined for active sports.

About

Chypre 21 opens with a bright, crisp burst of bergamot and neroli, quickly joined by the unique, slightly rubbery warmth of saffron and the green freshness of violet leaf and rosemary. As it settles, a clean, almost soapy rose emerges, supported by a smooth, contemporary oakmoss and patchouli base. The dry down is a refined blend of soft woods and musk, maintaining a fresh and polished feel throughout.
