Maksim Perfume Chypre de Grand is an Extrait de Parfum launched in 2025, created by Maxim Bortnikov. Chypre de Grand opens with Bergamot, Grapefruit, and Lime, settles into a heart of Musk, Guaiac Wood, Licorice, and Beeswax, and dries down to a base of Virginia Cedarwood, Patchouli, Oakmoss, and Labdanum. Maksim Perfume's Chypre de Grand carries an Acquired verdict, a fresh-led wear.

A modern chypre that harks back to the genre's golden age with serious elegance and a musky, animalic bite. It's a challenging wear for some, but for those who get it, it's a triumph.

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

This grand chypre opens with a potent, almost medicinal, blast of bergamot, grapefruit, and lime rinds, not bright but richly oily. It quickly deepens into a complex heart where earthy licorice intertwines with animalic beeswax and a soft, ethereal rose. The base unveils a sophisticated blend of authentic oakmoss, patchouli, and Virginia cedarwood, creating a dense, dry, and deeply satisfying finish that lingers for hours.
