Olfactive Studio Chypre Shot is an Extrait de Parfum launched in 2018, created by Bertrand Duchaufour. Chypre Shot opens with Bergamot, Cardamom, and Saffron, settles into a heart of Black Tea, Peony, Pepper, and Coffee, and dries down to a base of Amber, Patchouli, Oakmoss, and Labdanum. Olfactive Studio's Chypre Shot carries a Statement verdict, a musk-led wear.

Chypre Shot is a divisive, modern chypre that's either a gorgeously spiced, cosy coffee dream or a harsh, skanky mess. It's got plenty of fans who adore its complexity, but it's not a safe blind buy.

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:
Fall Winter

A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Casual

Its long-lasting nature and strong sillage, combined with its rich, warm, and somewhat intense profile, make it less ideal for office wear. It truly shines for dates, formal events, or evening casual wear, as many reviews highlight its romantic, mysterious, and sophisticated qualities.

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

  • Oakmoss Evernia prunastri extract from Oakmoss

Other declarable allergens

  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot
  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot
  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot

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

An intriguing, complex scent that opens with a warm, spicy hit of cardamom and saffron, brightened by bergamot. The heart introduces a rich, aromatic blend of black tea and a subtle coffee note, with a hint of peppery kick and soft peony. It dries down to a sophisticated, earthy base of oakmoss and patchouli, softened by amber and a touch of labdanum, creating a velvety, enveloping warmth with a distinctly modern chypre backbone.
