Oriza L. Legrand Chypre Mousse is an Eau de Parfum launched in 1914. Chypre Mousse opens with Green, Fennel, and Mint, settles into a heart of Angelica, Oakmoss, Galbanum, and Fern, and dries down to a base of Vetiver and Pine. Oriza L. Legrand's Chypre Mousse carries an Acquired verdict, a green-led wear.

Chypre Mousse is a polarising, utterly unique green chypre that's either a masterful, super-realistic damp forest floor or an unwearable, medicinal headache. Sample first, because when it's bad, it's really bloody awful.

About

It opens with a bracing, almost medicinal hit of green mint and aromatic fennel, conjuring up fresh, cool air. As it settles, a dense, earthy heart unfolds with rich oakmoss and damp fern, evoking a truly realistic forest floor after a downpour. The base of vetiver and pine deepens the woody, almost resinous quality, creating a complex, natural, and profoundly green profile.
