ChypreWhat does Private Collection Legacy smell like?
It opens sharp, herbal and crisp, with galbanum, basil and tarragon leading. In the heart, rose and jasmine sambac soften that greenness and add a warm floral note. The base of sandalwood, musk, patchouli and oakmoss grounds it in a woody, earthy dry chypre structure, while the spicy facet stays in the background. Its profile is close to Caron Eaux de Caron Fraîche and Givenchy III.
