What does Chypre smell like?

Cardamom and bergamot give the opening a citrusy, lightly spicy lift, with orange blossom softening it. In the heart, jasmine, tuberose and rose lead; the scent stays green and sweet while taking on a powdery air. Ambergris, musk and patchouli settle it onto a woody, resinous base.

Most voters pick autumn first, then spring, and it is spread fairly evenly across evening, leisure and daytime wear. Longevity and sillage are rated good. Most voters read it as feminine, though a fair number find it masculine. Xerjoff Torino23 and Le Labo Myrrhe 55 have a close profile.
