ChypreWhat does Bakír (Perfume) smell like?
It opens with bergamot, orange blossom and petitgrain, sharpened by galbanum and pimento, while labdanum and frankincense add a resinous weight and raspberry a soft sweetness. The heart brings jasmine, rose and heliotrope, with patchouli and geranium giving the florals an earthy edge. In the base, oakmoss, sandalwood, cedar, musk and vanilla settle into a woody, animalic, faintly smoky chypre. Bakír shares a close profile with perfumes such as Dali and Obsession.
