Lalique Les Compositions Parfumées - Chypre Silver is a unisex chypre that pairs the freshness of Italian bergamot and violet leaf with a floral heart of Turkish rose and jasmine sambac, drying down to leather and patchouli.

What does Les Compositions Parfumées - Chypre Silver smell like?

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick autumn and spring, though summer has plenty of support too. It leans towards leisure and evening wear, and with feminine and masculine votes almost equal, it sits comfortably on either.

It opens fresh and green, with bergamot and mandarin orange sharpened by violet leaf. In the heart, orange blossom and rose add a powdery floral softness. The base of benzoin, patchouli, leather and musk gives it a spicy, woody, leathery chypre frame.
