What does Chypre de Grand smell like?

The top notes of Italian bergamot, lime and white grapefruit give it a bright, sharp start. In the heart, Siam benzoin, May rose and beeswax add a floral, resinous softness, while Thai licorice and Paraguayan gaiac wood bring spice and smoke. The base of French oakmoss, Spanish labdanum and Indonesian patchouli builds an earthy, green chypre foundation, with Virginia cedar adding a woody line.

Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Its dark, mature character doesn't tie it to one gender; it can be worn by men and women alike. Fans of mossy chypres may find a close profile in Sultan Pasha Attars Encens Chypre and Parfum Prissana Savitri.
