What does Chypre d'Orient smell like?

Longevity and sillage are both rated good. Most voters pick fall, followed by spring and winter, and use is spread across leisure, daily, evening and business wear. Most voters read it as feminine, while some call it classic.

It opens with bergamot, mandarin orange and neroli, a fresh, fruity brightness sharpened by green galbanum. The heart builds a floral body from rose, jasmine, osmanthus and iris. In the base, patchouli, oakmoss, amber and musk pull it toward a woody, earthy, resinous sweetness. Molinard Une Histoire de Chypre and Robert Piguet Bandit Suprême have a close profile.
