ChypreWhat does Chypre 1942 (Eau de Parfum) smell like?
Voters find its longevity strong and its sillage good. Most favor fall and spring, with winter and summer further behind. Evening and night-out wear lead, though daily and business use also get votes, and most call its character feminine and classic.
It opens with fresh citrus, then the florals take over, softened by benzoin. In the dry-down, patchouli, oakmoss, amber, tonka bean and vanilla build a sweet, powdery, woody base, and the chypre accord holds everything together.
