What does Chypre Shot smell like?

Its longevity is rated strong and its sillage good. Most voters pick autumn and winter, spring follows, and summer is the least chosen season. It leans towards leisure and evening wear. It has no clear gender lean: votes split almost evenly between masculine and feminine.

The top notes of cardamom, bergamot and saffron give a spicy, fresh start. In the heart, coffee and black tea add a sweet, gourmand depth, softened a little by Madagascar pepper and peony. The base settles into a woody, resinous ground of patchouli, labdanum, oakmoss and amber. Its profile is close to Maison Francis Kurkdjian Grand Soir and The House of Oud Just Before.
