What does Chypré Extraordinaire smell like?

Longevity and sillage are both rated strong. Most voters pick autumn and spring, with winter not far behind, and it is chosen mostly for night outs and evenings. Masculine and feminine votes are almost even, so it sits between the two, with a classic feel.

It opens bright with bergamot and aldehydes. In the heart, violet, jasmine, peach and plum add a floral, fruity sweetness. The base lays down a woody, powdery and creamy ground of moss, patchouli, sandalwood and vanilla. Perfumes with a close profile include The Dua Brand Chypré X and Roja Parfums Britannia (2016).
