Collection: Cyprus

The chypre perfume family (pronounced "sheep-r," from the French name for the island of Cyprus) represents one of perfumery's most noble and refined olfactory architectures. The classic structure arises from the contrast between a bright, citrusy bergamot opening and a warm, enveloping base built on oakmoss, patchouli, and labdanum, often enhanced by floral accords of rose and jasmine.

Officially born in 1917 with Coty's famous Chypre, this accord gave rise to an entire family characterized by elegance, depth, and an unmistakable sillage. These are sophisticated fragrances of great personality, with an aristocratic and timeless temperament, perfect for those seeking structured and distinctive perfumes, ideal for colder seasons and the most important occasions.

In this collection, you'll find the best chypre interpretations from niche and luxury brands selected by VG Charme.
