Collection: Chypre

Raw materials and bases for building the base and structure of chypre accords: oakmoss, mossy substitutes, patchouli and pre-built bases.

The classic chypre is based on the contrast between a bright opening, traditionally citrus, and a darker, drier, mossy base. This collection focuses mainly on materials useful for constructing the core of the chypre base.

How to build a modern chypre accord

Oakmoss, VERAMOSS and patchouli can provide forest-floor, woody, earthy and mossy nuances. Chypre bases allow you to start from an already balanced structure and modify it with citrus, floral, fruity, leather or amber materials.

For oakmoss, it is important to consider the specific quality of the material and applicable IFRA guidance. Product pages provide the available technical data.
