Chypre BASE

Chypre is a classic and refined fragrance family in perfumery, characterized by a rich and complex fragrance profile. Here are some key characteristics of chypre fragrances:

• Citrus : The top notes often feature bright and zesty citrus notes such as bergamot, which provides a fresh and invigorating opening.
• Floral : The heart notes usually contain floral elements such as rose, jasmine or lily of the valley, which add a soft and elegant touch.
• Woody : The base notes are where chypre scents really shine, with deep and earthy woody notes like oakmoss, patchouli and vetiver.
• Mossy : A characteristic element of chypre scents is the presence of oakmoss, which adds a green, mossy and slightly powdery quality.
• Resinous and Balsamic : Chypre fragrances often have resinous and balsamic undertones, which provide warmth and depth.

A perfume base is a foundation on which to build when creating a perfume. They are fragrances that contain a mix of ingredients that last a long time and give depth and fullness. Natural fragrances such as essential oils, absolutes and isolates as well as fragrance molecules and fixatives are used. With some experience, perfume bases can even be combined into a harmonious whole, creating unique perfumes.
