Chypre is a fragrance category that takes its name from the island of Cyprus (in French "Chypre"), and it is known for its sophisticated and complex composition. Chypre fragrances were first developed in the 20th century and have since become one of the most classic and respected fragrance categories in the perfume world.

A typical Chypre fragrance has a base of oakmoss, which provides an earthy and mossy foundation. This base is often accompanied by top citrus notes, such as bergamot, which provide a fresh and exuberant opening. The middle notes can contain floral accents such as rose, jasmine or patchouli, which add a feminine touch to the fragrance. Finally, in the base, there are deeper and richer notes such as oakmoss, labdanum, patchouli and sometimes amber, which gives a warm and seductive feeling.
