What do reviewers say about Le Chypre and Chypré Extraordinaire?
A serious chypre for people who know what oakmoss smells like. The castoreum and costus give it an animalic edge that's polarizing by design. Immortelle adds a honeyed sweetness that keeps it.Le Chypre
It dresses like a classic. Thinks like a scandal. The aldehydes up front command respect, but the white florals and peach underneath? That's where it gets interesting.Chypré Extraordinaire
