What do reviewers say about Le Chypre and Diaghilev?
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
The civet and oakmoss make this a fragrance that wears you as much as you wear it. It's not subtle, it's a statement made at full volume in a library.Diaghilev
