What do reviewers say about Chypre 21 and Chypre (2020)?
Built for those who found the classic chypre too much. Not the archetype, the weight of it. Chypre 21 strips the tradition down to its essential clarity.Chypre 21
If you want the classic 1930 chypre beast mode, look elsewhere. This 2020 version plays nicer, but the animalic drydown still has teeth. It's a creamy, indolic dream.Chypre (2020)
