Chypre Impérial

Pink pepper snaps open with bergamot and neroli, a bright burst that tarragon's green-licorice edge sharpens into something almost herbal. Clary sage drifts through, softening the citrus burn. In the heart, birch and juniper deepen the woody framework while jasmine unfolds creamy and rose blooms with a soft peppery undertone. Patchouli anchors the floral warmth. The drydown settles into a rich amber bed threaded with oakmoss and Mysore sandalwood—earthy, resinous—as musk and a whisper of ambergris ground everything into skin, ylang-ylang's honeyed top-note curling down to fade into dry wood and amber.
