Chypre Toscano
by Unique'e Luxury
Chypre Toscano presents a dark, woody leather profile that is both intense and layered, evoking strong comparisons to Tom Ford's Tuscan Leather and discontinued fragrances like Dsquared Potion Royal Black. The opening features a sweet, plum-like fruity note from black tea and violet, which tempers the pronounced leathery and smoky base. Over time, the fragrance evolves into a mature, powdery composition with woody, amber, and smoky accords, creating a serious yet slightly playful tone. Its performance is notably strong: long-lasting, with a moderate to strong sillage that lingers for hours, making it ideal for nighttime wear and colder seasons. The scent carries a mysterious, dark energy—reminiscent of industrial leather, oud, and rubbery notes—which some find challenging, but others appreciate for its bold, confident personality. Despite its heavier character, it remains airy and fresh thanks to lavender, thyme, and green herbal notes, preventing it from becoming overly dense or cloying.
