Chypre Shot
by Olfactive Studio
Chypre Shot presents a warm, gourmand chypre with a pronounced cardamom and amber core, accented by subtle coffee, peppery spice, and a smooth mossy base. It evolves into a rich, enveloping scent that feels both modern and classic, with a soft, spicy-sweet character reminiscent of roasted coffee, cardamom, and a hint of floral peony. The fragrance unfolds on skin with a natural grace, requiring body heat to fully bloom and deliver its full potency. It performs well through the day, lingering with moderate projection and a long linger in the evening, making it particularly fitting for autumn and winter wear. While some note the lack of strong coffee or pepper, the overall composition is praised for its comfort, depth, and smooth transition from opening to drydown.
