In-Depth Summary
François Coty’s Chypre, introduced in 1917, established the modern pattern for a fragrance family built on the contrast of bright citrus and a mossy, wooded base. Bergamot leads into jasmine, rose, lilac, and orris before oakmoss, patchouli, vetiver, resins, woods, and soft animalic notes emerge.
