Amyris Chypre

Amyris Chypre is our modern take on the chypre idea: bright citrus, cool-green lift, and a polished Amyris wood core that reads clean, dry, and quietly magnetic. It wears with the balance chypre lovers prize - fresh top, woody and mossy underneath. It's composed rather than loud.

The opening is vivid and purposeful. Italian grapefruit sets a crisp, luminous tone; Bourbon rose geranium adds a mint-tinged floral snap; a soft thread of jasmine brings light and dimension. The brightness doesn't shout, but it draws you in without crowding the room.

As the fragrance settles, Amyris takes the lead - balsamic, sandalwood-smooth, subtly resinous - braided with the gentle smoke of guaiac wood. A touch of violet leaf keeps the art fresh while the texture turns warmer and more tactile, like the grain of a well-finished wood under the hand.

The dry-down is classic chypre in a modern key: oakmoss, aged patchouli, labdanum resin, and Haitian vetiver shape a supple, mossy base that lingers with measured presence for 6-8 hours. Non-sweet, versatile, and softly seductive, Amyris Chypre moves easily through every season and setting. It's an easy signature for anyone who prefers clarity and craftsmanship over excess.

Perfumer's Note: I love chypres! I just can’t help it … the magical synergies contained within a well-made chypre are fascinating to me. Which takes me to Amyris Wood … I’ve long thought that an Amyris Wood Chypre would be a wonderful idea. So, I created Amyris Chypre, a true rarity in today’s world. It combines old-fashioned perfumery with modern techniques and technology to create something timeless yet current.  I hope you enjoy it.
