SHAVE COMPASS BEARING
Chypre structure. Bergamot and lime serve as the citrus entry point, but labdanum, oakmoss, and patchouli carry the real weight of a classic chypre composition. Le Grand Chypre sits at the edge of Citrus Grove where it begins to give way to Fougère Forever.
ARTISAN DESCRIPTION
Chypres ("SHEEP-ruhs") are perhaps our favorite family of fragrances here at Barrister and Mann®. They have a long and storied history, going all the way back to megalomaniac and perfume tycoon François Coty, who created the family in 1917 (and promptly sparked a fragrance revolution).
Inspired by smells indigenous to the island nation of Cyprus, Le Grand Chypre ("Leh Grond SHEEP-ruh") combines notes of bergamot, lime, labdanum, oakmoss, and a touch of patchouli to produce an elegant, citrusy heart. We wrapped it in notes of peach, rose, frankincense, cedar, cinnamon, and other supporting smells to create an elegant, slightly fruity, freshly floral design perfectly suited to the refined shaver.
