Chypre du Nord

The scent of an old library at dusk, where the air is filled with the earthy aroma of leather-bound books and the faint hint of incense from a nearby chapel.

The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Chypre du Nord by Bortnikoff was launched in 2020, crafted by Dmitry Bortnikoff to embody the essence of a modern chypre fragrance for unisex wear. The composition opens with bright citrus notes from bergamot and orange, which are soon enveloped by earthy oakmoss and birch tar. A warm heart of nutmeg and benzoin adds depth, while the base of cedar, tonka bean, and natural musk creates a powdery, leathery warmth that lingers on the skin.

How to wear it

Apply one to two sprays to pulse points. The citrus top notes are bright but fleeting, so allow it time to settle into its woody base. Best for evening wear when the powdery musk comes through most effectively.
