Chypre Mousse by Oriza L. Legrand was launched in 1914, a fragrance that Hugo Lambert created to embody the green and earthy essence of the chypre genre. This composition opens with fennel and mint, creating a fresh and aromatic top layer. The heart features oakmoss and fern, adding an unmistakable mossy depth. Vetiver and pine tree needles provide a woody base that grounds the scent in earthy warmth.
Chypre Mousse is a lasting creation that captures the essence of nature's freshness and complexity. Its blend of green notes and aromatic spices makes it feel both contemporary and rooted in tradition, making it a standout choice for those who appreciate a nuanced fragrance.

Application Tips
This fragrance is best applied with two sprays. The fresh top notes will fade within an hour but allow the earthy and woody base to develop over time. It's ideal for cooler weather when you want a scent that feels close to skin rather than projecting into the air.
