The story behind the bottle.
Chypre Shot by Olfactive Studio, launched in 2018 and masterminded by Bertrand Duchaufour, is a composition that balances warmth with earthy depth. The fragrance opens with cardamom and saffron, creating an immediate sense of fresh spice that cuts through the air like a sharp knife. As it evolves, bergamot and coffee offer an aromatic richness, while black pepper and black tea add a pungent edge. This complexity is further enhanced by peony's floral softness and amber’s enveloping warmth, all anchored by oakmoss, patchouli, and labdanum, which ground the scent in its earthy, woody essence.
Chypre Shot's strong sillage and long-lasting nature mean that a single spray is often enough. The cardamom and saffron notes are particularly vibrant in the opening moments, so applying right before you leave ensures they have time to develop fully on your skin.
