Chypre perfume is dedicated to the Italian actress Anna Magnani (1908-1973), the intelligent woman of strong character, pride and unconventional beauty. Her lioness attitude and her scent mixed with cigarette smoke left a deep impact on those around her. Chypre opens with notes of bergamot, mandarin and orange blossom, leading to the passionate heart of tuberose, jasmine, damask rose and benzoin. The base is composed of patchouli, vanilla, amber, tonka bean and Mysore sandalwood.
The perfume is available as fragranzia supreme in bottles of 75 ml.
Chypre was launched in 2011. The nose behind this fragrance is Marie Duchene.

An immediate issue for me is the replacement of Oakmoss with Patchouli in the Chypre structure of this and all new perfumes. Patchouli has traditionally been used in Orientals, and has a very distinctive feel, even when used discreetly as it is here. Hence, it this perfume does not feel like a Chypre at all to those traditionalists amongst us. Also, the Bergamot, while well dosed, is rather polite. This perfume needs a boost of something green- maybe a more pungent Bergamot, or the addition of Vetiver.
How we will survive without Oakmoss is beyond me.
More to come later, as I am still becoming friends with this perfume. I adore Anna Magnani and hope to find this scent does her reputation justice.
I expected much more... - given the name and the other lovely scents in the line (try Anonimo Veniziano, for example). Chypre Nobile starts off like a cheap drugstore scent in the style of Jovan MUSC - and it smells like one of these musky fragrances for a while. Bewilderment on my side - so much money for such a trite, banal fragrance? After 10 min, the scent changes and wraps you into a cloud of tonka-bean and vanilla. Not a chypre, neither "noble" nor classical in its composition.
Very disappointing. This is a vanilla-based ambery oriental, not a chypre!
