Bortnikoff Chypre du Nord Handmade Sample

This is a 1 ml handmade perfume sample that lasts 2-3 days.

Chypre du Nord by Bortnikoff is a classically inspired fragrance that revives and extends the European scent traditions of the classic, sophisticated chypre. Chypre - which is the name of a fragrance family consisting of citrus, labdanum, and oakmoss - originates from France in the early 1900s, and in Chypre du Nord, perfumer Dmitry Bortnikoff has added his own touch to the style. Although chypre is a traditional and well-established fragrance style, the specially cultivated and hand-distilled ingredients used by Bortnikoff mean that Chypre du Nord has a depth of complexity that is completely unique in comparison.

In the top notes, we find citrus in the form of bergamot and orange, while the heart consists of peach and nutmeg. The base is composed of benzoin, aromatic Siberian musk, soapy oakmoss, tonka bean, as well as woody, robust accords of cedar and birch tar. A fruity, sophisticated unisex perfume with citrus overtones, blending spices with wood and soapy extravagance.
