Grossmith GOLDEN CHYPRE eau de parfum
Grossmith GOLDEN CHYPRE eau de parfum
Golden Chypre is a 2012 release from London perfume house Grossmith - a house originally founded in the 19th century by John Grossmith before being resurrected. Years of research led to finding the original formula books, from which Grossmith's original 19th century fragrances were brought back. Today, Grossmith is run by Simon, Amanda, Eleanor, and Kate Brooke - 5th and 6th generation descendants of John Grossmith - that have " restored Grossmith to its rightful place as a prominent classic English perfume house that once again is producing the finest perfume in the world."
Golden Chypre, a modern Chypre Floral, is one of the Black Label fragrances, which, as "completely modern fragrances share the complexity, quality and understatement of the Classic and Royal Collections and enrich the contemporary Grossmith fragrance palette". This fragrance, composed by Trevor Nicholl, has an aroma profile of fresh spicy, citrus, aromatic, woody, rose, warm spicy, powdery, musky, amber, and floral.
From Grossmith:
"A bright and contemporary interpretation of the classic chypre, Golden Chypre conjures images of autumn sunlight shimmering on golden leaves.
Spicy notes of cardamom and nutmeg are blended into the opening bright citrus accord. Notes of rose, geranium and heliotrope provide a beautiful balance to the vibrancy of the opening, while the patchouli lends a warm, earthy quality. Dry, smoky vetiver leads seamlessly into a sensual base of woods, amber and musk."
Note: Samples are sold by the 1ml. You may purchase only up to 2ml. Samples of 1ml or less will come in a glass vial with a dabber. Samples larger than 1ml will come in small glass spray bottles. All samples will be consolidated unless expressly requested otherwise.
