Chypre 21

Chypre 21 by Heeley is an unisex extrait de parfum in the niche price tier. It opens with bergamot, rosemary and petitgrain, moves into neroli, bulgarian rose and saffron and dries down to musk, oakmoss, patchouli and sandalwood. Expect around 10 hours of wear, and it projects at a moderate level.

Notes, explained

Opening

Bergamot Sharp citrus with a faint bitter edge. The opening of about half of all men's fragrances.
Rosemary Sharp, camphorous herb. Bracing and clean, borders on medicinal.
Petitgrain Bitter twigs and leaves of the orange tree. Dry and a little green.

Heart

Neroli Distilled orange blossom. Green, soapy and elegant.
Bulgarian Rose Fresh, dewy and green. The 'real rose garden' version.
Saffron Leathery, medicinal and slightly metallic. The signature of modern niche.

Dry-down

Musk Warm, skin-like and slightly sweet. Makes a fragrance feel like you.
Oakmoss Damp forest floor. Bitter, green and the backbone of every chypre.
Patchouli Damp earth and dark chocolate. Either you love it or it's your least favourite note.
Sandalwood Creamy, milky wood. Soft and almost edible.
