“A 1919 chypre — mossy, brooding, an acquired taste no one warned you about.”
The take
What works
- ●The fragrance that defined chypre — historical importance you can wear
- ●Peach-oakmoss-spice accord nothing else even attempts
- ●Unisex in the truest sense — gendered only by who's wearing it
Trade-offs
- ●Acquired taste — the bitter-medicinal opening turns most modern noses off
- ●Vintage profile that earns the word 'vintage'
