Kypre by Lanc么me c1935
Kypre by Lanc么me: launched in 1935. Created by Armand Petitjean. Lanc么me launched its first five fragrances in 1935 at the World's Fair in Brussels - Tendre Nuit, Bocages, Conquete, Kypre and Tropiques.
Fragrance Composition:
So what does it smell like? It was a chypre perfume with mossy and woodsy notes.
- Top notes: bergamot and galbanum
- Middle notes: jasmine, iris, violet, orris
- Base notes: cedar, labdanum, tonka, oakmoss, sandalwood, patchouli, amber, musk
Armand Petitjean, creator of the perfume, explains it thus:
"Kypre should be treated like a Burgundy; it needs to age in the bottle, like the wine. In our climate, it is more of a perfume for winter and for festivities, but in the East and in South America, it appeals in all seasons…”
Bottle:
Flacon below designed by Georges Delhomme and manufactured by Verri猫res de la Bresle
The Fate of the Fragrance:
Discontinued, date unknown. Still being sold in 1952.
