The market for Chypre runs from body mist to otto extrait.
Chanel, Guerlain and niche counters share a family and disagree on dose.
Houses
- Coty — The name.
- Guerlain — Mitsouko.
- Dior — Miss Dior.
- Clinique — Aromatics Elixir.
- Grès — Cabochard.
- Rochas — Femme.
Price bands
- Designer chypre restage — Evernyl, quieter.
- Heritage Guerlain / Dior — The teaching bottles.
- Power chypre — Aromatics-weight.
- Vintage pre-IFRA — Collector market, variable juice.
Trends
- Moss substitutes — The central R&D story.
- Niche 1917 cosplay — Named bergamot-labdanum-moss.
- Floral-chypre revival — Miss Dior flankers, uneven.
- Patch-moss dirt — Coty’s modernism reused in niche.
Stats
- 1917 naming — A late but decisive baptism.
- Oakmoss caps — Changed more formulas than any other IFRA file in this atlas.
- Complexity — Among the highest — a structure, not a note.
- Approachability — Low; bitterness is the point.
Price is not quality; it is harvest, IFRA and a story about Chypre.
