Chypre-Siam

Chypre-Siam – Eau de Toilette

Floral. Resinous. Mossy. Green. Soft Leather.

The day I sampled Coty’s original Chypre in 2012, I understood I wasn’t just smelling a perfume — I was smelling the bones of an entire era.

Days later, the kaffir lime leaves I was picking for a curry carried me right back to that sample. The idea was immediate: capture the experience of Coty’s Chypre through Southeast Asian materials. Kaffir lime, holy basil, jasmine, ylang… each chosen with the precision of a chef choosing ingredients for a single night’s service.

It took five years to bring Chypre-Siam to life, and its survival depends on materials that still meet my original standard. When a raw material falls short, production simply waits. What you get is the same experience I intended from the start — not a reinterpretation to fit what’s easy to source.

Notes: Kaffir Lime, Basil, Spices, Jasmine, Ylang-Ylang, Oakmoss, Sandalwood, Benzoin, Soft Leather, Civet.
