Chypre Shot by Olfactive Studio is bold and original. A powerful chypre accord full of character, built on the depth of oakmoss and patchouli, and refined with spicy black pepper, aromatic coffee, and a soft touch of peony. An intriguing and versatile fragrance.
With SEPIA, Olfactive Studio presents a new collection of Extraits de Parfum where art and perfumery meet. This debut trilogy is the result of a collaboration between master perfumer Bertrand Duchaufour – known for Woody Mood – and British artist and photographer Martin Hill, whose images served as inspiration for each creation.
The visual behind Chypre Shot depicts a circle of volcanic stones resting on a bed of moss on Mount Taranaki – a nod to the oakmoss heart of the fragrance. The striking contrasts and misty atmosphere perfectly capture the mysterious, layered spirit of this scent.
Even the bottle tells its story: Olfactive Studio’s signature design is dressed in terracotta-colored leather and finished with a metal ring in ochre tones. The warm palette evokes sepia photographs – treasured memories captured in scent. Chypre Shot is a refined, eclectic, and intense fragrance: a true work of art within haute parfumerie.

A classic chypre is characterized by top notes of citrus, often bergamot; a full-floral heart, like jasmine and rose; and mossy, woody notes in the base, such as patchouli, oak moss, and labdanum. For those who appreciate fragranced complexity and layered compositions, chypres are very exciting and worthwhile to explore!
