Barrister and Mann | Le Grande Chypre Hand and Body Soap

$13

Chypres ("SHEEP-ruhs") are perhaps our favorite family of fragrances here at Barrister and Mann®. They have a long and storied history, going all the way back to megalomaniac and perfume tycoon François Coty, who created the family in 1917 (and promptly sparked a fragrance revolution).

Inspired by smells indigenous to the island nation of Cyprus, Le Grand Chypre ("Leh Grond SHEEP-ruh") combines notes of bergamot, lime, labdanum, oakmoss, and a touch of patchouli to produce an elegant, citrusy heart. We wrapped it in notes of peach, rose, frankincense, cedar, cinnamon, and other supporting smells to create an elegant, slightly fruity, freshly floral design perfectly suited to the refined shaver.

Complex and intriguing

LGC at first had me confused, as it was my first encounter with this family of scents. The best way I can describe it is like the smell you would expect in a foggy enchanted forest that hovers at dawn or dusk in perpetuity. It's inviting, mysterious, yet slightly floral, spicy, and vegetal all at the same time. It is enticing. If you smell the bar of soap directly it doesn't make much sense, but once it is slightly diluted with water during washing, or if you waft the fragrance the balance is obvious and it all clearly comes together nicely.
