Google hit:
Le " chypre " créé en 1917 par François Coty est à l’origine du mot " chypré " désignant une famille de parfum. C’est un accord qui est devenu une structure de base que le parfumeur peut habiller au gré de son imagination. L’accord chypré est toujours composé de bergamote, rose, jasmin, mousse de chêne, patchouli et labdanum.
