«I bought the @annazworykinaperfumes #chypre lover sample set to find out whether I am in fact a chypre lover. All her creations are 100% natural essences and the set she sent me was the ‘natural perfume’ version of the fragrances (as opposed to the EdP version you can also choose) Super potent and with an amazing longevity. And to kill the suspense: I liked them all, so yes, I must be a chypre lover.
💥
Apple Orchard, my favourite (and with a full bottle already in the mail for me): a fruity chypre. I don´t get a lot of apple per se, it´s rather fruit in general. And cognac, oh yes, and black currant, hmmmm. (other notes: galbanum, jasmine, neroli, champaka, roses, lavender, oregano, cardamom, angelica, oakmoss, vetiver, labdanum, vanilla). Just a happy-making scent
💥
Cuir de Russie: will make your chest hair grow! very smoky, tarry, man-who-eats-the-deer-strangled-to-death-raw. Even tho I find it too alpha-male for my own skin, I would like it on my husband (Galbanum, lemon, bergamot, yuzu, absinthe, tar, orange blossom, rose de may, jasmine, ylang ylang, carnation, tobacco, oakmoss, patchouli, labdanum, vetiver, Vanuatu sandalwood, ambrette, castoreum, ambergris) and mind you, I love wearing Anubis, which is also pretty dark and smoky. But this one, despite the jasmine and absinthe, which I really enjoy in it, is just very challenging on my own skin.
💥
Young Cossack: the kid brother of the Russian Leatherman. Am wearing it today, and yes, I can handle it. I get mostly the thyme and oregano and cumin (other notes: Wormwood, immortelle, vetiver, oakmoss, galbanum, absinthe, davana, tarragon, lavender, frankincense, tobacco, costus, agarwood).
💥
Green Madness: wore this to a children’s birthday party once and it kept me sane through 3 hours of madness😋 I get a lot of citrus, although it´s not one of the notes. For being a chypre, a pretty uplifting and invigorating scent (Wormwood, elemi, cedarwood, frankincense, lavender, roses, cognac, Vanuatu sandalwood, angelica root, vetiver, oakmoss)
💥
Currant Mood: obviously a lot of blackcurrant. But also quite some rose and jasmin (and tomato leaves, bergamot, green tea, lavender, labdanum, oakmoss)
💥
Second Skin: this I find a little bit medicinal, maybe my least favourite from her set (bergamot, immortelle, carnation, tuberose, jasmine, ylang ylang, orange blossom, rose, cassia, black tea, cognac, tobacco, vanilla, castoreum, white cedar, sandalwood, labdanum, oakmoss, patchouli, ambrette)
And there also was an additional sample, not part of the chypre set: Shiny Amber: she calls it ‘sunshine in a bottle’ and I think it´s a very good evocation. However, rather the warm, opulent, a little nostalgic, yet soulwarming autumn sunshine, not the glaring, brain boiling summer sun. (ginger, lemon, bergamot, yuzu, jasmine, champaka, benzoin, labdanum, vanilla, tonka bean, ambergris)
