ALPA Chypre Eau de Cologne – Nostalgic Unisex Fragrance with Floral, Citrus & Moss Notes A traditional Czech eau de cologne for women and men. Its delicate chypre composition combines floral and citrus notes with a mossy, gently spicy undertone. On the skin, it develops into a mild nostalgic fragrance with a subtly powdery finish. Made by the traditional Czech company ALPA. ALPA Chypre Eau de Cologne is a classic cologne for anyone who appreciates restrained, nostalgic fragrances outside the modern mainstream. Its floral-citrus freshness combines with a mossy undertone and gentle warmth to create a traditional chypre character. ALPA describes Chypre as a universal eau de cologne suitable for both men and women. It is intended to fragrance and refresh intact skin and can be applied to the neck, cheeks, forearms or other desired areas of the body. What does chypre mean? Chypre is the French word for Cyprus. As the name of a modern fragrance family, it was established primarily by François Coty’s influential perfume “Chypre”, released in 1917. Its composition inspired numerous perfumers and made the term an enduring part of international perfumery. Classic chypre fragrances commonly combine a fresh or citrus opening with floral heart notes and a warm, mossy-woody base. Throughout the twentieth century, this basic structure inspired many different interpretations, ranging from elegant floral perfumes to dry and spicy men’s colognes. ALPA Chypre presents this tradition in an uncomplicated and highly wearable form. It is considerably lighter than a concentrated perfume, making it particularly suitable for the more generous application associated with a traditional eau de cologne. The fragrance The manufacturer describes ALPA Chypre as a floral-citrus fragrance with a mossy undertone. Immediately after application, the composition feels fresh and aromatic. Softer floral, gently sweet, spicy and mossy facets then begin to emerge. Fragrance character: Floral, citrus, gently spicy and mossy Opening: Fresh and aromatic Development: Mild floral and subtly sweet impressions Dry-down: Mossy, warm and softly powdery On the skin, the fragrance may also suggest honey, musk or vanilla. These are not officially declared individual fragrance notes, but impressions that describe the cologne’s mild, warm and gently powdery overall character. ALPA Chypre is more restrained than many modern eaux de parfum. It is therefore well suited to anyone who wants to wear a pleasant fragrance without surrounding themselves with an overpowering cloud of scent. Who is ALPA Chypre suitable for? Women and men Admirers of classic chypre fragrances Those who enjoy traditional European colognes Light and unobtrusive everyday fragrance Spring, summer and mild weather An affordable introduction to historically inspired fragrances Directions Pour a few drops into the palms and apply sparingly to the neck, cheeks, forearms or other desired areas of the skin. Alternatively, a small amount may be carefully applied to a pocket square. ALPA recommends use on intact skin only. Discontinue use if skin irritation develops. In case of contact with the eyes, rinse immediately with plenty of water. Because of its high alcohol content, the cologne may sting noticeably on freshly shaved or irritated skin. It does not contain conditioning ingredients commonly associated with a modern aftershave, such as glycerin or allantoin. It is therefore only partly suitable as a post-shave lotion, particularly for sensitive skin. Traditional ALPA presentation The sturdy glass bottle reinforces the cologne’s traditional character. Its nostalgic yellow label features a brown oval frame surrounding the silhouette of a dancing woman. Dark green “ALPA” and “Kolínská voda” lettering – Czech for eau de cologne – completes the vintage presentation.

Blue Waltz Perfume – The Cult Fragrance of American High-School Girls in the 1950s A nostalgic American perfume with a history dating back to 1927. Sweet vanilla, red rose and powdery notes meet lemon, carnation, geranium, benzoin and mossy accords. During the 1950s, Blue Waltz became a popular first perfume for many young American women. It is still presented in its iconic heart-shaped glass bottle with a blue rosebud cap. Made in the USA. Blue Waltz Perfume is far more than a charming nostalgic fragrance. First introduced in 1927, it has accompanied several generations of American women and remains one of the most distinctive affordable perfumes of the twentieth century. Early advertising connected Blue Waltz with the elegance of old Hollywood. Historic promotional material featuring film stars such as Myrna Loy helped establish the fragrance during the 1930s. Its special place in American popular culture, however, developed primarily during the 1950s, when the affordable scent became the first personal perfume for many teenage girls. The little heart-shaped bottle still evokes memories of school dances, jukebox music, first dates and romantic high-school proms. Blue Waltz captures a romantic side of post-war America while remaining noticeably different from conventional modern mainstream fragrances. The fragrance Blue Waltz is a sweet, powdery, floral and gently spicy fragrance with surprisingly fresh and slightly bitter facets. It opens with a light citrus impression before red rose, carnation and geranium reveal its nostalgic floral character. Vanilla, benzoin, coumarin and mossy accords then form a warm, soft base. Fresh notes: Lemon Floral notes: Red rose, carnation and geranium Warm notes: Vanilla, benzoin and coumarin Base character: Powdery and mossy accords On the skin, the composition may also suggest cinnamon, anise, green tea or traditional Christmas spices. These are not formally declared fragrance notes, but impressions that help describe the perfume’s distinctive spicy-powdery character. The fragrance feels romantic and feminine, while carnation, geranium and mossy notes give it a slightly dry vintage edge. This unusual balance clearly distinguishes Blue Waltz from modern perfumes dominated by bright fruit or dessert-like gourmand accords. From Hollywood fragrance to high-school favourite When Blue Waltz appeared in 1927, its presentation initially drew upon the glamorous world of early Hollywood. The affordable perfume later became widely available through American drugstores and department stores. During the 1950s, many young women discovered Blue Waltz as an accessible fragrance for school, dances and special dates. For countless Americans, the little heart bottle became a reminder of youth, first romance and post-war popular culture. The present version continues this nostalgic character. However, changes to raw materials and cosmetic regulations mean that a completely unchanged formula across every decade should not be assumed. The iconic heart-shaped bottle Blue Waltz is presented in a heart-shaped glass bottle standing approximately eight centimetres tall. Its characteristic blue cap resembles a small rosebud and makes the perfume immediately recognisable. The compact bottle fits easily into a handbag, wash bag or dressing-table display. With 18 ml of perfume, it also makes a charming gift for collectors and admirers of historic fragrances, American vintage culture and unusual perfume bottles. Who is Blue Waltz for?

Do not rub the fragrance into the skin; allow it to develop naturally. A few drops are sufficient. Do not apply to irritated or broken skin. Avoid contact with the eyes and mucous membranes. Because the perfume contains alcohol, keep it away from open flames and other ignition sources. Complete the American vintage ritual Those drawn to Blue Waltz for its American heritage and warm powdery character may enjoy Sweet Georgia Brown Hair Tonic as a stylish hair-care companion.
