A light, nostalgic floral-tart fragrance.

Scents floral-tart with a light honey note and leaves a mild powdery aroma on the skin. Produced by the traditional Czech company ALPA.

In 1918, World War 1 came to an end, and the wild twenties were in the starting blocks. A new fragrance was to accompany them: The fragrance was called "Chypre" named after the island of Cyprus, from which many of the ingredients of this perfume came - "Chypre" in French. The fragrance was not new, but with fragrance composition perfumer Francois Coty created a new class of fragrances. For in the following decades there were Chypre fragrances from quite big perfume houses, such as Guerlain, Chanel, Rochas or Estée Lauder. Even Calvin Klein's CK-One from 1994 is a fresh, citrusy chypre fragrance.

The fragrance
The scent of the Alpa Chypre is reminiscent of the Alt-Innsbruck EdC. However, it is much milder, more subtle. The Alpa Chypre cologne smells aromatic yet mild, floral-sweet musk, with a warm base note. The scent doesn't seem to last all day, and you soon hear only a gentle powdery hint of musk-vanilla aromas on your skin. And this lasts for a couple of hours.

For whom is the fragrance

• For nostalgics
• For ladies and gentlemen

The application
Alpa Chypre is applied like a typical cologne. A couple of drops or several spritzes are applied to the neck, cheeks or on the handkerchief. As an aftershave, the Alpa Chypre is less suitable. The 80% contained are likely to burn quite a bit on the one hand. On the other hand, no skin-soothing care substances are included, such as glycerin, allantoin or menthol.

The packaging
The sturdy-looking glass bottle supports the originality of this cologne. The label is yellow, with a romantic brown oval frame in the center of which dances the silhouette of a naked lady. the lettering "ALPA" and "KOLINSKA VODA" (engl.: cologne) are in dark green.
