by Les Indemodables
Chypre Azural by Les Indemodables is a bright, citrus-forward fragrance centered around juicy, green orange with a prominent herbal note of tarragon. It opens with a vivid, clean burst of citrus zest and aromatic greenery, creating an effervescent, uplifting character reminiscent of fresh orange peel and morning dew. As it develops, the scent transitions into a smoother, powdery core with subtle patchouli and amber undertones, evoking a gentle, soapy drydown that is less classic chypre than modern, citrus-centric. The perfume reveals a restrained floral heart—rose and jasmine—along with a delicate, almost chewy gourmand quality that gives it depth without overwhelming its freshness. Despite its name, the chypre character is subtle, leaning more toward a dry, herbal citrus cologne than a mossy, oakmoss-heavy chypre. The projection is moderate to strong, and longevity is notably strong—some users report lasting 12+ hours, though it tends to lean close to the skin. It is unisex, widely appreciated in warm weather, and particularly beloved during spring and summer. The scent is praised for its natural quality and modern elegance, carrying a refined simplicity with no synthetic or artificial notes.
