      CHYPRE DE GRAND (2025) • MAKSIM PERFUME, ScentAdvice


      ‘Chypre de Grand by Maksim Perfume reinterprets the traditions of chypre perfumery, drawing inspiration from the classic colognes once favored by Maksim’s great-grandfather. This version maintains the signature balance of fresh citrus accents, floral nuances, and a deep woody-earthy base, while incorporating rare ingredients from Thailand and Siberia that add an unexpected and modern touch. The fragrance opens with sparkling notes of bergamot, lime, and grapefruit, creating an invigorating brightness. This quickly transitions to the heart, where Rose de Mai softens the crispness, while guaiac wood introduces a subtle smokiness. A standout element is Thai licorice, grown and distilled in local provinces—it adds a refined sweet-spicy nuance while preserving the essence of a true chypre. Siberian deer musk unifies the composition, lending a smooth and well-rounded character. The base brings forth the classic chypre structure: oakmoss and a refined “light” patchouli accord that provides noble depth without the weightiness of traditional chypres. Chypre de Grand pays homage to the past while embracing a new perspective, proving that the timeless elegance of chypre can evolve with unexpected ingredients. The result is a versatile fragrance that respects tradition yet fully embodies the spirit of modern perfumery.’ – Maksim Perfume
