Chypre Sultan

Japanese yuzu takes a dip in lily of the valley as a sprinkle of hyacinth steeped in jonquille tries to break onto the stage.

But, just when you’ve taken a fresh spritz, all of the discreet top notes that await you first have to pass through a thick cloud of rare Mongolian Musk.

A collision of Irian oud’s green cool and Mongolian Musk’s super earthy tenacity stirs on this tingling sensation in your gums—a tangible titillation that makes it more than just a smell.

This unique green-cool interplay that bursts through the cloud of musk is courtesy of an exceptional cast of Irian oud laced with precious walla patta composed around, not your typical lemon/citrus chord that opens most chypres, but a bouquet of flowers hovering around the fusion of yuzu and lily of the valley.

The heavy dose of vintage Mongolian Musk’s prism-like effect on the yuzu-hyacinth opening is tinged with a gentle sweetness blended with oakmoss and a montage of vintage sandalwood from Sultan Qaboos’ treasury.

Those who know something about musk ask me if I use the grains or the sack. It’s a fair question…… until you work with musk this old and potent, where you literally don’t know where the sack ends and the grains begin. If not for a few hairs you can hardly tell which side is the shell and which side the belly. (So, yes, both.)

The obscene amount of wild Irian and Sri Lankan oud in Chypre Sultan makes it the Gyrinops daddy of Oud Yusuf… who comes to the premier wearing an oceanic, aquamarine suit washed in vintage Mysore, tailored by the Sultan himself.

The distinct blast of Mongol Musk then projects the chypre’s zest and lifts the tantalizing profile and keeps it going for hours to enshroud you in a fragrant aura that penetrates whoever’s nose passes you—through both masks!

Featured Testimonials…

Sultan, Sultan where have you been? Standing in front of a flower field. The sun is high and shining bright, here I am my friend. Stay close to me and smell the obnoxious scents of this field.

An old infested tree in the middle of the field. Let’s burn it and mix the beautiful smell with that of the field. Irresistible this moment, captured in our memories. Chypre Sultan, oh you beautiful scent, woody, spicy, fresh and a chypre to the core. —Robert S. / USA

After a long time of doing research on this perfume I’ve decided to pull the trigger and I haven’t regretted it.

 

The chypre sultan smells so extremely good, a green, oudy and ultra musky experience.

 

I’ve just applied 2 tiny sprays on my neck and I got covered in a cloud of this beautiful chypre.

 

Chypre perfumes have been always a difficult thing for me, somehow I couldn’t find a proper chypre that suits my preferences …

 

When I’ve tried Chypre Sultan it changed my view on chypre perfumes completely.

Chypre Sultan does have a few of the classic chypre characteristic but then there’s this extreme amount of musk and oud.

 

The musk hits so hard and it works perfectly with the other ingredients. It’s hard to pick up single notes since it’s so well blended. All I can say is, that this perfume is probably the most manly smell that I’ve ever got from an EO perfume

Currently it’s extremely hot and humid over here and the Chypre Sultan is still a great performer but I think that it’ll unfold its true power in the colder months.

 

The brew itself is dark-brown and it seems like there’s an absurd amount of musk in it. I’ve only seen such a huge amount of residue on the bottom bottle of my

Chinese exclusive (which is also overloaded with musk tincture) and I love that. Can you have too much musk? I don’t think so

 

The leather case on this perfume is probably one of my favorites in my entire collection. The clean brown leather looks phantastic.

 

Now I can understand why Josh got 3 bottles for himself

 

Addictive stuff

 

Big props to the maestro Ensar for creating this juice

 

UPDATE:

 

 

In my opinion Chypre Sultan could be called the best masculine scent from the house of EO.

 

Tons of musk floating in a dark ocean of green notes, complimented with a creamy touch of sandalwood and the fresh bitterness of yuzu and cypress. The Irian and Sri Lankan oud adds even more green and dark notes with a slight hint of incense to the composition.

 

This is one of those scents that makes you want to spray more and more of it, it should come with a warning sign that tells the customer about the highly addictive smell.

 

…It was love at the first spray and I’m more than happy that I could manage to get a backup before it disappeared from the website.
