New favorite Chypres scent
Le Grand Chypre is bright off of the tub with a citrus and floral blend that is lightly sweet and extremely pleasant to my nose. There are so many different notes that swirl together from whiffs off the tub, but when lathering begins, these begin to break down into an herbal melange. The remaining scent is a subtle blend of spice, resinous powder, and citrus. This end note is accentuated and extended by use of the aftershave, with plenty of longevity to last. What I find most interesting is that Le Grande Chypre is spicy, but in a “summery” way. Spice is usually accompanied by heavy, dark notes fitting for colder months, but in this case B&M have managed to combine bright citrus and subtle spice notes with an herbal patchouli in an entirely balanced way. It’s a truly fascinating take on the Chypre-genre, and it is my favorite Chypres scent. It is an all-season soap, but definitely a spring and summer favorite for me.

Delightful

Unique scent
A complex and unique scent with a nice floral note to round it out.

Must Have For Shaving
Great aftershave. The burn is not overly aggressive as other alcohol splashes, but it still leaves a refreshing tingle afterwards. The scent lingers for a length of time and is not overwhelming. The scent is… not what I expected, but it certainly grew on me after just 1 day. I also feel that it didn’t dry out my skin.

Unusual and addictive
Le Grand Chypre - one of the most unique aftershaves/splashes I have ever used. Very, very mysterious. I will order more.
