French niche line Juliette Has A Gun has launched Metal Chypré, a new fragrance in their Luxury Collection.
The smell of copper, fusante, cold, metallic, resolutely modern.
A cheeky remix of a classic chord, this composition modernizes the interpretation of chypre (bergamot, extreme amber, patchouli), without weakening its character. Union of high perfumery and perfumery, an alloy of today and yesterday, futuristic bark of a perfume of always, Metal Chypré, or the art of reconciling the cold and the desire for refinement.
Notes for the citrus chypre include pink pepper, bergamot, amber, daim, orris, patchouli, ambrox, white musk and tonka bean.
Juliette Has A Gun Metal Chypré is available at Nose in France, in 75 ml, €240.

Sounds interesting but the price is ouch.
Yes it is!
Fortunately (for the US anyway) these show up on http://www.notino.com for half that price. Not sure if the same is true of their european site.
I’ve always wanted to hear the “futuristic bark of a perfume of always”.
Did they use Google translate on this copy or something?
The Nose site has buttons to click for English & French, but I suspect that’s exactly what happens.
LOL! Probably from Sanskrit.
I feel like the person who always nags people to use real capitalization/punctuation when they’re texting (which I am), but “chypre”? Where’s the oakmoss? I know, I know…
Absolutely. Several fragrances lately are taking the “chypre” byline, and it doesn’t work. It’s like they think we’re stupid. Demanding consumers will achieve nirvana! Oakmoss: ask for it by name (“Evernia prunastri, please!”).
