Wedding Fragrances: The Perfect Choice for Bride and Groom
Weddings live on not only in photographs. They linger in the little things: the whispers of guests, ...
SKLVA [cassis chypre] is a chypre unisex fragrance from the Ukrainian brand SKLVA, released in 2020.
This eau de toilette has an expressive, composed character and a very powerful sillage. It is intended for those who enjoy noticeable compositions with green bitterness, spices and a deep mossy-woody finish.
The name cassis chypre accurately conveys the central idea of the release: the juicy tartness of blackcurrant is combined with a classic chypre structure.
As a result, the fragrance does not smell like a simple berry accord, but rather like a multifaceted composition in which fruity freshness gradually gives way to incense, herbs, moss and dry woody nuances.
Perfumer Anna Sokolova worked on the creation of the fragrance.
She succeeded in creating a contrasting development: a cool, slightly sparkling opening, a rich aromatic heart and a substantial chypre trail that lingers on the skin and clothes for a long time.
The composition opens with aldehydic freshness, the green scent of blackcurrant leaves and a spicy duo of cardamom and nutmeg.
Elemi adds resinous transparency, so the first minutes feel full-bodied and dynamic, without any sense of heaviness.
In the heart, blackcurrant becomes richer and more tart.
Incense brings dry balsamic depth, while juniper and sage sustain the cool aromatic effect, and green nuances maintain the connection with the opening accord.
The base reveals the classic side of the chypre profile: amber softens the composition, oakmoss creates its recognizable earthy texture, while patchouli and vetiver add dryness, bitterness and refined woody austerity.
The finish is long-lasting, composed and noticeable, evoking a cool forest after rain and dark berries resting on damp greenery.
SKLVA [cassis chypre] was created as a unisex fragrance and develops equally intriguingly on women’s and men’s skin.
It will appeal to those who prefer green, mossy, spicy and woody fragrances with character rather than sweet gourmand compositions.
Because of its very powerful sillage, this eau de toilette is best suited to cool weather, transitional seasons and evening outings.
The fragrance is appropriate for occasions where expressiveness matters: a walk, a meeting, an intimate event or the theatre.
On a hot day or in a small enclosed space, it may seem too intense, so moderation is especially important.
Precise recommendations for the number of sprays on skin and clothing are not provided for this release in the database.
Start with a small amount and see how the composition behaves on your own skin: its powerful sillage quickly becomes the main accessory of your look.
In terms of mood, the fragrance may appeal to fans of Estée Lauder Knowing, as well as to lovers of classic chypres with green bitterness, moss and vetiver.
At the same time, SKLVA [cassis chypre] stands out through its emphasis on blackcurrant, juniper and incense: its character feels cooler, spicier and more resinous.
Within the Ukrainian brand SKLVA’s collection, this release comes across as a confident take on the traditional chypre formula.
It shows that a modern fragrance can be both austere and lively, recognizable and unconventional.
It is a choice for those seeking not just a pleasant scent, but a perfumed image with a distinctive signature.
The fragrance is very long-lasting, staying on the skin for 12 hours or more, gradually revealing its notes
The scent will linger in the air even after its wearer has left.
The perfume has a rich aroma that will help you stand out from the crowd and create a memorable image
A light and elegant fragrance with harmonious richness—the perfect balance between the depth of eau de parfum and the freshness of cologne
Perfumes for the fall and winter seasons often contain notes of vanilla, spices, ambergris, wood, and other warm accords, creating a feeling of comfort and warmth during the cold months
The top notes open with aldehydes, blackcurrant leaf, cardamom, elemi and nutmeg.
The green accord of blackcurrant leaf is especially expressive, lending the composition a cool astringency.
Blackcurrant, incense, juniper and sage come together at the heart. This stage of the fragrance balances fruity juiciness with dry aromatic and balsamic nuances.
The base consists of amber, oakmoss, patchouli and vetiver. The mossy-woody accord supports the classic chypre structure and creates a long-lasting, very powerful trail.
The overall composition combines fruity, green, spicy, aromatic, balsamic, ambery, woody, and earthy-mossy nuances.
The result is an expressive chypre fragrance with a tart berry heart and a deep, dry finish.
