A type of fragrance or perfume that has a distinctive scent profile with notes of citrus, floral, and woody/mossy base notes, named after the island of Cyprus.
French word meaning Cyprus, adopted into perfumery terminology in the early 20th century when a famous perfume was created with a composition reflecting the island's aromatic character.
The fragrance world created an entire category of perfume around the idea of an island—it's pure marketing genius from perfumers who captured what they imagined Cyprus would smell like, even if it's completely invented.
