Chypre vs. Oriental

post #1 of 3
Thread Starter 
I'm a bit confused, and a newbie. :-? I thought I couldn't stand most chypres and loved orientals, but I'm not thrilled by Samsara and love Mitsouko. I've seen Mitsouko called an oriental and a chypre, and I believe Samsara is a classic oriental. Help! What's what and what's the difference, anyway?? Thanks for any help.

I would try to explain it but I think this will do it better than I: http://perfumeshrine.fortunecity.com/perfumeterms.html?

Enjoy reading. I spend a lot of time reading this page and I found it to be VERY helpful.

Thank you, that site really helped. I guess I do like some chypres after all!
