COMMENT: In 1910, Sauzé Frères launched the ‘Chypre’ eau de Cologne, which contained 33 natural essences. This marked the beginning of the chypre character’s emergence in colognes, eventually giving rise to a distinct family of fragrances that officially began with the launch of Coty’s “Chypre” in 1917. In other words, Sauzé Frères created the first chypre in 1910, seven years before Coty. It was therefore a pioneering house whose history has been largely overshadowed by Coty’s commercial success.
