Chypre powder, which has given its name to the Chypre family in perfumery, is made mostly from the moss that lives as a parasite on oak trees. Oak moss is always mixed with bits of bark torn off when moss is harvested, so its smell mingles with the scent of the tannin, a fragrant green component of the oak wood. Long ago fashionable people used Chypre powder to powder their skin or their wig. It was also used in making potpourri, “sachets” and baskets of fragrances.
