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.

It has since become the one-of-a- kind olfactory archives that to this day remains unique in the world. The idea of a “Maison des Parfums” (Home of Perfumes) was under evaluation by the technical commission of the Société Française des Parfumeurs for years. The aim was to create a place where professionals and fragrance lovers could rediscover the perfumes they had once known and loved. In addition, the institution was to devote itself to scents long forgotten, to become the only place where lost or discontinued fragrances could be reproduced, classified and archived. In order to realize such an ambitious project, several passionate perfumers, members of the commission, had to show a great deal of commitment and determination. Together they set to revive lost perfumes, creating their records and thus protecting the heritage of the fragrance industry. Those pioneers collected some 400 fragrances, of which 70 were already at the time discontinued. Two institutions have been enthusiastically and determinedly supporting the project: the Comité Français du Parfum (CFP) and the Chambre de Commerce et d’Industrie de Versailles Val d’Oise-Yvelines (CCIV). Thanks to their financial support, the Osmothèque has grown over the years...

  • Perfumery Theme Park Museum CYPRUS
    Perfumery Theme Park Museum CYPRUS Back to genesis of “Chypre” a fragrance family that is as acclaimed as it is shrouded in mystery DEDICATION The Park would still be nothing but a dream if not for Philachtis Michael, better known as “Pappous” and Amina Thoma, our beloved “Anna”. They both believed in this dream and did contributed greatly in turning this idea from a mere dream into a reality, into an actual business plan. Following their suggestions, Maria Michael better known as “Giagia”, with the help of her grandson brought the Park to life and made it a non profit cultural institution, whose goal is to help those in need. Taking all this into consideration, we dedicate this booklet to our beloved "Anna" and “Pappus”, who have sadly left us far too early.. “THE CYPRUS PERFUME THEME PARK” Project on Cyprus cosmetic heritage conservation Acronym: CYPE-PARK The relationship between human cultural traditions and genetic legacy is the dual inheritance of the environmental anthropologists Robert Boyd and Peter Richardson. They recognised that in addition to the genetic inheritance that has made all creatures, humans had additionally a unique cultural inheritance and that these two legacies behaved in similar but not identical ways. A genetic past is our inheritance from our evolutionary history and our cultural past is our inheritance from our more immediate ancestors. Millions of years of evolution control our behaviour, but evolution have also given us the ability to modify our genetic behaviour by transmitting culture from one generation to another. Culture is transmitted through learning and the cumulative experience allows the development of skills, cooperative behaviour and conscious identity other creatures don’t have.
