Calypso by Robert Piguet (1959, riedited 2011)
Calypso. It 's the name of the beautiful nymph, daughter of God Atlas who, in the Odyssey, loves Ulysses and keeps him on her island for seven years, until Zeus sends Hermes to convince her to allow Ulysses to leave the island for Ithaca. A most appropriate name for a perfume I liked immediately; essentially it’s a chypre rendered in a more lively and bright way . Instead of bergamot (a classic chypre note ) here there’s mandarin; and oakmoss a quite nocturnal and turbulent note that now is hardly used, gives way to a much more soothing amber note.
