The Story
Calypso is a green floral chypre that captures the spirit of a tropical island escape. Created by Guy Robert in 1970, it opens with a burst of citrus and green notes, then blooms into a lush floral heart of jasmine and ylang-ylang. The base is a classic chypre structure of oakmoss, patchouli, and warm amber. It's a sophisticated, slightly retro fragrance that feels both elegant and free-spirited.
