6 years of marriage: Cyprus wedding
6 years may not be as memorable as your 5 years or your (future) 10 years of marriage, but it should be celebrated! No need to throw a big celebration, a simple night out with your loved ones should do the trick. But if you want to break the routine and spice up your married life, your 6th wedding anniversary is the perfect opportunity.
Tradition has it that we offer a gift of wedding matter. With chypre, which is not really a material, you can vary the pleasures and choose from several gifts around this theme.
But first of all, what is cyprus? Besides the Mediterranean country, it is a basic fragrance component extracted from a lichen growing in the form of moss on oak trees. The mixture resulting from this lichen is called "Cyprus powder". Several brands offer chypre-based fragrances such as Guerlain or Dior.
What gift to offer for her 6 years of marriage?
- A perfume based on chypre
The most obvious choice for your wedding anniversary gift seems to be a chypre fragrance, very popular in the 20th century, which has become slightly outdated today.
And yet, with its woody notes, based on bergamot, patchouli, oakmoss, cistus-labdanum, elements of flowers (jasmine or rose), this type of perfume has something to thrill your partner.

With its woody and fruity notes at the same time, this eau de parfum is terribly refined with a touch of exoticism.
- A massage with the scents of chypre
Even more sensual, a massage with perfumes and scents of chypre. It can do its little effect to combine relaxation and the theme of your wedding anniversary. You can opt for the beauty salon treatment solution or do it at home using products with chypre scents.
How to celebrate your 6 years of marriage?
- A trip to the island of Cyprus
For your Cyprus wedding, you could take it literally by organizing a long weekend on the island of Cyprus, specifically in the coastal town of Paphos in the southern part of the territory.
This paradisiacal city contains archaeological sites linked to the cult of Aphrodite, the goddess of love: ruins of palaces, tombs and villas decorated with mosaics. The perfect backdrop for a romantic excursion to celebrate your wedding anniversary.
- A candlelit dinner with Cypriot specialties
For the smallest purses, you can still travel with your senses! What could be better than a candlelit dinner with Cypriot specialties? Mediterranean in type, Cypriot cuisine is relatively close to Greek cuisine and Turkish cuisine. Full of flavors, you can escape for dinner.
We find the Moussaka, the koupepia or dolma (stuffed vine leaves), the halloumi (cheese), the daktyla (almond dessert) and mint yogurt. But before starting your meal, have an aperitif: ouzo, an anise alcoholic drink, typical of there. You can punctuate it with a bottle of wine from Limassol, a wine region in Cyprus.
