Oh my goodness - what does one understand nowadays under CHYPRE???
Okay, I am quite old and don't know much about fashion.
Forty years ago, only a very small group of bitter, herbal scents was referred to as Chypre. In the meantime, the circle keeps getting wider - well, times change.
But what on earth does this sweet brew have to do with Chypre? Maybe someone here can explain that to me, I would really appreciate it. I love to learn.
Aside from the misleading name, I don’t have much to say about the scent.
On my skin, there is neither bergamot nor anything green. A few flowers are suffocated by a thick layer of raspberry jam.
‘Modern’ ladies who want to smell like a raspberry praline - go ahead.
Unisex? Let’s put it this way: If I encounter a man smelling like this, I flee…

Not My Cup of Tea
Well, I wouldn't have recognized this as a Chypre, but I also don't hide the fact that I find this categorization a bit challenging. As much as I appreciate the classic Chypre, this one is not really my cup of tea.

The opening already reminds me of all the nice fragrances in the designer segment. A hint of fruit with a splash of sweetener. Nice, I would call it.

The heart note is floral, romantic, and relatively soft. The sweetness is kept in check, but unfortunately, the parallel to many other perfumes from the designer range remains.

The base impresses with nothing! What started off nicely ends just as bland! Just nice.

I must give this fragrance credit; it is well made. It can't help that this type of perfume doesn't appeal to me.

While I can see the classic Chypre on a man, I can really only imagine this one on a very young woman.

If you like floral and sweet scents, go for it; for everyone else, run!

Abduction into the Seraglio
Today I discovered Modern Chypre, and I was a bit hesitant, as I often find myself at odds with classic Chypres, because they usually bother me with a scratchy soapiness.

So I tried it with respect and sighed thoughtfully.

The scent welcomes me so softly and appetizingly - with a cozy oriental touch.

I feel abducted into Mozart's Seraglio - and I want to settle down on precious brocade cushions to the aria: " Welche Lust - welche Wonne."
But first, I wander in the lush fig grove, and then seek leisure in the magnificent chambers of the Pasha.
White roses are presented to me, intertwined with lovely lily of the valley.
On silver plates, the finest pastries are offered, and the whiff of patchouli reminds me of the Orient.

In this noble ambiance, Konstanze would not have thought of escape, but would have enjoyed the luxury to the fullest.

For me, it is certainly a delightful excursion into One Thousand and One Nights.

Gourmand with Edges and Corners
Modern Chypre starts off fruity with sweet raspberry, cotton candy, and very lightly alcoholic notes - perhaps the fig-like scented Davana is responsible for that. The bergamot itself is only part of this presentation but is not detectable on its own.

Quickly, the green mandarin comes to the fore along with a wonderful creamy toffee note. From now on, the gourmand note remains. The patchouli keeps it in check and gives the fragrance a certain dry powderiness and woodiness. Creaminess and powderiness combined with the gourmand notes create an interesting yet very sweet unity.

Through all the sweetness, flowers shimmer through - I perceive the green lily more than a white rose.

The fragrance is rather linear - it remains relatively constant from beginning to end.
For me, it also has a slightly oriental touch. The longevity is average.

I find it interesting - but I'm not yet sure if I really want it. Since the sillage is not very high, it can be worn occasionally - as a snack substitute.
In contrast to many other gourmand notes, I perceive it as a treat because it is lighter and, to my nose, composed of a certain proportion of natural ingredients.

p.S: A certain woody spicy dryness is present in some Esteban fragrances I have tested, e.g., Ambre and Tonka.

So a Chypre - aha!
In search of "My Chypre," I came across this one. It starts off fruity and rather sweet. Oh bergamot, is that you? Has the green mandarin swallowed you up? A bit of bitterness joins in. This only lasts a short time, and then I smell something very spicy, like juniper berries and definitely cumin. Cumin is so distinctive that you can't possibly confuse it. It is very dominant for me. The fruits take a backseat and release the heart quite quickly, which brings in the base and sends the cumin away. So I can already sniff patchouli alongside the lily of the valley. Hey, I love patchouli, but this one is a bit earthy and dark. The rose shines in the background because it has a few flaws. Praline... well... what is praline? It can smell like anything. No, it doesn't smell like chocolate or truffles, nor like Lindt Fine Variety, and not like Marc de Champagne either. Whatever praline is - I'm not hungry for it here. But I would put the cumin in goulash; it was authentic. And lo and behold, after cumin and spices, the scent becomes very sweet, floral, and bright. This is not chypre at all. I think I have a different fragrance on my arm right now. Now it’s quite nice and definitely wearable as an office scent. It takes a good 2 hours to get there, though. Is that even possible?

Artificial raspberry with artificial raspberry on artificial raspberry. Molecular cuisine for sniffly days...

Chypre, praline? Oh please! Sour-bitter amber-fruit scent + patch + dried fruit combo softens + beautiful amber note like Ambre Gris/Balmain.

Multidimensional, spicy raspberry praline scent; smells like the blossom of "La Nuit Trésor"; forget the buzzword Chypre;).
