Where is the chypre?

After reading numerous reviews about this fragrance and waiting many years, I finally got to try it.
Given what I read in almost all the reviews, I had high expectations.
Most of these reviews spoke of a highly complex chypre with strong similarities to Jubilation 25 by Amouage, Mitsouko by Guerlain and Femme by Rochas.
Unfortunately, I have to say that Chypre Palatin bears no resemblance to any of these great fragrances.
Chypre Palatin is an ambery, slightly powdery fragrance that has nothing to do with real chypre.
In the first phase of development, I only smell a note of clementine and galbanum with very light aldehydes.
After a few minutes, the perfume takes on floral aspects that I can't distinguish, then it becomes powdery, woody and very muddled. Overall, it is an amber fragrance, but it has no depth that could be categorized as chypre.
Also, I don't understand how you can associate Chypre Palatin with Jubilation 25, which has a sparkle and sophistication that only a true chypre can have.
I rate Chypre Palatin as a discreet perfume with amber and talcum.
