Chypre-Siam Rogue
2
lovely classic
I've been using it for a few years and I've read all sorts of things about this perfume... the thing I can't digest is what I read from people who, upon closer inspection, have in their collection modern rubbish created by the pizza chef on duty (with all due respect to the pizza chef eh... but let him continue making pizzas, to each his own). It is an extremely well made, balanced, green chypre, with a beautiful floral component in the heart and a very soft and fat base; this alone could be enough. A fortiori, it should be highlighted that it is also composed of materials of absolute quality, real oak moss and real absolutes, as it should be. It has a smell that faithfully reflects the vintages of the 60s and 80s and those like me, as vintage enthusiasts, put their noses up to it... can only appreciate it. In short, it is a creation that today is as anachronistic as it is wonderful and well received (by me, at least). It remains a very green, aromatic and substantial chyore, slightly more masculine perhaps. Excellent performance, exceptional persistence... suitable for non-sweltering days. Difficult to wear? absolutely not, on the contrary... it's an excellent 3 seasons. Confusing? but what! it has a masterful evolution from head to heart, let's not talk nonsense come on... Certain perfumes must be understood and require a certain olfactory culture, they require passion for certain declinations of classic and vintage perfumery, they may not be for everyone, so if you don't whether they like it or not, then simply leave it alone, but avoid shooting clams. For those who know vintages, let's say that Chypre Siam is reminiscent of Dior's Jules in its genre, however compared to the French it is much more androgynous, more unisex, with a base that is not as musky and above all sweeter than Jules, but the vibes are similar.
