No shocker, I stay loose with Chypre
As a confirmed Chypre - lover - and which is "eingefleischt" for an expression, perhaps I should rather use "passionately", I had to test this smell naturally. He comes from the house of Mugler, which has created stylish and iconic perfumes such as Angel and Womanity. With the high-end series "Les Exceptions", the company wanted to reinterpret basic types of perfume, which the perfumers had only succeeded in doing to a limited extent. Olivier Polge did not deliver the Ultrachypre to be expected by name here. Also there is nothing shocking about his Chyprissime like Angel or Womanity at that time.
The fragrance opens classically with citrus fruits, especially bergamot. Soon a slightly fruity chord is added, which is supposed to depict a juicy pear. I also notice some flowers, especially a light Mairose. This is as simple as it is pleasant, reminiscent of many, many perfumes you know, plays skillfully with these memories and makes you curious about the further course.
Because now oakmoss, Labdanum and Patchouli follow - what else with a chypre?
Patchouli is ultimately the note that remains. It's a relatively artificial patchouli that doesn't look as earthy and dark as I would prefer. Taken together one could argue that Chyprissime is a Chypre - Fruitchouli, because the pear note clearly points in this direction and the Patchouli dominates the Drydown.
Chyprissime lasts only an average long time, after five hours it is hardly perceptible on the skin.
Although the structure and ingredients are unspectacular, the fragrance is exceptionally good. It is neither too loud nor too quiet, does not harass anyone (think of Angel) and fits into the working context of a university, school or office (to name just a few) as well as a theatre evening or restaurant visit.
If you like the slightly fruity chypre direction and want to try a ripe pear instead of peach (Mitsouko!) or plum (Femme), you should give Chyprissime a chance.
Is the relatively high price justified? Probably not.
The large 80ml bottle looks clunky and doesn't look particularly noble, but it rests in a heavy, black box. Of course, you'll pay for all that.
I will probably consume Chyprissime quickly because the fragrance is so beautifully flexible.
It doesn't always have to be the "big new litter". At Mugler, I like this fragrance, which is very much based on a given pattern, much better than the big blockbusters.
