Parfums MDCI Chypre Palatin is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2012, created by Bertrand Duchaufour. Chypre Palatin opens with Hyacinth, Clementine, Lavender, and Labdanum, settles into a heart of Rose, Jasmine, Iris, and Gardenia, and dries down to a base of Immortelle, Leather, Oakmoss, and Vanilla. Parfums MDCI's Chypre Palatin carries an Acquired verdict, a amber-led wear.

A modern chypre that's absolutely stunning, melding classic grandeur with contemporary flair. It's a divisive scent, with some finding it a masterpiece of sweet, ambery elegance, while others are put off by its intensity or perceived datedness. Definitely not a safe blind buy.

About

Chypre Palatin opens with a sparkling burst of aldehydic brightness and green galbanum, swiftly joined by a juicy clementine and the aromatic whisper of lavender. As it settles, a rich, fruity heart emerges, dominated by plum and an intoxicating blend of rose and jasmine. The base weaves a sumptuous tapestry of warm amber, animalic castoreum, soft leather, and earthy oakmoss, sweetened by vanilla and tolu balsam for a long-lasting, opulent finish.
