FragDNA score · on paper
The review
Le Chypre scores 6.8 out of 10 on paper — strong contender territory for anyone chasing Chypre Palatin.
Alexandria Fragrances sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is Chypre Palatin's pyramid, and the closeness votes below are the real test.
At $93 per 100ml it costs 80% less than Chypre Palatin — the cheapest of 2 twins we can price.
Reviewed on paper: from the notes and strength Alexandria Fragrances publishes, the price per 100ml, and how firmly the match is claimed. How it really smells on skin is what the votes below are for.
What it's built to smell like
Parfums MDCI Chypre Palatin is bergamot, lavender and aldehydes at first, jasmine, iris and immortelle at its heart and labdanum, oakmoss and leather at the end. Alexandria Fragrances set out to put that same arc in a cheaper bottle.
