The review

Worth a try. That is where Syprus 1288 lands when you weigh what it costs, what it is made of and how firmly it is matched to Chypre Palatin.

Perfume Parlour 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.

Strength: extrait, among the most concentrated formats a dupe comes in.

At $159 per 100ml it costs 31% less than Chypre Palatin — the 2nd cheapest of 2 twins we can price.
