The world first encountered Chypre Palatin by MDCI Parfums in 2012. By character, a unisex fragrance drawing from the chypre, fruit, and balsamic families. The talent of Bertrand Duchaufour is written all over this bottle. The fragrance concentration is eau de parfum.
Expect a delicate sillage: a quiet, intimate presence. The longevity of this fragrance is moderate — exactly what most occasions call for. Made in France, backed by a long and proud tradition. Chypre Palatin MDCI Parfums unfolds gradually, effortlessly, and with great refinement — a perfect choice for day or evening.
The fragrance has medium longevity and lasts on the skin for about 5-6 hours, gradually revealing its notes and leaving a pleasant impression
A subtle trail—just a hint of fragrance
The perfume has a rich aroma that will help you stand out from the crowd and create a memorable image
A rich and elegant fragrance that gently unfolds on the skin and lasts most of the day, leaving a delicate trail
Perfumes for the fall and winter seasons often contain notes of vanilla, spices, ambergris, wood, and other warm accords, creating a feeling of comfort and warmth during the cold months
The olfactory structure of Chypre Palatin evolves as a layered story, where accents shift with precision and warmth. The creative approach of MDCI Parfums is clear in details that define the fragrance identity. Every decision feels deliberate, and the structure feels complete all the way through. Eau de parfum sets the depth and body this composition needs.
The internal accord map is built around these accords: Animalistic, Balsamic, Aromatic and Citrus without random overlap. Secondary accord layers such as Gourmet, Floral, Fruit and Wood add depth to the backdrop. The stylistic positioning is unisex, which sharpens how the fragrance is perceived. In longevity terms Middle points to a sustained drydown presence.
Right at the start you meet fresh green top notes: Aldehydes, Clementine, Galbanum and Hyacinth.
In the central layer you detect Gardenia, Iris, Jasmine, Plum and Rose carrying a sensual jasmine direction.
At olfactory-group level the profile is anchored in Fairy, Citrus, Green and Floral. It also reaches into Balsamic, Aromatic, Whiteflower and Fruit.
Overall Chypre Palatin reads as a cohesive composition — the opening sets direction, the middle layer carries the identity, and the base secures the trail.
