Esteban Modern Chypre is a unisex take on the chypre tradition, fresh, fruity and floral, and soft and sweet rather than severe.
Skunky's take: A fresh breeze, my nose just got some air.

ResinousWhat does Modern Chypre smell like?
It opens bright and fruity with green mandarin orange, raspberry and bergamot. In the heart, lily of the valley and white rose add a soft, powdery floral touch, and the base settles into a resinous chypre ground where praliné sweetness meets patchouli.
Longevity and sillage are moderate. Voters spread across all four seasons, with spring and fall slightly ahead. Business, leisure and evening use get an equal share of votes. Its unisex character suits any wearer. Emporio Armani Diamonds Rose and Parfums de Marly Darcy have a close profile.
