Thankfully, new, veritable chypres are still being created, often alluding to the past but not without modern twists (some of my favorites of the last decade would be Vero Profumo Mito, DSH Le Jade and Parfum De Luxe, Parfums Dusita Le Sillage Blanc, and Cartier La Panthère); several of these fragrances manage to elicit joy similar to that of wearing vintage masterpieces of the genre like Guerlain Mitsouko, Ungaro Diva, Chanel Cristalle, Dior Diorella, Grès Cabochard, Robert Piguet Bandit, or Carven Ma Griffe. As far as oakmoss-free neo-chypres are concerned, I tend to prefer those that achieve alternative, intriguing, sometimes even innovative chypre effects, like last year’s Masque Milano Kintsugi. An earlier, beautiful example of a neo-chypre is Céline Ellena’s Sublime Balkiss, created twelve years ago for The Different Company. Thanks to the generosity of The Different Company, we have a draw for a 10ml travel spray of The Different Company Sublime Balkiss for one registered reader in USA or Europe. The random winner is Sousab . Please email michelyn@cafleurebon.com  with Sublime Balkiss travel spray as your subject, your full name and mailing details as well as your phone number by May 29, 2020 9 PM DST. THIS IS A DEADLINE AND NO EXCEPTIONS IF YOU ARE LATE. Please use the email from your comment so we know it is you.  A warm thank you to The Different Company in your email to us would be greatly appreciated as we do forward what you write exactly to our generous perfumers, retailers and creative directors.
