Chypre Sublime vs Delina

The r/fragrance community demonstrates strong passion for chypre fragrances but reveals widespread confusion about genre classification and definition. While members share detailed knowledge of classic chypres and enthusiastically recommend specific fragrances, there is notable disagreement on what constitutes a true chypre, with community frustration evident toward mainstream platforms like Fragrantica for allegedly misclassifying scents in award categories.

The r/fragrance community has overwhelmingly positive feelings toward Delina despite initial skepticism about hype, with many users experiencing a surprising 180-degree change in opinion upon testing. The fragrance is praised for its beautiful fruity-floral profile and longevity, though some find it gives headaches or too generic, and the high retail price drives many to seek dupes or smaller sizes. Multiple community members report it as a gateway niche fragrance that has become a personal favorite.
