Patyka chypre today. This made a small splash 5-6 years ago when the brand was relaunched (one of those Lubin/creed/whatever like old houses that were dormant for 80 years before being bought by someone new) and quickly fizzled. I don't know even if the company exists anymore.
Anyway, I got it because it was supposed to be a very classic chypre, and it's just sort of boring. It lacks the unique character of the "great" chypres and the addition of geranium (citronella) at the top gives it a quite pungent bugspray note.
