Scroll below for the ten best Diptyque perfume guaranteed to give you that certain je ne sais quoi.
Diptyque’s Philosykos Eau de Parfum is a true work of art. The fragrance is elegant, fresh and long-lasting on the skin.
Philosykos means “friend of the fig” in Greek. The scent is a combination of fig tree and cedarwood which creates a truly unique and captivating aroma. The fig tree provides a sweet and fruity scent while the cedarwood adds a woody and earthy tone.
The Diptyque Do Son is a beautiful fragrance that is sure to please those who enjoy white-floral scents. It’s a beautifully crafted fragrance that exudes elegance and femininity.
The top notes of tuberose, orange blossom, and violet leaf are light and fresh, while the heart notes of ylang-ylang and rose add a rich and romantic touch. The base notes of tonka bean and benzoin provide a warm and comforting finish.
Its unique blend of floral and spicy notes creates a scent that is both captivating and beautiful. The combination of these scents makes Do Son a truly one-of-a-kind fragrance.
The Orpheon Eau de Parfum is a truly captivating fragrance that is sure to leave a lasting impression. It has woody, warm, spicy and fresh floral powdery attributes, a real mix-up of fragrance families, yet together they work superbly.
The top notes of juniper berries envelop the senses. The scent is both elegant and mysterious, with notes of jasmine, cedar, and tonka bean blending together in perfect harmony.
The Tam Dao is the ultimate creamy wood scent fragrance. Creamy, woody with a little hint of greenness and smoke thrown in there, this is one of the most beautiful sandalwood scents.
The predominant notes in this fragrance are cedar and sandalwood. Initially, there is a strong burst of cedarwood that overpowers the sandalwood, but the sandalwood fragrance does peek through. There is a bit of sweetness to the scent from the amber base note.
The Eau Rose perfume by Diptyque has such a beautiful and fresh, true rose scent. The scent is reminiscent of smelling an actual rose– both the flower and the green leaves.
Plenty of rose fragrances can be overwhelming, however this one is not and has other subtle base notes. Base notes of honey, musk, and cedar provide a balance to the floral rose scent.
Eau Duelle is an ode to the famous spice routes of Venice, and Babylon ports. It is an opulent and comforting vanilla perfume. It is the perfect mix of woody and resinous incense.
The unusual woody/fire component mixed with frankincense fades subtly leaving a really warm, enveloping vanilla perfume. Exotic and sweet but not overly saccharine.
Diptyque Fleur de Peau is a soft and clean powdery musk fragrance.
This is not your grandmother’s powder perfume – this is a modern powdery scent.
The aldehydes, combined with the bergamot and pink pepper, lends a sparkling quality to this fragrance that’s prevalent throughout. The middle florals, iris and rose, are soft and delicate. The base notes of sandalwood, musk, and leather form a sensual base.
This is one of Diptyque’s first floral-fruity perfumes. L’Ombre dans L’eau is a fusion of tangy blackcurrant leaf, dark rose, and white grapefruit.
L’Ombre dans L’Eau’s has a sharp green and leafy petitgrain opening – which smells like a warm Summer day. The leaf note is sharp against the dusky rose. The rose smell is joined by bergamot and mandarin. It is finished with base notes of musk.
The Oyedo fragrance is part of the citrus family. It is truly a sophisticated, but not heavy, citrus scent.
The fragrance smells strongly of a fresh citrus-mandarin flavor. It has a strong tone of fruity-zest which stems from the ingredient yuzu, a hybrid of mandarin orange and the ichang papeda.
It eventually dries down to a soft, sweeter citrus with more of the yuzu and the woodsy thyme base note shining through.
Eau des Sens is an ode to the orange tree, complete with all elements of the plant from the fragrant orange blossoms to the bitter orange fruit.
Eau des Sens opens with the unique orange blossom and the bitter orange. It has middle notes of sweet juniper berries, and base notes of patchouli and angelica. It is light and airy, yet complex.
