L' des Hesperides

Which Should You Buy?
This minty-fresh burst of Italian sunshine is a crowd-pleaser, but don't expect it to last all day. It's universally adored for its invigorating opening, though some find it a bit too fleeting for the price. If you want to smell like a delicious, refined mojito, this one's for you.
Diptyque's L' des Hesperides is a fresh, green citrus bomb, divisive for its medicinal, almost mentholated edge. Some call it a masterpiece, others a cleaning product. It's an underestimated gem for those who crave a unique, complex scent away from the crowd.
