Olivier Pescheux’s ode to Diptyque is divisive, a complex spiced cocktail that evokes old-world charm for some and a dusty potpourri for others. It commands attention and isn't for the faint of heart, an acquired taste for the discerning nose.

This one's a bit of a Jekyll and Hyde. Some get a green, woody depth that evolves into something intriguing, while others are stuck with an initial blast of 'spit and sweat' or bubblegum that never quite leaves. Patience is definitely a virtue here, as it can transform and become quite likable after maceration.
