Which Should You Buy?
Diptyque's L'Eau is a polarising spicebomb - you'll either adore its vintage charm and potent cinnamon-clove blend, or find it an assault on the senses. It's a challenging scent, definitely not for those seeking a modern gourmand, but a true classic for the bold.
This one's a divisive throwback. If you're into a classic, rosy, slightly powdery scent, it might just be your jam. Others will find it a bit too 'vintage' for comfort.
