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 isn't your grandma's rose. Rose Taif is a polarising scent - some find it a gorgeous, comforting woody-rose, others find it too sharp and bitter. Definitely sample first before committing.

Seasons
Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.
