Which Should You Buy?
Diptyque's Volutes is a warm, enveloping tobacco and iris scent, a consensual crowd-pleaser that manages to be both classic and utterly modern. Some find the longevity a bit shy, but the quality and blend are undeniable.
This one's a smooth operator, a polite amber-iris that's nice enough, but ultimately leaves more seasoned sniffers wanting a bit more punch. It's a crowd-pleaser for those new to amber, but might feel a tad superficial for a true connoisseur.
