Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Cuir Ottoman Eau de Parfum
This one's a divisive shapeshifter. Some find it a buttery-smooth, sophisticated iris-leather masterpiece, while for others, the opening is an unforgivable journey into 'dirty butthole' territory. Definitely not a blind buy, but if it works with your skin, it's pure class.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Volutes Eau de Parfum
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.
