Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Under the Lemon Trees

A sparkling, leafy-citrus escape that transports you to a sun-dappled Mediterranean grove. Effortlessly wearable and natural, but longevity and projection are modest.

Our Verdict - L' des Hesperides

Diptyque's L' des Hesperides is a fresh, green citrus bomb, divisive for its medicinal, almost mentholated edge. Some call it a masterpiece, others a cleaning product. It's an underestimated gem for those who crave a unique, complex scent away from the crowd.
