Diesel D by Diesel is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2022, created by Louise Turner, Shyamala Maisondieu, and Nisrine Bouazzaoui Grillié. D by Diesel opens with Bergamot and Ginger, settles into a heart of Cotton Flower and Lavender, and dries down to a base of Vanilla and Amberwood. Diesel's D by Diesel carries a Favourite verdict, a musk-led wear.

D by Diesel is a surprisingly divisive yet ultimately likeable juice. It's a fresh, clean vanilla-lavender combo that's been accused of being generic, but its comforting and versatile nature has won over many. Expect a sweet, modern take on a classic aromatic DNA.

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

Declarable under EU Annex III

  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot
  • Lavender Lavandula Hybrida Oil from Lavender
  • Vanillin from Vanilla

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

A vibrant zing of ginger and bergamot kick things off, quickly settling into a clean, textile-like heart of soft cotton flower and aromatic lavender. The dry down is a comforting embrace of sweet vanilla and warm amberwood, creating a gentle, approachable skin scent that feels both familiar and contemporary.
