Diptyque Eau des Sens is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2016, created by Olivier Pescheux. Eau des Sens opens with Bitter Orange and Orange Blossom, settles into a heart of Juniper, and dries down to a base of Angelica and Patchouli. Diptyque's Eau des Sens carries a Favourite verdict, a citrus-led wear.

This one's a proper debate-starter for Diptyque; some find it a gorgeous, naturalistic orange blossom, whilst others are left with a bitter cleaning product. It's clean, fresh, and undeniably unique, but definitely not a safe blind buy.

Also Works:
Office

Its fresh, clean nature makes it ideal for casual and sport settings, providing an invigorating feel. Whilst subtle and elegant, its distinct bitter profile and occasional 'cleaning product' association from reviews lower its suitability for formal events and intimate dates. The strength on some skin makes it less office friendly for some.

About

Imagine the entire orange tree, from bitter pith to fragrant blossom, steeped in cool, green juniper and earthy patchouli. It opens with an almost bracing burst of bitter orange and white florals, softening into a clean, musky, herbal embrace with a hint of angelic spice. It’s an unusual take on citrus, leaning green and natural rather than sweet or juicy.
