Diptyque 1968 EDT
L'Eau
Diptyque L'Eau is an Eau de Toilette launched in 1968, created by Desmond Knox-Leet. L'Eau opens with Rose and Cinnamon, settles into a heart of Geranium, and dries down to a base of Sandalwood and Clove. Diptyque's L'Eau carries an Acquired verdict, a warm spicy-led wear.
Diptyque's L'Eau is a polarising spicebomb - you'll either adore its vintage charm and potent cinnamon-clove blend, or find it an assault on the senses. It's a challenging scent, definitely not for those seeking a modern gourmand, but a true classic for the bold.
