Diptyque Lilyphéa is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2024, created by Olivier Pescheux and Nathalie Gracia-Cetto. Lilyphéa opens with Cardamom, settles into a heart of Violet Leaf and Ginger, and dries down to a base of Vanilla. Diptyque's Lilyphéa carries a Favourite verdict, a spicy-led wear.

A divisive, ethereal aquatic that evokes lily ponds and forest fairies, but its fleeting nature and high price tag leave many feeling short-changed. Love it or hate it, Diptyque's latest is a conversation starter.

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.

Its delicate sillage and fresh, non-offensive profile make it suitable for office wear and casual settings, though the poor longevity reported by many means frequent reapplication is likely needed. It's too subtle for a formal affair and not impactful enough for a date, but its aquatic freshness makes it a comfortable choice for light activity.

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.

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

Lilyphéa opens with an immediate aquatic and ozonic freshness, like dewy green leaves on a cool pond. A subtle, warm spiciness from cardamom and ginger soon emerges, preventing it from becoming too sharp. As it dries, a delicate vanilla weaves through, adding a gentle sweetness that balances the initial greenness, settling into a soft, ethereal skin scent. Violet leaf is present throughout, reinforcing the watery, botanical core.
