Eau Capitale Eau de Parfum

Eau Capitale Eau de Parfum by the French house Diptyque, released in 2019 and composed by Olivier Pescheux, is a spicy, woody rose with a citrus top. Spicy, woody, floral and citrus impressions are all shared by everyone who describes it, which points to a tightly balanced composition.

Bergamot and pink pepper open it with a bright, slightly peppery sparkle, the pink pepper adding a rosy warmth that leads naturally into the heart. Rose is the centre, fresh and clear rather than jammy, with a slightly green, dewy character. Patchouli forms the base, earthy, dry and faintly chocolatey, giving the rose a woody shadow and a long tail.

Eau Capitale is worn by anyone. Most wearers find it long lasting or moderate in longevity, with a moderate projection that about a third describe as strong. It is voted mainly for autumn and winter, and splits evenly between day and night, so it suits a cool-weather rose for both work and evenings out.
