Eau des Sens Eau de Toilette

Eau des Sens Eau de Toilette by the French house Diptyque, released in 2016 and composed by Olivier Pescheux, is a green, bitter citrus built around orange blossom. Green, woody, floral and citrus impressions are all shared by everyone who describes it.

Bitter orange and orange blossom open it together, the fruit sharp and peel-like, the flower clean, honeyed and slightly green rather than sweet. Juniper berries sit in the heart, adding a dry, gin-like, resinous freshness that keeps the scent crisp. The base pairs patchouli with angelica, the patchouli earthy and dry, the angelica green, herbal and faintly musky, so the drydown stays leafy rather than turning warm.

Eau des Sens is worn by anyone. Most wearers find its longevity moderate and its projection moderate, so it stays fairly close. It is voted overwhelmingly for daytime and mainly for summer and spring, which makes it a natural warm-weather scent for the office or a bright afternoon outdoors.
