Eau des Sens Eau de Toilette

I purchased after reading reviews that this carried citrus notes. I didn't get any of that at all. Honestly, the best way I can describe this fragrance is like the first whiff of a head shop - a patchouli punch to the olfactory receptors. I hoped that it would mellow out with wear, or the citrus notes would come through, but ten hours in and still smells like a poorly lit store in a strip mall. Perhaps it's my particular chemistry, but I don't pick up anything remotely passing as orange, lime or anything that could be found in the produce section. Not for me.

A nice spicy, powdery, orange scent! Love this but it fades so fast.... after 2 hours it’s just a faint smell on my wrists and after 6 I can barely pick it up. Not worth it for me... I have so many of the other Diptyque perfumes and they perform so much better than this one sadly. If someone gave me a bottle I’d be happy but I wouldn’t buy this myself.

I love the scent of orange blossom on me. I bought Dyptique’s version even though I still have Penhaligon’s. Both are eau de toilette and both give a lovely scent. Penhaligon’s is more heady (meaning I can use it only in Spring-Winter seasons. I have yet to check Dyptique’s in the Summer months. I apply my perfumes (cologne, eau de toilette) at night before I sleep. Eau de toilette unlike eau de parfum does not usually last very long on my skin or hair, but surprisingly for Dyptique, I can still smell the scent on me even in late afternoon. I love it. I love it a lot!

I splurged on this light, but complex orange blossom scent to use in the summer and I am enjoying it a lot. I like that it's not sweet but still somewhat floral with a bracing bitterness that refreshes on a hot, humid day. It's a strong scent initially but it doesn't last very long so perfect for sultry days and nights. Yes, a bit expensive, but not as much as other boutique fragrances that are so popular these days.
