Milies Scented Oval

What it is: A limited-edition scented oval that celebrates diptyque's 60th anniversary and is part of a collection inspired by the Grand Tour.

Fragrance story: The third stopover on the journey is Milies, in Greece. diptyque's founders used to rent a house there in the summer. The village nestled at the foot of Mount Pelion, and to reach it one had to follow the mountain paths. The scented oval retraces in scents the roads that reached from the coast up to Pelion. The spicy scent of immortelle mingles with the cool Mediterranean wind before warming up next to sun-drenched fig trees. In this composition, the warm-cool mélange of spicy and woody aromatic notes evokes the contrasts and richness of this journey to the heart of Greece. The pearls on the scented oval are inspired by a necklace designed by Christiane Gautrot, while the accompanying pompom borrows elements of Greek craftsmanship.

Style: Woody, aromatic.

Notes: Immortelle absolute, ambroxan, fig wood accord.
