D by Diesel, a fresh and original fragrance. Diesel is a house that was founded in 1978, in Italy, and has always had a deeply visionary spirit. Indeed, if Diesel is named as such, it is simply because it is a word that is easily pronounced in every language.
Fuel for Life, Only The Brave… Diesel is now recognized as a prominent figure in world perfumery. What a pleasant surprise, then, to discover the release of a new fragrance collection from the house in 2022. This time, Diesel decided to address men and women alike. Its fragrance comes in an entirely asymmetrical, gray bottle, with a distorted yet no less appealing silhouette. D by Diesel is a fragrance that is both long-lasting and gentle at once. So what does its formula hold? A breakdown of its scent and composition.
The olfactory pyramid of D by Diesel
D by Diesel opens with a very incisive breath. It thus captures attention from its top notes onward. That said, unlike most fragrances, it does not rely on citrus. It turns instead to one of the raw materials reputed to be among the sexiest and most aphrodisiac on the planet: ginger. Here, this ingredient unfolds a soapy, slightly peppery breath. Ginger is quickly softened by cotton flower. Besides its tenderness, this raw material has the gift of leaving behind a sensation of cleanliness. D by Diesel thus becomes an airier fragrance. It is also enriched, in the background, with a floral and slightly retro touch of lavender. Typically Mediterranean and aromatic, this element is finally wrapped in a smooth, smoky, and carnal vanilla.
D by Diesel, an androgynous fragrance
Another distinctive feature of D by Diesel: it addresses men and women alike. This is why its composition contains only ingredients perfectly suited to both sexes. Ginger appeals to men through its peppery, lively character. Its sexier, airier facet also delights women. Lavender is a flower. Yet it is also one of the raw materials most commonly used in men's fragrances. Men appreciate it more specifically for its retro character, evoking barbershop soaps of days gone by. Lastly, vanilla comes across as carnal while carrying a leathery, animalic, and at times even virile breath.
A long-lasting yet non-heady composition
D by Diesel is a fragrance that does not go unnoticed, and this is felt from its top notes onward. Yet, although it leaves an indelible mark on skin for many hours, it is never heady. Its cotton flower helps it preserve a certain lightness. It is thus also a fragrance perfectly suited to hot summer days.
The more sustainable raw materials chosen for D by Diesel
Lastly, to fully meet the expectations of today's consumers, D by Diesel incorporates more sustainable raw materials into its formula. Its Bourbon vanilla is notably grown in Madagascar. Its lavender comes from Provence. Both come from responsible farming. In other words, through this unisex fragrance, Diesel invites you, too, to leave a positive impact on the world.
