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.
The story of the house of Diesel began in 1978, thanks to Renzo Rosso and Adriano Goldschmied. It was at the heart of Italy that these two highly creative personalities decided to establish a visionary house, intended for men and women alike, and advocating freedom of expression. Renowned for its worn jeans, Diesel now also stands out in other fields, starting with perfumery. However, its philosophy remains the same. Once again, in 2022, Diesel decided to address everyone and design a new fragrance, a symbol of emancipation and sharing: D by Diesel. Here is our review.

D by Diesel, a fragrance fully rooted in current trends
Sexuality and the blending of genders are subjects at the heart of current affairs. The boundary between the sexes is now fading, making way for more exchange, sharing, and universality. This is precisely what the unisex fragrance D by Diesel stands for. Sensual and sexy, it adapts to every skin and flatters men and women alike. It embodies the desire of free spirits to unite, and in its own way works toward a better world.
The long-lasting yet non-heady scent of D by Diesel
In terms of scent, D by Diesel wins us over with its finely tuned balance. Indeed, it remains very long-lasting on skin and energizes the body for many hours. Yet it never becomes heady, which makes it an excellent summer fragrance. Its incisive, peppery breath of ginger is quickly softened by cotton flower. Lavender, for its part, brings a certain elegance to the whole, while preserving a Mediterranean, aromatic breath. What is more, even though it is a flower, it is very commonly used in men's fragrances. Lastly, for added sensuality, vanilla appears in its base notes. The result is a perfect balance between spice and sweetness.
An unusual bottle offering a perfect grip
The bottle of D by Diesel, for its part, does not go unnoticed. Highly original, it does not follow a conventional shape. Entirely asymmetrical, it relies on distortion and thus echoes Diesel's jeans, which perfectly hug the shape of the body. This gives it the advantage of offering men and women a perfect grip. Very modern, it reveals a gray juice in perfect harmony with its chrome cap, while the Diesel name is engraved directly into its walls.
D by Diesel, a fragrance more respectful of resources and the planet
Lastly, another very positive aspect, and not a minor one: through this fragrance, Diesel makes a point of preserving resources. Its bottle is made from 25% recycled glass. It is also refillable. Its packaging is made of recycled cardboard and is free of any plastic film. Likewise, it is a 100% vegan fragrance, some of whose resources, such as Madagascar vanilla or Provence lavender, come from sustainable sources.
