Fleur de Peau Eau de Parfum

Fleur de Peau Eau de Parfum was released by Diptyque in 2018. Olivier Pescheux is the perfumer, and the house presents it in Eau de Parfum concentration. The bottle comes in three sizes: 75 ml, 100 ml and 200 ml.

Top notes

Iris opens on a powdery, buttery facet, crossed with a hint of violet. Bergamot brings a fruit of sweet freshness, tangerine a softened citrus liveliness. Pepper adds a dry, almost herbaceous sharpness, while pink pepper tempers its spiciness with a touch of sweetness.

Heart notes

Aldehydes evoke orange peel, candle wax and linen under a hot iron. Ambrette leans toward amber, powder and musk; carrot, powdery and ambery, recalls iris. Angelica brings herbaceous greenness and wood, rose a warmth of honey and wax.

Base notes

Musk gives a woody warmth with an animalic tinge, which ambergris accompanies with wood, camphor and an animalic note. Leather brings smoke, tar and tobacco. Wood, soft and creamy, and sandalwood, velvety and warm, close the accord.

Musky family

Musks designate materials with the scent of clean or warm skin, once of animal origin, now largely synthetic. In Fleur de Peau Eau de Parfum, the musky family rests on the musk in the base and on the ambrette in the heart, a plant seed known for its musky scent, with the animalic note of ambergris echoing it.

What the label declares

The INCI list declares ALCOHOL DENAT., ethanol rendered unfit for consumption by the addition of a denaturant. This alcohol serves as a solvent for the odorant materials and evaporates quickly once sprayed; it does not correspond to any note in the composition and gives no indication of their dosage.
