Eau des Sens

Diptyque names four materials: orange blossom, angelica root, patchouli and juniper berry. Auparfum and ÇaFleurBon add bitter orange, the fruit of the bitter orange tree, which the house evokes in the very principle of the fragrance.

The house does not divide the fragrance into tiers. Perfumeries place orange blossom and bitter orange at the top, juniper berry at the heart, angelica and patchouli at the base, the order retained here.

Tammy Schuster perceives from the opening the green bitterness of petitgrain, drawn from the leaves of the bitter orange tree, with the bite of juniper; Ainslie Walker speaks of overdoses of orange blossom absolute, petitgrain and bitter orange. Petitgrain stays in prose, absent from the house’s declaration.

Besides alcohol and fragrance, the house’s ingredient list declares linalool, limonene, geraniol, citronellol, eugenol, citral and farnesol, regulated allergens, as well as three ultraviolet filters and an antioxidant, BHT.
