Scent Bar Staff Video Review for Orpheon

Video Transcript

Today I'm wearing Orpheon. This is the newest fragrance from Diptyque. In fact, it was made to celebrate the 60th anniversary of this really remarkable brand. Diptyque comes out with some of my all-time favorite fragrances, so I was really excited about this. And I'm delighted to say that all the expectation has paid off. It's amazing. I love this scent so much.

It's powdery, it's soapy, it's really old school. I feel elegant when I wear it. It's the kind of thing where it's not going to project like crazy, but I just like the way it makes me feel. I've heard that it's a little bit similar to Fleur de Peau, also from Diptyque, and I would agree with that. It is that powdery, soapy kind of fragrance, but it's not so iris-focused the way that is.

I feel this goes more into juniper and woods. Maybe it's IsoE Super that I'm detecting. And this will sound like blasphemy, but I get a little bit of dial soap, like the old school bar of that soap. Love it. Check out Orphéon.

Cedar soda with juniper bitters. Water drawn from a limestone well surrounded by briar and bramble, thicket and thorn. Aerated ice chips that shatter between molars. A single cypress cone crushed between fingers. Cigarette ash that never quite made it to the tray. The condensation ring left on wood that won't ever completely fade. Cold metal keys pressed against warm lips. The sharp intake of breath when the cosmic chords of Alice Coltrane's harp arpeggios cascade through space, suspending time. Morning sky like a scrim of quartz a little light, just enough to see by.

I put my fragrances in two complimentary categories: “You smell nice!” and “WOW What is that?!”. This is the the latter. Gorgeous, powdery, woodsy. One of my favorites of all time, and one of the best performing fragrances from Diptyque. Big compliment getter from both sexes. The powdery juniper and cedar lend a clean, aromatic barbershop quality, but the jasmine and tonka bean round it out beautifully. Def unisex but leans feminine.

Gorgeous and very unique! I get tons of compliments when wearing this from both men and women. Oprhéon opens with a powdery, cloud-like (not baby powder) juniper and jasmine and dries down to a powdery, cloud-like jasmine cedar. This fragrance is so unique in that it is clean, powdery and yet very sexy. I find that it moves from day to night and is ideal for all seasons. I own 40+ niche fragrances and this is my second bottle in a little over a year.

I bought this based SOLELY on Steve's recommendation on the IG live (and the fact that I love Diptyque), and let me tell you - it does not disappoint. I LOVE IT. Watch the video if you haven't already, because his description is spot-on. It is powdery but not old lady-powdery, clean-ish but not in a laundry kind of way, elegant as all get out, and just lovely. The drydown does indeed get to a slight smoke accord, as promised, and that does not disappoint either. A new favorite and I will be wearing this year-round.

Was sorely disappointed...It was exceptionally soapy smelling. I thought perhaps if I let it sit the juniper would settle but it only got more soapy. There is a nice spice element that pokes though occasionally, but won’t even be finishing the sample

I was in Miami at sacks and was looking for a fb. I actually was trying to get tobacco manderin from byredo because it was very different and I don't have a tobacco forward scent, but no luck out of stock. Then was morning chess by villhelm(spell) no luck or if stock. This was my third choice because I do have some along these lines. Given the notes it is a little misleading as you may think your getting a heavy scent. This is a dumb reach and good for any occasion. Longevity could be better, I have bad skin, but I got 3 hours out of it
