Diptyque Orpheon Eau de Parfum is a refined, close-wearing powdery, musky scent that turns extra vanillic over time, whereas jasmine blooms deep within the background, including a extra generalized sense of floralcy. I want I had extra to say–this was a less complicated scent journey and ideal for many who favor scents that don’t change a lot over time! These are the notes:

• high notes: juniper berries
• coronary heart notes: jasmine
• base notes: powdery notes, cedar, tonka bean

Scent Improvement

It opened with the chew of juniper berries–crisp, cool, and pine-like–with vanilla to again it up, providing a refined sweetness earlier than jasmine bloomed sweetly within the background. The powder ended up displaying up after about 10 minutes of the perfume selecting my pores and skin, which gave it a powdery, musky attribute that appeared to overwhelm the opposite notes. The whole lot that was within the opening grew to become imprecise and subtle, which resulted in them shedding their nuance and coming throughout as a extra generic “clear” scent.

Orpheon was linear on my pores and skin; it had a refined jasmine and woods undercurrent that was dominated by powdery musk that grew to become progressively extra powdery and extra vanilla (the woods shedding out) by the second hour, which lasted via the drydown. Being linear will not be a nasty factor as long as one enjoys it. I additionally seen with this that it wore significantly near the pores and skin and appeared subtler, significantly for an eau de parfum.

Software

For testing, I used 1/3 of a 0.7ml pattern vial dabbed to the underside and topside of my wrist space on my left arm. I used an unscented moisturizer previous to making use of the scent as that is additionally my swatching arm (aka, extremely parched at any given second) as I discovered scent didn’t maintain effectively right here in any other case. 

Longevity

This appeared to be a close to skin-scent from the preliminary utility. At greatest, it hovered two to 3 inches above my pores and skin and with no sillage. It wasn’t weak per se, as I didn’t have bother detecting it on my pores and skin after I put my nostril near my wrist. It was shorter-wearing relative to different eau de parfums I’ve tried, together with some from Diptyque, and it was arduous to detect on my pores and skin after eight hours of wear and tear.

Private Ideas

I’m not as well-versed on this scent household, although it’s not the sort of perfume that pulls me personally, and if it had barely extra projection and higher longevity on my pores and skin, it will appear good sufficient for one thing delicate, frivolously floral and “clear” with a powdery musk.
