Diptyque Orpheon Eau de Parfum is a delicate, 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 individuals 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 delicate sweetness earlier than jasmine bloomed sweetly within the background. The powder ended up exhibiting up after about 10 minutes of the perfume deciding on 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 delicate 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 by means of the drydown. Being linear is just not 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 properly right here in any other case.
Longevity
This gave the impression to be a close to skin-scent from the preliminary software. At finest, 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 onerous to detect on my pores and skin after eight hours of damage.
Private Ideas
I’m not as well-versed on this scent household, although it’s not the type of perfume that pulls me personally, and if it had barely extra projection and higher longevity on my pores and skin, it could appear good sufficient for one thing tender, evenly floral and “clear” with a powdery musk.
