Orphéon
Orphéon by Diptyque is an unisex eau de parfum from 2019 in the premium price tier. It opens with juniper berry and cedarwood, moves into jasmine, orris root and tonka bean and dries down to opoponax, benzoin and musk. Expect around 8 hours of wear, and it projects at a moderate level.
Notes, explained
Opening
- Juniper Berry Gin, basically. Piney, dry and bracing.
- Cedarwood Dry, pencil-shaving woodiness. Clean and structural.
Heart
- Jasmine Heady, sweet and slightly animal underneath. Rarely subtle.
- Orris Root Iris root aged for years. Buttery, powdery, unmistakably refined.
- Tonka Bean Almond, hay and vanilla in one. Warm and slightly nutty.
Dry-down
- Opoponax Sweet myrrh. Balsamic, warm and slightly medicinal.
- Benzoin Sweet balsamic resin. Vanilla-adjacent but drier.
- Musk Warm, skin-like and slightly sweet. Makes a fragrance feel like you.
