Oyédo
Oyédo by Diptyque is an unisex eau de toilette from 2000 in the niche price tier. It opens with grapefruit, mandarin, sweet orange, lemon and clementine, moves into yuzu and raspberry and dries down to cedarwood and thyme. Expect around 4 hours of wear, and it projects at a moderate level.
Notes, explained
Opening
- Grapefruit Bitter, slightly sweaty citrus. More grown-up than lemon.
- Mandarin Soft, sweet, almost powdery citrus. Gentler than orange.
- Sweet Orange Juicy and cheerful. The friendliest citrus there is.
- Lemon Clean, sour, instantly recognisable. Bright but burns off fast.
- Clementine Small, sweet and a bit candied. Very easy to wear.
Heart
- Yuzu Japanese citrus — like grapefruit and mandarin crossed. Crisp and clean.
- Raspberry Tart, jammy and slightly fuzzy. Very popular in modern sweet scents.
Dry-down
- Cedarwood Dry, pencil-shaving woodiness. Clean and structural.
- Thyme Dry, sharp kitchen herb. Bracing and slightly antiseptic.
