L'Ombre dans L'Eau Diptyque 2012 Eau de Parfum

Blackcurrant bud dominates the opening with a sharp, green-catty snap that smells like crushed leaves and tart sap.

L'Ombre dans L'Eau Diptyque 1983 Eau de Toilette

Petitgrain slices through the opening with a bitter-green flash that sharpens the sweeter blackcurrant bud.

Diptyque · 1986

Eau Lente Eau de Toilette

The opening arrives with the brittle warmth of whole cloves and cinnamon bark—dry spices that prickle rather than sweeten.

Diptyque · 1968

L'Eau Eau de Toilette

Diptyque's founding fragrance, created in 1968 by artist Desmond Knox-Leet, was inspired by an old English recipe combining rose, geranium, and cloves.
