By the editors · 2 min readPetitgrain opens with a woody, slightly bitter citrus note before bergamot provides a brighter lift. Tarragon adds an herbal-anisic edge that distinguishes this from a standard neroli citrus — slightly savory, slightly cool. Neroli and orange blossom develop through the heart together, honeyed and faintly indolic in the way white flowers are when treated as characters rather than backdrop.
White musk and cedar close cleanly, extending the woody citrus impression without sweetening it. A quiet, assured composition from Diptyque's lighter range — transparent and well-constructed, the kind of fragrance that reveals itself slowly.
