Eau Des Sens

Eau Des Sens, inspired by Diptyque Eau des Sens (2016)

Eau des Sens takes the bitter orange tree as a whole, so the scent moves between blossom, leaf, branch and fruit instead of focusing on zest alone. Orange blossom forms its floral centre. Juniper berry adds a resinous, gin-like crispness, while angelica root, an earthy and slightly peppery root note, gives it depth. Patchouli underneath pulls everything into a quiet woody base.

About the original

Diptyque launched Eau des Sens in 2016 as an eau de toilette, and it is usually credited to Olivier Pescheux. The brand presents it as bringing together every part of the bigarade, the bitter orange tree, from its flowers to its wood. It is one of several orange-themed Diptyques; L'Eau des Hespérides is a separate citrus scent built on lemon and peppermint.

Our version

Ours is an independent eau de parfum made to evoke the same character. It is not Diptyque stock, not an official relaunch and not the original formula.

Who it suits

Its appeal lies with people who wear citrus but tire of how thin plain colognes can feel. Diptyque markets it as unisex, and the juniper and patchouli stop it from reading as a pretty floral. Buyers looking for a sugary or fruity orange will find it too herbal.

Notes of the original fragrance, as published by the brand.

Notes: Orange Blossom, Angelica Root, Patchouli, Juniper Berry

Orange blossom and juniper berry arrive together, the flower slightly bitter and the berry crisp and resinous.

Angelica root comes through in the heart, giving an earthy, almost musky undertone that grounds the citrus.

Patchouli carries the base, leaving a woody trace with the orange tree still faintly present.

How is Eau des Sens different from L'Eau des Hespérides?

Both are Diptyque citrus scents built around bitter orange. Eau des Sens leans on orange blossom, juniper and patchouli, whereas L'Eau des Hespérides brings in lemon, peppermint and immortelle. We make both.

Is Eau des Sens sweet?

No. The orange here is bitter orange, and angelica and patchouli give it an herbal, woody finish rather than a sugary one.
