Opopanax (H)

Parfumour’s Interpretation of Diptyque Opopanax

Opopanax is a warm balsamic resin scent, and our version keeps that feel: a soft resinous opening, a spiced heart, and a warm ambery base.

The Story Behind the Scent

Opopanax, sometimes called sweet myrrh, is one of the oldest aromatic resins in perfumery, prized for its warm, balsamic glow. Diptyque captured it in a much loved scent whose soft, resinous warmth has the comfort of incense and old apothecaries.

Our interpretation reimagines that cosy resin as a wearable fragrance, keeping the soft opopanax and myrrh at the centre, and building it at a high concentration for staying power.

How Our Version Compares to the Original

The original is a niche release sold at high niche pricing. We build ours at a high perfume oil concentration and sell direct, so you get the same character for a fraction of the price.

Who It’s For

It suits anyone who loves a warm, cosy, resinous scent and wants a niche style fragrance without the niche price.

Common Questions

How close is it to Diptyque Opopanax?

It stays close to the warm, balsamic resinous character of the original. It is our own interpretation rather than a copy, but the impression is very familiar.

How can it cost so much less than Diptyque Opopanax?

Most of the price of a niche fragrance goes to the brand name, packaging and retail markup rather than the liquid itself. We put our budget into the scent and sell direct, so you get a comparable experience for a fraction of the price.

Is this the same perfume as Diptyque Opopanax?

No. We do not use the same formula or ingredients. It is an independent interpretation made to evoke the same style at a much lower price.

How long does it last?

You can expect several hours on skin. Spraying onto clothing as well as skin helps it last even longer.

Who is it best for?

It is unisex and is made for evenings and cooler weather.

How should I apply it?

Spray on pulse points such as the wrists, neck and inner elbows. A light spritz on clothing makes it last through the day.
