(3 stars, good juice) | $150 for 200ml go to. L’Eau des Hespérides will have fans and detractors, but it brilliantly expands both the genre and the Diptyque collection. It stays, proves stableĪnd diffuses perfectly. Pescheux, with startling technical expertise, has created one with excellent persistence on the skin. Most eaux fraîches disappear as rapidly as twilight. Imagine the smell of a dentist’s office (dentists historically used clove, and the smell has stuck), only fetishized.Īnd that’s just the scent. This is a quintessential Diptyque: dark, moody, odd, consciously inaccessible, arcane, striking, insistent on The result is an exercise in transcending the genre.

Eau de Lierre is mesmerizing, Olene is wonderfully strange and L’Ombre dans l’Eau is not merely strange butīracingly rebarbative. Their brilliant Philosykos,Ĭreated in 1996 for Diptyque by Olivia Giacobetti, is often credited with the late 1990s fig craze.
