Diptyque L’Eau de L’Eau, L’Eau des Hesperides, L’Eau de Neroli ~ new fragrances

Posted by Robin on 12 March 2008 8 Comments

Diptyque L'Eau cologne collection

Coming in May from Diptyque, a trio of unisex colognes that revisit the themes explored by Diptyque's first fragrance, L'Eau, launched in 1968. The new fragrances, developed by perfumer Olivier Pescheux, are as follows:

L’Eau de L’Eau is a "fresh reinterpretation of Diptyque’s first fragrance, L’Eau", and the spicy fragrance includes notes of mandarin, grapefruit, citron, clove, cinnamon, ginger, geranium, lavender, tonka bean and orange blossom.

L’Eau des Hesperides is described as "an invigoratingly aromatic fragrance", and features bitter orange, mandarin, red thyme, rosemary, mint, cedar and white musk.

L’Eau de Neroli is a classic cologne, with notes of neroli, orange blossom, geranium and beeswax.

Diptyque L'Eau de L'Eau, L'Eau des Hesperides & L'Eau de Neroli will be available in 200 ml splash bottles with optional pump spray (€90). (quotes via osmoz, additional information via joyce.fr)

    Doesn't sound too exciting, but could be very nice for the summer nonetheless. Why no 'refreshment coffret' though, Diptyque? :-)

    It is sort of sad since I love Diptyque, but in the midst of what will undoubtedly turn out to be 900+ releases this year, this really doesn't sound exciting to me at all. Agree on the coffret!

    L'Eau de L'Eau's notes sound nice (I'll really try anything with grapefruit), and there is the added bonus of a somewhat silly name.

    They all sound (and undoubtedly are) perfectly nice, but also like… “nothing special.” I'm with eshellmoyer on the grapefruit though.

    However, I'm still trying to get my hands on some Tam Dao — figuring out when to work that into the buying schedule & budget. So terrible to not be able to have everything *right now*.

    All of them sound nice! Just not sure I can get excited over them.

    L'Eau de L'Eau is one of those names that works if you don't speak French, I think ;-)

    I beleive that's the “Nothing Special “Argument is good for every Cologne description. For exemple l'eau fraiche de Caron (the yellow one) is my favorite cologne and there is nothing special about its composition.

    They looks often like each other on the paper.

    I dont know how you test Cologne but I always test with O de Lancome on one hand at a reference.

    Some truth in that, although I do think any line ought to have at least one of their own. Just not sure Diptyque needs quite so many :-)
