The daily lemming

Posted by Robin on 20 July 2020 12 Comments

Diptyque's new travel perfume format, available in Do Son, Philosykos, Eau Rose and Eau des Sens, comes with 12 ml ($115 / €95) and can be refilled from the larger Diptyque bottles. You can also personalize your bottle with the little plastic squares, as shown above. At Diptyque.

    Nothing says understated style & sophistication like personalising your fragrances with little plastic squares !?

      Indeed. I think Guerlain went there and failed a few years back with the Mon Exclusiv. I love Dyptique and they usually get it right on the style. But not here.

        I think those were stickers? These seem marginally better, although I don’t need my travel spray to have my name on it.

          You’re right. Stickers! ?

          Let’s see. These ones may stand the test of time and prove me wrong.

    Bless them for thinking that they’ve created “a travel bottle, simple and elegant” when it’s neither — it’s overcomplicated and cheap-looking. The Serge Lutens travel spray: now that’s simple and elegant.

      I have a soft spot for the Kilian travel sprays too, not cheap & tacky like these ?

      :-)

      You guys hate them more than I do, although nothing would make me spend that much on an atomizer.

    Lemming this but… so expensive for a plastic tube that holds 12 ml of perfume.

      I was thinking this too! The price is bonkers. I’d love some Eau de Sens, but the 50 ml bottle is cheaper and more attractive.

    Weird to me that this is $112 for 12ml when Tom Ford is now doing 10ml Travel sizes in decent atomisers which are ‘only’ $72 (& this price is for the more expensive private blends like Lost cherry which are $335 for 50ml) – when did Diptyque start charging almost double Tom Ford ?

    Although the packaging did remind me of old flight boards – “split-flap display?” – so that might be what they were going for…

      Yes – they very much evoke old flight boards. They looked “retro” to me somehow, but I couldn’t think of anything. I like them, but too many $$$.
