Perfume Collection #1: DIPTYQUE (Part One)

Ramble is what I do, especially when I am talking about fragrances. I somehow can't seem to stop going on and on about how much I love them. In all honesty, I've tried filming and writing a blogpost about my perfume collection over ten times in the past year! It's failed every time. But, with celebration that I have finished an extremely rigorous first year of my course, I decided to sit down and get business done.

I am basically going to divide this collection video into about three parts. The first part, this one, is going to just be on Diptyque fragrances, of course mentioning only the ones I actually have! I've incorporated some of my sisters' fragrances as well because even though they aren't mine, I thought it'd be a good idea to tell you guys about as many as I can. However, on that note, I must say I didn't do the greatest job in describing each scent. I am no perfumist but I will say that I tried to tell you why I love them so much.

Diptyque is a French fragrance brand that I've gotten to know of about two years ago. The first fragrance I had from them, and is my favorite, is Eau Duelle. Ever since that first experience with Diptyque, I have fallen completely in love with their entire range. Although not every scent is of "my kind", I nonetheless appreciate every single one of them. They are unique and so complex in their compositions that you cannot help but feel like a queen when you spritz on a few of these!

My all time favorite, my signature scent is Diptyque's Eau Duelle. This babe has been around and about in my blog posts and videos since the beginning of time. It is an absolute marvel. There's not a single time I pop open the bottle and with the first waft of scent I think I could have made a better choice. It is perfect. It is sweet because of the vanilla note, but with the peppery spice on top, they develop into this amazing sophisticated feminine scent. It is truly sexy, warming, comforting, yet still fresh and light. I was no fan of vanilla, but this one is nothing like I've experienced before!

My all time favorite spring/summer scent is Oyedo. This has been in at least one of my previous posts here. It is an absolute Spring dream in that the citrus and fruity scent is so damn appealing!

Ofresia has an instant picture in my head. The first sniff and I immediately imagined a young girl running through the hills, gathering wild flowers to make a crown of flowers on her head. She runs through the forest and down the hills, coming home to her sweet wooden cabin with a bouquet of fresh flowers in her arms. She smells of fields, of flowers, and of the wind. Her eyes are smiling, her cheeks are flushed, and her breath is the smell of freesias! That. This is what Ofresia means to me. It is a poetry in one scent!

L'ombre dans l'eau and Do Son are two of Diptyque's most popular scents. Both are heavily floral, L'ombre dans l'eau being more light and airy. It is a mixture of roses and blackcurrent leaves, berries! It is so refreshing and yet quite a statement. It is strong and definitely unique and memorable. Do Son is inspired by the harbor in Vietnam. The orange blossoms definitely give rise to the Asian sea wind. It is also floral with notes of tuberose that gives it this really creamy texture!

Finally, there is Olene and 34 boulevard st germain. Olene is a floral scent with definitive notes of Jasmine. It is a calming scent, with floral notes that remind you of tea! 34 Boulevard St Germain is named after the first Diptyque store in France. It is a woody scent, deep, seductive, mysterious, and heavy.

The large bottle of 100ml is $120. The smaller bottle is $88.
