If there is one thing that I've learnt from working with fragrance for 35years,
is that it's a very personal choice.
Every fragrance smells different on each and every person and unfortunately
it's often a case of "trial and error" before you find your perfect scent.
Here is my personal, yet simple tip as to whether you have found that perfect fragrance.
If you've sprayed a fragrance onto your wrists and you keep being drawn to smell
your wrists constantly throughout the top, middle and base note phases of that
fragrances development, then you've hit the right notes (excuse the pun)
that mix well with your personal body chemistry to create something
wonderful and captivating.
For me this captivation is a good indicator that it's possibly
worth a future purchase.
Diptyque
is a French fragrance brand dating back to 1963 and you will no doubt
have heard of their candles perhaps more so than their extensive fragrance collection.
I have been trying out for the past week, two of their scents and guess what
One did have me lifting my wrist to my nose to sniff more and more...
Eau des Sens
This Unisex fragrance was created in 2016 and is classified as a floral.
It contains orange blossom, angelica root, patchouli and juniper berry
It brings together all the dimensions of bitter orange, from the roots to the
top of the tree, including branches, leaves and fruit.
If some of these floral ingredients resonate with you, then Eau des Sens
could be worth a try...

Ofrésia
Created in 1999 this floral female fragrance spoke to me when I first read
the name, as its ingredients are white freesia, carnation, guaiac wood and black pepper
and I just adore freesias.
Interesting fact:
Freesia is a “mute” flower, which means that no essential oil can
be extracted from it and its scent must be reproduced using other raw materials.
This fragrance hit those notes for me and I was constantly being drawn back to
my wrist throughout the day.
Several things that I can say about both of these Diyptique fragrances,
they're long lasting on the skin and they're both statement fragrances and not
for the fragrance feint hearted.
They also come at a price and are not readily available in South Africa.
They're far removed from the popular mainstream fragrances and are definitely
more niche, so if that's what your looking for, something different and unique
then Diptyque is a range to consider.
