Discover Orphéon by Diptyque, a Unisex Eau de Parfum that recreates the atmosphere of 1960s Paris through an elegant powdery-woody composition of vibrant juniper berry, jasmine, cedarwood and tonka bean.
The fragrance opens with juniper berry, creating a fresh, aromatic and subtly spicy character. Its heart reveals jasmine, bringing soft white-floral richness before the composition settles into powdery notes, cedar and tonka bean, creating a warm, smooth and polished woody trail.
Orphéon takes its name and inspiration from the legendary Parisian bar and nightclub that once stood beside Diptyque's original boutique at 34 Boulevard Saint-Germain. The Maison's founders would gather there amid curls of tobacco smoke, powdery traces of make-up and polished wood. The former club later became part of the Diptyque boutique itself, preserving its memory within the Maison's history.
Created by Olivier Pescheux, Orphéon Eau de Parfum was launched in 2021. Specialist fragrance sources classify it as a Unisex Woody Chypre fragrance with powdery, woody, aromatic and fresh-spicy facets.
Top Note
The fragrance opens with juniper berry.
Juniper berry brings a lively aromatic freshness with green and spicy nuances, creating a dry, clean opening that introduces Orphéon's distinctive woody and powdery character.
Heart Note
The heart reveals jasmine.
Jasmine adds luminous white-floral richness and softens the dry aromatic character of the juniper and woods without turning the fragrance into a traditionally floral composition.
Base Notes
The composition settles on powdery notes, cedar and tonka bean.
Cedar provides a dry, polished woody structure, while tonka bean introduces gentle warmth and restrained sweetness. Powdery nuances wrap the dry-down in a velvety texture reminiscent of vintage make-up powder and the atmosphere of an old Parisian bar.
