Diptyque Eau des Sens
Bitter orange, branch to fruit
Eau des Sens gathers the whole bitter orange tree, the bigarade, into one scent: branches, leaves and fruit. The brand describes a composition that stirs the senses, caresses the skin and makes the mouth water like an indulgent treat, with an awakening freshness. Orange blossom, angelica root, patchouli and juniper berry carry the idea. It dates from 2016.

How it unfolds
-
One tree, not one fruit
The brand's starting point is the bitter orange tree in full: branches, leaves and fruit gathered into one scent. Orange blossom is the most direct link to that tree in the note list, and the other three notes sit beside it to keep the bitter-sweet character in view.
-
Angelica, juniper, patchouli
Angelica root is earthy with a green, herbal edge. Juniper berry is crisp and a little resinous. Patchouli adds a dark, damp-earth depth. Set beside the orange blossom, the three give the scent a dry, aromatic side, so it reads as more than a simple floral.
-
Awake and indulgent
The brand wants the scent to caress the skin and make the mouth water like an indulgent treat. That is the contrast to expect: an awakening, slightly bitter freshness on one hand, a soft and warm skin feel on the other, held together in a compact list of four notes.
Wearing it
When, who and why
Wearing it
Eau des Sens is an Eau de Toilette, so it works as an easy scent for spring and summer days, at the office or at weekends. Apply it to the neck and wrists after a shower, when the fresh, aromatic side is easiest to notice, and let the patchouli add a little warmth.
Who it is for
For people who like orange blossom but want it dry and aromatic rather than sweet, and for those who enjoy a little bitterness in a floral. It is catalogued as unisex. The character is tidy and fresh enough for daytime, with just enough patchouli to keep it from feeling thin.
Why choose Diptyque Eau des Sens
The idea is concrete: every part of one tree. The back of the label carries an illustration drawn from Op Art, the 1960s movement that is as old as the house itself, and the perfume is credited to Olivier Pescheux. It is a small detail, but it shows how Diptyque ties scent, label and design together.

Questions
Frequently asked
What is Eau des Sens built around?
The bitter orange tree, or bigarade, in all its parts: branches, leaves and fruit. The four notes are orange blossom, angelica root, patchouli and juniper berry.
What concentration and size is it?
An Eau de Toilette in a 100 ml bottle: a lighter, more open concentration that suits the awakening freshness the brand describes.
Is it sweet?
Not in a sugary way. The brand speaks of something mouth-watering and indulgent, but the notes are floral and aromatic, and juniper and angelica keep it dry and fresh.

The store’s selection is really good and comprehensive. Placing an order was very easy, and shipping was really fast. The fragrances were well packed and they were all excellent. I’m very satisfied. 👍💯👍
Very good quality profume, it last long and it has a good price for its incredible aroma and mixes of fruit and wood smell
A cozy, slightly sensual vanilla that feels like warm night air by the sea. Easy to love if you enjoy gourmand perfumes with a soft smoky edge.
This perfume is really well blended, I just removed a star because I personnaly don't like the top note (citronella)
Placing the order was very easy. Shipping was very fast. I am completely satisfied.
Good cologne, love the citrus and ginger scent making it a playful combo while the tea base makes it a bit more mature. Great for the gym
FragranceGems is again really quick with their releases. I hope this one smells better than Too Damn Good. Already rating a 5 star because of previous experiences!!
Already pre-order. As always, FragranceGems is the first with good releases. Looking forward to my bottle!
The cap of the bottle came with a small part of it broken off and the glass pieces were in the box
