TWO NEW DIPTYQUE SCENTS FORTHE BOHOAT HEART
To celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Diptyque fragrance line, the brand launche two new scents — Tempo and Fleur de Peau, both modern takes on the first Diptyque scent created in 1968, L’Eau, which was made up of patchouli and musk.
Diptyque revisits the patchouli theme with Tempo, combining three different extractions from the Indonesian island of Sulawesi. Tempo, written by perfumer Olivier Pescheux, combines woody notes, wild cocoa beans, pink peppercorns, bergamot, fresh jasmine, and amber for sex appeal. On the bottle is an image of a shaman communicating with the forest where patchouli was born.
Fleur de Peau works with musk — which is, essentially, the smell of skin. The secret to making this musk fragrance more “Diptyque”? The addition of mandarin orange, bergamot and pink peppercorn. The bottle is inspired by the word “psychedelic,” which is rooted in an ancient Greek myth in which a princess falls madly in love with Aphrodite’s son and wraps herself around him in her dreams.
If you’re looking for a scent that reminds you of meditation, tea ceremonies and dancing under the full moon (or maybe just dancing to some Janis Joplin, these two are for you. It’s just a matter of choosing: would you like to smell like yourself but sexy (Tempo) or yourself but sweet (Fleur de Peau)?
Tempo and Fleur de Peau 7ml EDP will be available starting March 1 at Diptyque stores in Rustan’s Makati, Rustan’s Shangri-La, Rustan’s Alabang Town Center, Rustan’s Cebu, Adora, Greenbelt 5 and Diptyque Central Square.
