Typhoon Dolphin is still battering Taipei

Kimonanthe by DiptyqueDiptyqueKimonanthe4.025 ratings

So something mystical and comforting feels appropriate. Kimonanthe is an incredibly unique blend of apricoty osmanthus, Japanese incense and timeworn woods. A couple hours of life admin needs to be done, then it's time to brave the storm for a workout.

    Had never seen this one! Was it hard to get that sample?

      I wouldn't say hard, but I certainly got lucky. There's an online marketplace here in Taiwan called 蝦皮 (shopee) which has a very active perfume community. I spotted a seller with a single sample left. Looking again now, I still see someone offering decants. He seems to have 23ml left.

      Thanks for sharing because it looks incredible + it’s a Diptyque so might be worth checking out sometime

      My thoughts exactly. I'd probably be satisfied if Diptyque was the only house I could use. Even those which are not my style have such an airy beauty about them, and Kimonanthe is no different.

      Might not be that easy! It was discontinued around 2021-2022... I struck gold and found a seller on Shopee with a single sample left.

      Thankfully, I have a buddy here that has over 2000 bottles, and I've seen this one at his place before!

    That sounds amazing. Too bad it's so hard to come by...

    One of, if not my favourite Diptyques. One of my favourite bottles in my collection too. The cracked glass effect on that line is gorgeous.

      I know you love this one, Dodo! It's marvellous. Coming up to 8 hours into the wear and it's still going strong.

    I got my sample yesterday!!! I saw Diptyque and Osmanthus and ran to get a sample. It’s beautiful. ❤️
