Diptyque Orpheon EDP

Orpheon is another one of my favorite Diptyque perfumes. It opens up with a strong blast of peppery, sharp juniper berries that vanishes almost as quickly as the initial blast of alcohol from the atomizer. After that, it becomes a gorgeously smooth blend of woodiness, mild citrus, clean jasmine, a wisp of smoke, and the lightest hint of powdery, freshly washed skin. I normally dislike juniper and smoke, but they are both very subtle in the mid and dry down, simply adding a welcome complexity to the composition.

The performance is quite good - It projects well for several hours and also has excellent longevity, lasting about 8-10 hours on my skin. I do think this is an easy one for me to go nose blind to, but I get whiffs here and there for hours. It is not loud, but more of a constant presence.

Orpheon is so easy to wear, comfortable, and familiar. It is a sophisticated, elegant perfume that would make a wonderful signature scent. It is unisex and very versatile - I can't think of an occasion or season where it would be out of place. A great one to throw on after a shower to feel effortlessly put together. Wearing this always makes me feel like the best version of myself! 10/10
