Orpheon EDP vs EDT

Orphéon by DiptyqueDiptyqueOrphéon4.034 ratings

Thought I'd finally get around to doing this comparison since I picked the EDP to put on this morning for a family meal. Trying on new Diptyque perfumes is such a treat as they are probably my favorite and most worn house.

First impressions - they are utterly different, yet so much the same, and both are absolutely wonderful. It's fascinating!

The EDP, one of my favorites, is a lot warmer, woodier, a touch spicy, and powdery soft. The juniper in the opening is stronger, too. This is definitely more well blended and gives a cozier, more reserved and elegant vibe.

On to the EDT... The yuzu here is absolutely fantastic - Sweet, citric, bitter, and a little fizzy - a genius complement to the rest of the notes. Such a different vibe compared to the EDP, but the Orpheon DNA is still there. The green notes are subtle (nothing like the grassy greenness of Philosykos) and contribute to the natural feeling of the scent. The magnolia and rose (similar to the rose in Eau Rose) are light and airy compared to the sweeter, creamier jasmine in the EDP. This is a perfectly fresh, clean, crisp scent that would be amazing for spring and summer. It is fun, lively and very energizing. A very easy wear as well.

Having both would not be redundant at all. In fact, I'm extremely tempted! If you love the Orpheon DNA, both are definitely worth checking out.

    The EdT to me is just the best, I think it’s my most worn this year 🤩

      It is fantastic. I can't even say a single bad thing about it. Really tempted to get it but I'm on a strict bottle no-buy for the foreseeable future! (and I have the EDP already). Definitely going on the wishlist though 🤞

      I’m the same rn, I got one last fb a few weeks ago but that’ll be the last one till Dec or probably the new year (gonna use the November birthday loophole to ask for something tho). The EdP is amazing already, the powdery note in it is one of my favorite dry downs

      Haha same (October birthday here) and I've got some gift cards I've been saving so I may use them but otherwise, need to save money due to a lot of house and car troubles 😭 Solidarity!
