Diptyque Eau Rose Eau de Parfum Winner

January 27, 2022January 31, 2022

The 10-year anniversary of the original Eau de Toilette (2012) made it an opportune time to re-conceptualize Diptyque Eau Rose Eau de Parfum. Crafted by Master Perfumer Fabrice Pellegrin the 2021 Winner of the Prix Francois Coty, who specializes in rose scents, and is the creator of a number of iconic Diptyque scents (such as Do Son and Eau Duelle), all constructed around notes of the rose, it is a mixture comprised of the original Damascena and Centifolia roses, as a tribute to its sister scent, but M. Pellegrin gives us a richer and more intense aroma as an update to its predecessor, the Eau Rose EDT.

MEMO Paris Flam Review (2021) + a nordic draw

MEMO Paris Flam is a fragrance that brings the magnetic energy of the northern lights in the coziness of a warm home with a whiff of upcoming spring.

Once the fair weather returns, revealing a lush valley in endless hues, with the waterfalls singing in the background. Bergamot and sambac jasmine. The landscape becomes all the more intense upon entering the depths of the fjord, where the sea meets freshwater.
