Blind buyers beware
Whilst not all Diptyque fragrances are for me, I can certainly appreciate them for what they are, and admire them for their elegance which is consistent with the brand design overall. Oyedo seemed to tick all the boxes for me as a lover of yuzu and citrus.
How wrong I was. Hit with an overpowering cloying sledgehammer of what smelled like an antiseptic orange-menthol cough drop, I was nauseated to the point that I had to scrub it off my wrist as soon as possible. Waiting for the dry down didn’t help, as the medicinal vibes continued with the citrus cleaning product smell disappearing and leaving behind a menthol smell akin to a Vicks VapoRub ointment.
I have never scrubbed a fragrance from my skin before, but this was the first. Disgustingly sweet, sharp and medicinal, this did not work on me at all.
