A trip
When one takes a trip, he has a lot to tell....

Rihla- Arabic journey, takes us on a very gentle journey through the Orient.

So far, Diptyque was unknown to me and so my way led me to a Berlin branch. To my surprise, we were guided by a French woman through the series, which entertained us with many anecdotes about the house and the fragrances.

Without investigating here at Parfumo, I decided on my gut for this fragrance here.

I think he smells just wonderfully soft and beautiful. Everything is excellently matched. Light leather,iris and raspberry in the foreground. The rest creates a creaminess and I can well understand the association to warm desert sand.

At home, I could not leave it then and browse through the comments here - And apparently it is quite similar to a Tom Ford.

I understand the criticism, but the wheel can also not be reinvented 1000 times. And what speaks against it to pick up a fragrance idea and in the end to interpret this perhaps even better and more balanced.

I think as a Parfumo one is always somewhat biased.

But I recommend you, do it like me! Take a trip and test freely what comes under your nose, you will not regret it. So you have the chance to create a fragrance memory, because the fragrance will always remind you of this trip.

The wanderer

I met him at a crossroads; a cloak and a staff were all he carried; his face was covered with a veil of melancholy.
We greeted each other, and I invited him. "Come to my house and be my guest!"
He went with me. At the threshold of the house, my wife and children welcomed us. He smiled at them, and they rejoiced at his coming. Then we all sat together at the table and were happy about his presence, because a mysterious peace emanated from him.
After dinner we sat down by the fire and I inquired about his wanderings. He told us many stories that evening and also the following evening, which were woven from the hardships of his days. Although he himself was kind, his stories were marked by dust and by the discomfort of his ways.
When he left us after three days, we did not feel that a guest had left us; rather, it was as if one of us was lingering outside in the garden.

Khalil Gibran, The Wanderer

Easy to Love, Difficult to Wear
What It Is: Daddy's Bentley after his mistress drove it home from the bank. Posh leather seats, fruity perfume, and fresh crisp beautiful paper money. The raspberry note is pronounced and for the first 20-30min, you'll think "oh this is nice" and then the sharp saffron & leather kick in and don't let up for the next 8+ hours. An absolute powerhouse from Fabrice Pellegrin and a stunning departure for Diptyque's usual Parisian restraint.

Who It's For: You wanted a leather fragrance, right? Right??!! You're 30+, confident, chic, and not afraid to "go there" when it comes to taking fragrance risks. Your nose is made of steel. ProTip: spray once and walk through it or, better yet, buy the hair mist for 1/4 the cost... the water-based formula is lighter, brighter, and mercifully wears off in 2-3hrs.

Alternatives: TF Tuscan Leather, though it gets a bit tannery-like, and TF Ombre Leather which captures the new car smell sans the fruit. Even if it's too strong, I find Eau Rihla more pleasing than both.

For me, I *adored* this fragrance at first sniff and couldn't get it out of my head for weeks after testing it. But the full EDP was too strong, especially for an office environment, so I gave it away.

A real, narcotic leather covered in smoke. Acrid and biting with the raspberry opening, and remains leather all through and through. Bliss.

Personally my best Diptyque. Yes, bit tuscan at first but then the iris appears to sing in. Yet classy, sophisticated.
