Fleur de Peau Diptyque 2018 Eau de Parfum

After a clean scent that always works, I searched for a long time. Fresh laundry scents can be nice sometimes, but they quickly annoy me on my skin. Clean skin scents with a salty note are also not really my thing.

Fleur de Peau Eau de Parfum is somehow different. It has something classic about it, which is probably due to the blend of iris, musk, and aldehydes. However, it doesn’t come across as outdated to me; rather, it has a touch of French chic.

In the opening, the pepper comes through pleasantly sparkling, and I think I can perceive ambrette seeds consistently in the background. But what I mainly notice longer and more prominently is a fresh, dry, clean iris that almost surrounds me - carried by the clean musk - in a molecular way.

This scent doesn’t overwhelm you, but it’s somehow always there, and even after a long workday, it was still noticed by those around me.

For me, it’s the perfect blend of polished, classic-chic, and modern. Perhaps it’s simply timeless. In any case, I’m happy to have found my clean skin scent.
