saresmells

I had a sample of this one (after smelling it in store and loving it every single time) and after a wear test on clothes AND skin while just sitting in my house, I couldn't smell this after about an hour. There is some chance I went noseblind to it, but I think it's more likely that it didn't last. I love the scent though, green with a hint of floral and fruit. The patchouli is not intrusive, so if you're a patchouli hater like myself, this is not a note you have to worry about in Eau de Sens, thankfully! Still beautiful and will test it again in the future.

This is light, slightly powdery, but also wet and floral. I wouldn't call it green at all, but there is something plant-like, perhaps a lilypad. This is my favorite of this line from Diptyque and it leads with a wide margin. It sits closer to the skin on me and lasts ~4 hours without reapplication which is totally fine. Beast mode perfumes are a hype moment. :)

This is the epitome of a juicy, succulent, ripe fig and citrus fragrance. Since this is the EDP, you can smell that it is a bit stronger/concentrated than the original in the sense that it will last longer, and it does. Beautiful on skin and hair and has great sillage. Feels like frolicking on the coastline, just what you'd anticipate from ADP's line. I love this SO much.

I am SO glad I got a travel size decant of this. It's an unlikely candidate to give the wearer a headache because it lacks any of the notes that are typical offenders for this. The mental image I get with this one is sitting on a red gingham picnic blanket in a field of wildflowers with the scent of them filling the wind around you while you chow on some watermelon. It's light and breezy and sits so beautifully on skin. On clothes, I get a bigger scent bubble on this one, but it is stunning on skin.

I blind bought this and knew I was taking a 50/50 gamble since I like vetiver and elemi, but there were some interesting notes in the rest of this. The opening really encompasses the sour, pungent citrus smell, then it descends into a super astringent version of Debaser by DS + Durga that is much more of a cologne than a perfume. It smells like spiced aftershave. I actually had to scrub this off my hand, that's how strong and unpleasant it was on my skin. It was better on the strip, but not very wearable. I think the cardamom and cumin in this, on top of the really sharp, abrasive patchouli and cedarwood combination really made this a no go for me. Without them, I think it would have less of that overbearing vibe. I could definitely see some people I know wearing this very successfully, though. I think this is a tough one and is easily an unlikeable fragrance, but it definitely is interesting. Glad I tried it.
