The good old Diptyque. Clean, natural, uplifting. Please bring it back

This is my go to summer scent. The lavender in this is sweet and rich, not medicinal, nor harsh at all. It is invigorating and soothing at the same time.
The bitter orange accord really opens the scent up nicely, but does not stay too long. This keeps the scent from feeling too cologne-like, yet it helps to make the whole feel warm weather friendly.
Usually I am not a huge fan of musks, but the musks in this scent just meld beautifully with the other notes and sweeten up the scent. The musk never becomes detergent like, just creamy.
Now the real surprise here is the lavender. As I stated, it is a rich, almost sweet lavender. Almost like an English lavender is how I would describe it. It makes the scent refreshing and herbaceous, yet it does not come across as too masculine.
I bemoan the fact that this scent is no longer produced, but there are still bottles to be found online. Well, for those willing to spend top dollar for a bottle.

I love satyrs and fauns. I wanted to try this perfume because it had one on the bottle. What can I say? I’m a sucker for marketing.
The scent of this perfume is very creamy, vanillic, and herbal. It’s very unisex. On my skin I get vanilla liquer or syrup, and then a bunch of herbal notes. I don’t smell any orange at all.
It’s hard to describe–all I can say is that it smells like Guerlain Jicky mixed with a vanilla puddin’ pop. It also reminds me of people eating cheese danishes in a barber shop. It’s odd and I like it.

Very well blended combination of scent. Smooth
Exudes high quality
When I put it on, my head immediately lights up with orange and violet colours. This is the only fragrance that does this to me.
Definitely can be worn by male.
Creates a good feeling.

Sadly this fragrance doesnt work with my chemistry because all I smell is the bitter orange note. Which on me is not bitter at all, but very sweet. So sweet that it smells like an orange creamsicle on me. I get no musk, and no lavender at all.
Oh well, I can say it has longevity. Good quality too.

My very first Diptyque and my very favourite one .
I don’t know the difference in smell and taste between a bitter orange and a sweet one. I just know that a bitter orange(Seville orange) is valued for its essential oils while a sweet orange is consumed as a fruit .All I can say about Eau d’Elide ‘s orange is I just want to eat it, not to drink a refreshing orange juice made of it .This is your “comfort food” orange . An orange for your dessert “Vanilla and brown sugar sprinkled orange” . It is not sickly sweet as a significant but subtle green accord is being brought by aromatic shrubs which are used for a decoration purpose , to make your orange more appealing . While you are eating your dessert , lavender is wrapping you up in a comfy blanket enabling you to forget about the world outside. Eau d’Elide is about creaminess and extreme warmth.
This fragrance is obscure and controversial , that was probably a reason why it was discontinued . As for me It is a very intimate , “intellectually independent” fragrance , experienced in the depth of soul, in silence.

Nice lively, Eau d’ Elide. Not a complete success but the mix of orange and lavender gives a very confident and sexy aura on the wearer, i think. Therefore i like it.
