Diptyque Paris – Eau Mage Eau de Toilette (Les Invités du 34 Collection)
An interplay between luminous and umbran notes in perfumery. It opens with a blast of mandarin peel and fresh spices which instantly perks up the olfactory senses. As time passes through, “Eau Mage” reveals its darker facets; cashmeran, velvety rose and sensual musk fused together creates this effect.

It’s now part of the boutique exclusives with cracked-glass bottle and marble-looking cap.
The opening is very green and sharp, but quickly warms into a spicy caraway-dominant scent (although I really smell cumin), then dries into a secure musky-woody ambroxide. Overall quite interesting and masculine 🙂

Mesmerize and definitely aphrodisiac. This fragrance opens with a musky- spicy tone, but after 5 minutes develops an incredible scent that I never felt before.
It smells feral, like an extremely attractive body. Too sexy to be worn at work, unless you want to dominate colleagues.
Quite masculine, I love it on female skins as well.
Unique and. I would say, dangerous…

10 for chemistry
A reinterpretation of classics 80s smells like Tsar by Van Cleef and Arpel but with the glossiness of new chemicals.
The new version in a beautiful cracked glass bottle goes for over £100 which is way too expensive. I am not sure this is a lasting affair for me as a couple of sprays give me a headache as if sniffing glue which is a pitty. Classic but new, unfortunately not a well balanced juice making it so synthetic that buzzes your brain.

I agree with Taskphorce and Alfarom that this scent is the orphan child of CDG that was somehow adopted by the Diptyque brand (ala Brad Pitt/Angelina Jolie adopting children from overseas). Because this has none of the Diptyque pedigree.
This fragrance is not sweet, it is not fruity or floral. IT IS very synthetic (in a pleasing way), aldehydic, metallic, astringent and uber-modern
I smell the sparkling effect of citrus without the sweetness. I also smell something similar to a lit firework (not smokey, but rather a sulfuric/gun powder effect). all on top of a very muted, synthetic, linear musk.
I find it endlessly interesting and it has tremendous staying power.
Rating: 8/10 – Definitely Full bottle worthy if you can find it!

One thing is for certain, this fragrance deviates from the norm…..it doesn’t share the same DNA of Diptyque fragrances. It is a synthetic, clean-musky, woody, and jammy/metallic rose. A few fragrances immediately come to mind smelling Eau Mage: Le Labo Another 13, Escentric Molecules “Molecule 02”, and Heeley’s Agarwoud. Francine Pellegrin perfected the concept of light vs. dark with this fragrance. A huge dose of ambroxan accompanied by rose, and tangerine produce a bright, fresh, and energetic vibe while the patchouli, musk, and woody notes provide a dark and mysterious effect. Some words that I would use to describe E.M. would be seductive, unconventional, euphoric, and versatile. I applied one spray to the back of my hand and caught wafts of it for hours. This is full bottle worthy in my opinion (IF) you can find this elusive gem. I will use my bottle sparingly and once it’s gone, it’s gone…It’s a shame that this was discontinued.

I’m new to fragrances and have been testing some with decants. It will be hard for me to pick out notes but I will start with my first review of Eau Mage by Diptyque.
The opening was fresh with some spice that as alfarom said must be cumin. The opening is clean and rosy. As the fragrance calms down it becomes a lovely rose musk.
The “light and dark” play was not simultaneous. On my skin it changed depending on the atmosphere I was in. At an air-conditioned space it remained calm clean and light, close to the skin. It wasn’t later till I was hot and sweaty (and without my deoderant) that the perfume became dark and sexy. With my natural body scent, the fragrance became dark and musky with the constant scent of rose. Basically dirty, sweaty, animalic sex on a bed of tranpled roses. On my male skin I almost felt innapropriately sexy and suave.
Beautiful fragrance, can work as a light beautiful fragrance or as a dark, sexy musk.
longevity: 6 hours+
sillage: very good, more of an aura. good if hot.
scent: light and flowery/dark and musky. Always rosy.

Diptyque does Comme Des Garcons…well, sort of.
Often described as “the least Diptyque of all the Diptyques”, “The best Diptyque ever” or “the worst Diptyque ever”…one thing is for sure, L’Eau Mage is a polarizing composition or, as a friend use to say, an “iconic fragrance”.
Eau Mage is built around a consitent dose of clean, woody and sort of animalic ambroxan juxtaposed to a fresh-spicy opening of mandarine-orange and cumin. The overall effect is of a clean and at the same time dark musk with a slightly metallic edge provided by the rose oxide/ambroxan combo. If you’re into older Diptyques like L’Ombre Dans L’Eau or, let’s say, L’Autre, you’ll probably be disappointed, instead if you’re up for an abstract take on synthetic musks entirely played on juxtapositions, this is a big winner. Minimalistic yet incredibly distinctive and satisfying. By all means modern stuff.
Great projection and lasting power.
