I am enjoying my sample of Eau Moheli. I’ve worn it to work today. I work in close contact with people as a sports massage therapist and feel that it has been pleasant but also light enough to not be intrusive for my clients. I suspect after a time, other people can smell it more clearly on me than I can – I have actually resprayed it 3 times since this morning as I kept losing the scent entirely.
At first I got strong yellow/white florals like honeysuckle, and immediately a very tasteful ylang ylang that didn’t make me think of hippie oils, which some ylang ylang can. It quickly changed to something more orange coloured like jasmine and there it stays. My opinion of it has changed more than the smell – at one point I felt like an upmarket hotel bathroom – it is very clean. However, I think it’s a very likeable smell and I suspect on a cooler day it may have better longevity. I also suspect that after the summer I may want a smell like this to lift the greyer days back into some colour.
It is not the world’s most vibrant perfume, nor complex or particularly sophisticated, but I feel that it is pretty, feminine and light. It settles into a personal and more-ish skin smell. You notice it on your clothes the next day. I certainly like it a lot and am quite sure I’ll find its perfect time and place.

I bought this blindly because of the great reviews…..I guess there is something wrong with me and my son, but to both of us, it smells like the pine trees that you hang in your car for air fresheners! 🙁 It’s awful! the only good thing I can say about it, is that it doesn’t last very long so we all don’t have to sit around and smell THAT for a whole day! YIKES!
FaugrurGe – :
It smells amazing – woody, but less strong than Tam Dao, more floral and sweet. I like it because it’s not overwhelmingly feminine or masculine, but that’s like most of Diptyque scents… Honestly, apart from Tam Dao, I feel like it’s up there amongst the best wood scents of diptyque. However, I really didn’t try it out long enough to comment on longevity and the dry down.
Would love to see Moheli again and test it out more.
mabboobia – :
this is a spicy yellow floral on me. i believe i mostly get ylang ylang, “floral notes”, ginger and pink pepper.it’s kind of tropical, yet kind of not. it’s very summery. the patchouli is just a hint, this is a spicy clean floral scent. there is something about this that is just a bit too clean for me…i think i like my florals dirtier, however, i would definitely wear this in summer, especially to a picnic. it seems perfect for wearing out and about in warm weather.
dark5522 – :
I wish I didn’t buy perfume on the same day.
I love Diptyque, My favourite is Tam Dao, because it reminds me so much of many meaningful places and this is what perfume is meant to do for me.
However, from time to time I break my rule and let myself be suggested by others.
I was in one small perfume shop going through Diptyque range and I smelled Moheli, and the smell was alright at the time. I would leave ti on the shelf tough, it was not my thing. And then an Asian lady comes to me (customer not seller) and she says how much she loves this fragrance and that in Asia ylang ylang is considered an aphrodisiac. Do I even need to go into details? I love Asia and idea of alluring smell, got it. 80£ poorer I got home only to unwrap and spray it and decide that I hate this smell. First it is so not me, sweet and just too much of ylang ylang and I realised or reminded myself that I hate the small of ylang ylang. So much. Only I could tho smell it so well in the shop sprayed by 5 other perfumes. This smell gives me a serious headache and sickness. So now trying to get rid of it on Ebay, pretty much new 100ml bottle. oh dear I advent learnt any lesson since last time I bought Channel like this and other highly priced bottles….

Eau Moheli by Diptyque smells like nothing else in my collection! Spicy pink pepper and ginger top notes tickle my nose with buttery soft ylang-ylang all on a vetiver base. Oddly enough this fragrances makes me think “banana leaves” because it’s spicy and green smelling. I love spicy scents and florals and I think this combined the two of them in to one dreamy fragrance! It’s never too spicy or too floral and very fresh – I have a feeling I am going to be wearing Eau Moheli frequently this summer!
Nikolas14 – :
Moheli- too light faint ylang which is hardly to detect – citrussy at the opening then a hint of ylang fades to nothing, no real drydown, no base. But nice as long it lasts.
Addition after months after I have used up my bottle by half: Never thought that I would looove this fresh spicy Ylang soon much. It’s uplifting, referring and like ice cubes on the skin when it is really hot outside. I have the pocket size always in my bag.
Edit months later: still love this frag. Bought the large bottle now. Can’t wait for the spring to come…
23SERGEY23 – :
Eau de nothing much, I’m afraid. A nice smell of ylang-ylang at the start (I use the essential oil all the time), but after five minutes it’s a soft jasmine and then it’s gone altogether. No real drydown. I think I would need 20 spritzes of this to make it work – it’s like an eau fraîche.

OH MAN I LOVE THIS ONE
i have no idea what ‘yellow florals’ are but this perfume is my LOVE. was looking for something for autumn a few years ago, and i was searching for something plant-ish but with some zing to it (i think i frustrated the HELL out of the salesperson at Mecca with my overwhelmingly clever vocabulary), and this is what i found!
i honestly have no idea how to describe it — to me it smells ‘green’ and ‘spicy’, but i’m not sure if those words mean to more educated folks what they mean to me.
at the time, i was working in a place where i’d hug people when i arrived, and one of the comments was that i “always smelled so clean” – which i have to agree with! this perfume does have a ‘clean’ smell to it! but it’s interesting ‘clean’; a little warm — i think that’s the ginger.
ylang-ylang and ginger, but green and fresh.
yeah, i do NOT have the vocab for this. i love it, please try it.
dprof – :
Great ylang-ylang. I can’t detect any incense or benzoin (notes which I adore). It’s an overall fresh cute uplifting ylang-ylang. Personally it reminds me of Bali.
simpson1076 – :
Regardless of how one may like or dislike any of the Diptyque fragrances, their quality is exceptional and their style very chic.
Moheli is a soft and sweet fragrance that doesn’t revisit the same old tropical themes such as Bain du Soleil, Pina Colada and overbearing synthetic exotic flowers.
It is a fresh, sweet, natural and comforting elixir that easily refreshes during those oppressively hot summer days and happily uplifts the spirits on those grey and chilly winter months.
Katherine_fromAD – :
Lovely and creamy at the opening – “tropical” without the sunscreen notes – but I went to search for it on my arm five minutes later and it was gone!
64evgen64 – :
Very simple, very lighly, very nothing…
stas.. – :
I don’t know how anyone could not absolutely love this. It’s gorgeous! Floral and fruity, spice-y and sweet in a well executed melange of flavors! It’s almost edible!
The juicy opening and peppery dry down make this something I’d wear on vacation. Wear it lightly!
Another great and romantic composition by Diptyque.
cristinutza – :
I was not expecting much from this and typically do not enjoy ‘yellow floral’ notes, whatever that might mean, yet along with Eau de Tarroco this is a delight: very natural, very wafty and lasts a decent amount of time with just a couple of sprays.
шурик 112 D – :
It doesn’t smell like any other ylang-ylang fragrances (not even the essential oil!), so there must be something else that makes it so sweet, comforting, and breezy.. Any ideas?
manimal – :
So here I am having some tea and watching a film while waiting for Eau Moheli to develop, since I’ve recently received a sample of it from a friend….. I do like it, but it’s not intersected by a play of unexpected shifts and changes. It doesn’t have a complex development. It is powerful and it actually does deliver a 70’s, 80’s perfumes feeling, when yellow florals where quite popular and heavy. I like Ylang-Ylang since it can reach some unknown depths and thus create a mysteriuos atmosphere. On the other hand it can also appear bright, summery, almost joyful, so it can develop lots of possibilities and I most often find it very comforting.
This scent is actually warm and comforting as well. I particularly like the opening, a beautiful balmy, fresh spicy start interwined with Ylang-Ylang resulting in a warm and cozy embrance with a woody drydown. But that’s it, a pleasing, sophisticated scent that could be more of an alternative every now and then since it’s too linear.
escomGeks – :
I quite like this perfume, because it smells happy and summery.
I expected to see fruits in the notes list, something like ripe mango or papaya, but it’s not so, so I guess that the fruit edge comes with a juicy ylang ylang, actually the star here. I like all the other notes and I smell them as complimentary, especially the ginger, not overwhelming.
Apparently a simple blend, but it gives out a nice evolution, both exotical and bright.
It smells like something familiar to me in the ’80s, I think the juicy fruitscents, so different from current fruity scents. A bit like original Byblos.
BorBOSS – :
All I get is a loud ylang-ylang note, kind of screechy, with just enough pepper and ginger to remind me of Miracle, and not in a good way. Glad it was just a sample, not a blind buy. Too linear, too floral, boring. Reminds me more of air freshener than upscale perfume.
A100lex – :
I got a sample encouraged by the reviews describing this scent as “tropical”.
Well, it’s anything but. It’s a good scent but very dry and weed-y, all I can smell from top to bottom is gerbera flowers.
I’ll use my sample if I’m in the mood for that but beachy and tropical it ain’t!
-=MIX=- – :
Absolutely a Summer’s day with each spray….not a wet tropics vibe so much, which is what could be perceived by it’s name & the Ylang Ylang note, but more a ‘dry’ heat still with a ‘beachy’ essence to it. Like a beach surrounded by sand dunes, causurina trees & rural farmlands along a coastline.
Must be the resins, vetiver & incense notes blending with the ginger.
This has definitely become a warm sweet high-summer GO TO perfume for me.
Ruwshun – :
After reading the other reviews I had to share my experience with Eau Moheli which really is quite different. I find this perfect for those freezing rainy days: it turns to the most seductive scent I ever smelled!!! Mysterious-sensual-spicy with just enough green and flowery undertones that don’t take over.
Lasts until shower on skin and until laundry on clothes.
Try it your self, you never know…
Archili – :
This is ylang-ylang fragrance. Light and linier, a little green, a little sweet and spicy.
To be honest, it’s very mediocre and forgettable.
jfw789elipseskism – :
I received a sample of Diptyque Eau Moheli and I am testing it today. The initial spray is very flowery and smells like a flower bush my grandmother had in her back yard. It brought me back to that moment.
The Ylang-Ylang is definitely there with other flowery notes. The incense is definitely in the dry down. Definitely a summer scent. I’m not sure if I will purchase a bottle.
Alex Dark – :
This is my first Diptyque bottle and I just had to bring this mama home !!!
It absolutely, no doubt, smells like Ylang-ylang. My childhood flower. The scent is so nice, so floral…it captures the true ylang-ylang goodness. Very fresh, very real.
if your are an ylang-ylang lover, if you are from the islands and a lover true island girl, this I’m sure you will like !
KleinePaula – :
As a Diptyque fan I’m very disappointed with the fragrances I’ve smelled so far in the Les Florals collection namely Eau Rose & this one. They lack the soul, the refinement and the natural quality of the ones in the Eaux de toilette line.
This one for instand is horrible. Ultra synthetic, ultra common smelling and reminds me nothing of the flower that it represent which is ylang ylang.
If Eau Rose IMO is the rose with a boring musky base version of Eau De Lierre then this one lends some smelling profile from Ofresia but done in a very very lousy way.
So disappointed!
Mehta813elipseskism – :
Alien EDT + Chanel Chance fraiche 🙂 ,on my skin.
mister213 – :
This is the olfactory equivalent of the “artificial paradises” of C. Baudelaire but in this case very very natural paradises.
A green, exotic and balsamic fragrance, it brings to mind tropical islands surrounded by clear water and rich vegetation.
Wonderful.
OldRap – :
White flowers, especially ylang ylang, but also a waterflower vibe, probably rendered by a subtle hint of vetyver, sprinkled with lots of pepper. Unfortunately, the peppery notes smell overwhelming to me and the rest fails to impress me.
mil2161 – :
Eau Moheli is quite pretty, but certainly isn’t my favorite Diptyque.
What is excellent about this creation, especially keeping in mind that it’s a Diptyque, is the longevity. As much as I love this brand, they aren’t the best in the lasting power department. Eau Moheli, though, lasts more than 10 hours on my skin.
The scent itself is quite tasteful, it’s a powdery and a tad spicy ylang ylang with something else nondescript floral, which drydown is nondescript woody. Still, an inoffensive and well balanced, naturally smelling composition, but, in my opinion, it does not live up to the standards of the brand. To me, it lacks something, especially in comparison to other Diptyques that I find to be very… soulful, if it makes any sense in this context.
In other words – Eau Moheli is pleasant to wear, but it does not make me dream 🙂
Ontortattarry – :
I am a sample person always on the hunt for the perfect scent. I own only two FBs. One of them is Eau Moheli (the other is Prada Amber, which I’ve loved for years). It’s such a mood lifter. I can’t get enough of it.
cotelnikow.d – :
I like this fragrance – it reminds me of Leona Edmiston Eau de Parfum, which isn’t listed in this database and apparently (and sadly) has been discontinued.
To me Eau Moheli initially is an overpowering ylang ylang/patchouli blast, however it becomes much more pleasant as it dries down. It wears well in hot, humid conditions, which surprised me as other fragrances like this tend to turn sour on me.
It’s worth trying (and waiting:) )
lenik86 – :
You guys this smells almost exactly like that fragrance that is not in fragrantica’s data base. The stuff you probably have seen at TJmaxx or Marshalls.. I even bought that last month..They are called “POLO CLUB BEVERLY HILLS” Moheli is almost identical to the BLUE box of that Polo Club Beverly Hills stuff.. If not %100, it smells like it 97%… Lol 🙂
DISKOUA – :
Absolutely beautiful from the second I sprayed it on, bought it immediately. Well done Diptyque, another wonderful scent to add to my ever growing Diptyque collection. If you love soft ylang ylang, fresh floral, then you will love this perfume. Highly recommend it…. My new favourite. You could blind buy this one and I doubt you will be disappointed.
Gogi123 – :
I walked into the Diptyque boutique thinking that I wanted Volutes, L’Ombre or Do Son, but I walked out with Moheli. Why? Several reasons, first two being practical: this EDT (though it’s really more of a cologne like the other Eaux) was about 100HKD less than the others, and it’s about all I had left in my wallet on the last night of my trip. Second, I don’t have anything in my collection featuring ylang ylang, so diversifying is always good. Third, I was perfume shopping under hot, damp and tropical conditions and Moheli just fits in so well with that–Volutes and L’Ombre not so much. Do Son was befitting enough for the summer, but seemed a tad too uptight compared to the lively and sparkling Moheli. If they were both summer hairstyles, Do Son would be a clean, upswept chignon, while Moheli is a loose braid with face-framing tendrils. Fourth, it’s amazing beautiful, natural, exotic and (being one of the Eaux) also very simple, fresh and light–unfettered with any pretense of a niche brand, yet all the while mantaining the integrity and quality of the house of Diptyque.
eoj505speagoessenda – :
As jubal said, this is a very comfortable scent. Possibly for me, especially, since I come from the tropics. 🙂 It feels very cozy and homy to me. But also like the beach, a bit. Nice every-day summer fragrance, but I can see it being comforting in the winter. It is a warm fragrance, so it sits very well on the skin.
prima_kolian – :
Lovely floral vanilla scent to me, I don’t get any pepper. Soft, creamy and comfortable, this will definitely be in my wardrobe.
hunter6996 – :
Pepper, pepper, pepper and ‘floral notes’ on me… it seems to get peppery and pepperier as time goes on. Loved it at first but now wanting to season my lunch with it unfortunately.
zema1169 – :
I couldn’t wait to try it out! Finally got a sample and I must say it IS gorgeous.
Diptyque is my favourite fragrance house – full of beautiful, natural scents. However I have to say that to me Eau Moheli is the sexiest and the most exotic scent done by Diptyque so far.
It’s pure expensive, exotic summer in a bottle, full of warm, sunny ylang ylang and florals balanced by sexy incense, fresh pepper and sunny benzoin. It is balmy yet still fresh. It’s warm. It’s sexy! Not your typical, warm exotic scent. A totally new take of ylang-ylang.
What comes to mind when I smell this is a 5 star holiday in Madagascar, full of wonderful adventures in the sun. I agree with prettyswag – there is some rasta vibe to it…
If I were to compare it to something I would say that this is the sexy, exotic version of Do Son. If Do Son was an elegant, spring-like, high fashion girl wearing white dresses and floral blazers, Moheli would be her fun, tan sister with curly hair who wears stunning maxi dresses.
oto-1-1-1 – :
i love this ..just got this…smells like my african oils..balmy incense….gives me my rasta vibe…..african food , music…and my tan carmel skin blend right in !
