Very bright and summery citrus but with a cool herbaceous undertone. Starts juicy and eventually becomes quite fresh. To me this has everything I like about L’eau des Hesperides combined with L’eau de Neroli except it actually has the longevity and sillage to make it a worthwhile purchase. Surprisingly long lasting, not only for a citrus but also for a Diptyque EDT, which in my experience rarely last. Sillage isn’t huge but again, impressive for a citrus/Diptyque EDT. Might lean masculine, but definitely unisex. Not getting the cloying or candied quality some people mention.

I am reminded of a few things: orange tic tacs, orange halls cough drops, and Satsuma bubble bath by The Body Shop. A vibrant, slightly mentholated mandarin – very bright and uplifting, but seems to fade rather fast

There are a lot of Citrusy fragrance in market. What is your favorite ones? Annick Goutal, Atelier Cologne, Jo Malone, Xerjoff and …
Yes this is various market. Specially about Niche perfumes. Mostly they use Citrusy notes in combination to aromatic green notes (such as rosemary, thyme, cypress and…), woody notes (specially cedar wood & oak moss) and some spices such ginger.
This format usually common. As you are more aware citrus small volatile molecules have not long stability so they have to use some stronger base for improve this factor & which notes can act better green, woody aromatics? I think that the most important point for preference each one to others is just two things. First how much we get natural citrus smell & second, how much they could keep citrusy smell without significant effect of other notes.
Oyedo by diptyque use Yuzu, Orange and other its family member for creating very bold & sharp citrusy accord. This natural sense reminds me of orange garden with strength aromatic herbal smell that has a bit sweet vibe. Oyedo really has not woody fact in my opinion. I like its natural & lovely smell but its longevity isn’t satisfy at all. I recommend Acqua Viva Profumum Roma as a perfect, natural and strong choice for spring.

Totally fun, totally weird. Starts out with a sweet juicy blast of orange and yuzu, then the herbal thyme busts in and there’s a chilly mentholated cough-drop feel going on. In Japan taking a hot soak in a yuzu-filled bath is a way to welcome the winter solstice and this scent evokes that natural image, but at the same time it smells like a totally unnatural but delicious chewy orange “fruit snack” that I loved as a child, the kind that came in little plastic packages and were sometimes shaped like sharks. So, yeah, like I said—totally fun, totally weird.
Убийца1977 – :
Juicy herbal. Very sweet citrus opening (you can definitely make out the yuzu) with nose-tinglingly fizzy thyme underneath. Contradiction of nearly cloying juiciness with mentholated herbs. Pretty artificial smelling for a niche fragrance – reminds me of orange hand-soap. Expensive hand-soap but hand-soap nonetheless. Other people’s mileage may vary though. Very long lasting, unusually so for a citrus fragrance, but this just seems to be further evidence Diptyque relied on artificial chemicals. Pleasantly cheerful.

I have stated this before, but I found this amazing place and all of you while searching for a long lost love.
It was a citrus perfume called “Clementine”. I purchased 3 bottles between 1996 and 1998, but after that I had been unable to find it again.
I came here looking for this citrus dream. I wanted to smell it again but unfortunately it could not be found.
Luckily,through this site, I have found soooo many new loves and I could not be happier with my growing collection.
Back to the scent in hand… I received this beauty yesterday and I am so happy I did! The first spray is a strong but bitter citrus. It makes me say “Whoa!” but not in a good way, but almost instantly it becomes a soft and GORGEOUS citrus punch. It’s pretty linear and just smells of citrus throughout the wearing. It is so reminiscent of my long lost “Clementine”. Part of me wonders if some of this association is just time influencing my scent memory, but I can’t shake it. This is as close as I have ever come to finding it again and I am soooo in love. There was a pleasant surprise in the drydown though, because to my nose, I almost smell something that smells like grape candy. In short, this is soooo yummy! Sillage seems to be moderate but longevity seems short.
The one drawback I can see (and it is a BIG one) is the price tag. I have never spent 100$ on anything (other than cars and my wedding dress which was way more than 100$). But looks like, I’ll be saving my pennies to buy myself a bottle of this lovely stuff!

Oyedo is bit different kind of a citrus that none has come close so far in my fragrance journey. In the beginning there is bright and sweet lemon with lime and/or yuzu and then there is this punchy menthol in there and it makes all the difference. This scent get instant lemony mint feeling for sore throat; I’m not sure about the brand nor the flavour but it is clear as day that’s what it reminds me of.
When the mid comes it’s just intensity of the beginning that has dropped. Same could be said about the drydown as it’s really the same as mid but bit quieter with very slight woody note waving in the background trying to be noticed.
Longevity is middle of the road for me and sillage is actually bit better than average citrusy scent as I do get way more wafts of it than I expected. Overall I do like Oyedo, so far it really is one of a kind in fragrances with its bright mentholated citrus scent. Linearity with this one could be good or bad depending how you see it, as for me I could not count it as a problem.
Hotter summer weather is realm of Oyedo; rarely I think any fragrance is for just one season but with this one I could say just summer wear and in very casual situation.
I’m on the fence with this one, the scent is nice but it instantly reminds me of that good lemony mint and I’m not quite sure if I want to smell like it though. While lacking versatility and Finnish summer being what it is justifying bottle purchase of this is really hard for me though I might keep sample of this available as it is nice for hot lazy days.
lalsbainoulse – :
A neglectable one from Diptyque. O-ye-NO!
The biggest problem is that there is some greasy but sharp vibe in the base — smells like pine-seed oil that went bad — extremely annoying. It goes straight to your head with a huge dose of pungent menthol then paralyzes your neuro system immediately, and makes you feel a knife is stabbing your brain.
Besides, as some guys mentioned, it is too sweet, yet not that cloying for my taste though. Not to mention that the mandarin accord is very synthetic which is in line with Acqua di Parma Arancia di Capri, namely the same synthetic and too sweet ingredients.
Trust me, you can find hundreds of better alternatives within the genre even with much lower budget on the market.
Rating: 3.0/10

Very strange – lots of menthol and orange.
If Vicks made an orange flavoured Vapour Rub, this is what it would smell like. There is a longer-lasting, subtle floral note, but it’s swamped in the menthol – if I smelt this on someone I would assume they were undergoing some kind of treatment.
A shame as my long-lasting love of another fragrance (Happy, by Clinique) (which happens to be rather non-long-lasting) led to a recommendation for this. They couldn’t be more wrong.
destroy21 – :
One of the worst that I’ve tried. There’s something so synthetic about it.. Cloying, not from the sweetness but from it being so synthetic.. definitely not a safe blind buy.
fonveiland – :
Boiled sweets! Eeeeyaaaaaah!
It smells so sophisticated in the bottle, a very unusual combination of wood and citrus with something herbal but on my skin it’s just not very nice at all.
It lasts though, I’ll give it that. I spent something like half an hour in the bathroom trying to scrub it off!
Mezhs338InsuffBooni – :
If you’re from Thailand, Philippines, or Singapore, and you have walked in a Made in Candy store, give this perfume a sniff and I know you can attest to it smelling exactly like Made in Candy. Oyedo also reminds me of lemon candy/lemon drops.
It’s so yummy! I love it so much, and my boyfriend loves it too (I think he loves it on me waaayy more than I do haha)!

When you are very hot, spray directly all over your skin, this citrus fragrance, it cool you very well. Try it!
fragranza di agrumi pungenti e molto rinfrescante quando fa caldo spruzzare sulla pelle la raffredda

This scent is fairly linear. To me, the smell is basically sweet orange without any sharpness, mixed with menthol.
Longevity and projection are both good.
krainiy – :
“Oyedo” is where you are totally lavished with real citrus peel and juice in a cover of stunning herbs. Just an unexpected, yet desirable, fruity citrus boost is so overwhelming and powerful that it is barely impossible to do not start spining altogether with this miraculous fresh accord. First ever citrus fragrance with such enveloping strength. Once sprayed, the scent is fully devoted to its wearer and do not leave him/her for about a day.
Filler – :
Such an antiseptic top, an odd scent. Not harmonious, not natural, not joyous… and not a keeper.
Максимельян – :
More room perfume than a perfume, and if perfume, so for men only. Smells like herbs and grass with a little herbal juice.
bazilio63 – :
Try combining Oyedo with another Diptyque fragrance to tweak it. My fav is Oyedo + L’Ombre Dans L’Eau. I use L’Ombre all over, arms and legs. Then spritz a bit of Oyedo on my neck and chest. C’est magnifique!!
PS Let this combo dry down a bit before you meet and greet. Right out of the bottle it’s pretty intense. But the dry down is lovely!!!

On me, it smells like orange candy from the little dispenser toys. Or toothpaste almost?
I’m sad, I would have liked for it to match my skin chemistry.
gabka – :
I went through a phase of wearing this one for a while several years ago. I first smelled it and thought it was fresh and sweet. I liked the herbal notes. Overwhelmingly, though, this is like wearing orange soda as perfume. Something about it I still like, I just am not sure I would ever buy it again. I think I’m over it :-

My favorite perfume ever! First time I’ve smelt it on my boyfriend and then stolen bottle from his bathroom:) I didn’t care that it’s probably male – I just loved it, loved it very much! Combination of fresh lemon and warm woody notes are remarkable and stay in your mind for a long time. All my friends always ask about this perfume when i use it and I already finish 3rd bottle, and definitely there will be 4th!
lisa.volma – :
This is so charming. It reminds me of a bright summer day, with birds chirping and people walking out and about looking to enjoy the beauty that is the outdoors during that lovely warm summer season here in the northeast.
All i can say is that this smells exactly like a mandarin orange, if you love those then this is the perfume for you!
xdo741elipseskism – :
It’s a very fresh and citrusy fragrance. Perfect for this season if you like citrus. This is a simple and linear scent, perfect for those who need a boost of energy
Gracho – :
An impulse purchase. Mandarin oranges, non-complex. Very refreshing and soft, rather lasting on my skin. Vaguely remind me of The Body Shop Satsuma.
Got it at real good deal from Kuala Lumpur Pavillion at RM305 (S$113, USD82)for 50ml

Like you, for a long time, I’ve been trying to identify what Oyedo reminded me of. I have found it and maybe it will help you as well: for me, it is the smell of citrus fruits of course, PLUS the smell of the Christmas tree, (fir or spruce tree). And for me it’s a wonderful perfume.

mandarin orange… STOP

To me this perfume is a multidimensional, full bodied, elevated scent of grapes! So yummy, refreshing, and summery.
gonzamoto – :
After Philosykos this is the second Diptyque perfume I’ve tried, and this is similar in that it doesn’t smell very perfume-like at all. I’m convinced I’ve smelled this scent in the real world before, but I haven’t been able to pinpoint where exactly (and it’s been driving me crazy). Some kind of tea, or a cleaning product or shampoo? Maybe cough drops, for me that’s the most convincing likeness in this reviews section.
In any case, it’s an extremely aromatic kind of citrus: very herbal, even medicinal. A bit bitter. It must be the thyme that’s causing this, but in some kind of reaction with the citrus, because it doesn’t smell like fresh or dried thyme to me. It’s very original, and not a bad smell by any means, but I don’t think I’d like to smell like this full-time. For one thing, I like my fragrances a bit more perfume-like, and for another, I just can’t really focus on forming a better thought out opinion because I have to keep trying to remember what it reminds me of…
Fluevalup – :
I’m happy to report my first truly successful case of layering ever. The syrupy sweetness of Oyedo that unfortunately develops on my skin was gently removed with the kind assistance of Colonia Essenza (Acqua di Parma). The latter is sort of nice but has too many soapy qualities in it for my taste. But now the sticky sweetness is gone from Oyedo and so is the soapiness from the Colonia. What’s left is a beautiful cologne with green and dry notes, and of course a focus on the citrus. It also lasts longer than the original Colonia. I’m happy!
stasyaaaaan – :
Smells like Fruity Pebbles to me! It’s very sweet. Not really a fan, but the nice thing is the citrus isn’t overly sharp.
Have to edit, because it is growing on me. I like the subtle herbal notes that peak through. I’ve read it layers well with Philosykos, so I’ll have to try that!
anonij – :
More Yuzu and lime than orange fruits, in fact one could be persuaded to believe this is a grapefuit fragrance although its not listed here as one of the notes. As with any citrus fragrance the longevity and projection is limited but it is an interesting scent that goes a tad beyond plain citrus. It reminds me a lot of Lush’s Snowshowers scent. Unfortunately for me this one turns on my skin, it becomes quite bitter and almost peppery, like the taste you get when you bite into the skin and pith of a grapefruit. Unpleasant and unpredictable when that happens.
Dinoos – :
Oyedo is a fabulously fresh, grapefruity/citrusy scent, with a nice aromatic woodsy base. It’s energizing and has a spa like effect.
Works good in both hot and cooler weather, with the heat bringing out more of the tangerine and yuzu more. When it’s colder the thyme and woods are more prominent.
Compared to other citrus fragrances, this lasts about the same, which is average.
This is fairly linear, but more natural than some others and it has a decidedly Japanese spirit, that is immediately noticeable.
One of my favorite scents when I want more of an experience, rather than a fragrance.

Very linear, VERY fruity, but with a twist. I love the dash of bitter thyme in the midst of these sweet, juicy citruses. Again, Diptyque steals the show with the realness of all the notes portrayed in this fragrance. The fruits may be sweet, but they have a lot of tartness as well, just like the real thing. It actually makes me want a glass of fresh-squeezed juice every time I smell it! This scent actually reminds me of this ginger-thyme lemonade one of my grandfathers likes to make when it’s hot out. It reminds me of late summer evenings. Oyedo is a lot more grown-up than most of the fruity fragrances I’ve smelled. I’d say anyone of any age could wear this and not seem out of place. Of the Diptyques I’ve tested, Oyedo and Ofresia are the two I’d be most likely to buy full bottles of. Masterfully done! I’m very impressed with this house.
sleeniosessit – :
This perfume is very linear – I get orange, mandarine, orange, orange, mandarine etc…..
It starts off really strong orange smell, then it becomes a softer orange smell. I wish I could smell the woods in this but I can’t get over the orange note. Might be better in the summer – it is winter now so I don’t really like it as much as say, Byredo’s Pulp or Diptyque’s Philosykos at the moment, but I will review again in summer and hope it works better on me.

Silly rabbit. Trix are for kids! (US breakfast cereal)
Either that or else I was a good girl at the doctor’s office today.
The weather is so effing hot today and this fragrance is pretty refreshing – in a shiny happy people holding hands kind of a way. It’s not sour and yet it’s not cloying. Nice opening, and after two hours, it has not faded a bit. I’m enjoying it. I prefer the early, sweeter stage to the drydown, which is more about the yuzu.
Update: After six hours, it’s still with me and most enjoyable. It just keeps going and going and going. Wait. Wrong bunny!

This smells exactly like those hand wrapped hard orange candies that you would get as a kid. Very unique as far as a fragrance goes. But nothing amazing. What’s amazing is how they got it to smell identical to the candy. Lol

The happiness of a child in a bottle. Oyedo is the prince of all citrus based perfumes and it deserves the title of ‘Made in Heaven’.
dim51 – :
This js such a mood lifter WOW to me it smells like freshly peeled sugary ripe juicy tangerines. It smells like a tangerine sherbet sweets kids would like. It is a bit synthetic, in a way, but it is definitely a happy happy fragrance, very energising and refreshing. Not great longevity and after initial blast of fresh citrus, not very good projection either.
Having said all that, I would so love to have a full bottle of this quite soon!

OMG alfarom. . . You crack me up ;D !
To my nose a yummy citrusy sweet bouquet.
That’s it. End of story.

smells like sweet lime and mandarin,very nice,great for summer.Very natural
dawdoorry – :
This is exactly peeling like peeling a mandrin and eating it. The main note in this is a very natrual sweet juicy mandrin.
I also get some hints of lemon and lime but they never overlap the mandrin. This scent also could have been called madarin Oranage and no one would argue.
This scent also has a light creamy vibe and some feint woods to support the scent. Very fresh and in my opinion one of the best citrus fragrances i have ever smelt. I have tried the hermes orange vert, some acqua di parma and some frederic malle scents that also have good citruss scents but to me this is the one.
As soon as i smelt this scent it took me to my childhood, when i used to really enjoy being out with my freinds in the summer heat. This fragrance just makes me happy. sillage is very good and lasting power is 4-6 hours than stays close to the skin. quite expensive £48 for a 50ml but does smell natural and expensive. Very modern unnisex scent, the scent itself is very straight forward and will not keep you guessing like some other fragrances.
But having said that What you do get is a simple amazing smell.
Scent 8/10
Meppl230Negeltzex – :
Diptyque OYEDO is a fresh citrus scent featuring petit grain or agrumes, it seems to me. This composition bears resemblance to some of the offerings of the house of Fresh. An inviting, natural-smelling citrus cologne with a touch of vetiver and perfect for warm weather. I must be anosmic to whatever is inspiring all of the shout-outs of “odd!” “strange!” and “weird!” To my nose, there is nothing revolutionary or earthshattering here at all, just a typical niche citrus creation made with high-quality components.
Many niche offerings strike me as similar to ice cream, offering variations on familiar, comfortable themes but using high-quality ingredients. No one is inventing anything radically new in the ice cream world at this point in time. The idea or, if you will, Platonic Form of ice cream is well-established, and we often find ourselves drawn to the classics. Although gourmet “innovators” may try to convince us that we want to eat basil or chickpea gelato, and those savory flavors may work well served as a small part of a larger presentation, the truth is that sometimes we just want a big bowl of good old-fashioned vanilla or chocolate ice cream well made. It’s not a demerit to anyone’s mind—and least of all their taste buds or tummy—that the best ice creams around are all copies of flavors that have been around for a very long time.
The same story holds, mutatis mutandis, for citrus colognes such as OYEDO, IMNSHO. This one works just fine—for what it is.
opl – :
This is weird! Citruses in a bizarre, odd, almost unpleasant accord. Nothing really disturbing but way too strange. It’s like they’ve lost control while executing the original recipe and everybody got drunk at the Diptyque factory.
– “Oh My god, was it a 2 or a 20 on the measuring cap?”
– “which cap?”
– “Forget It”

Extremely fresh and citrusy and delicious. My only complaint is that it fades into nothingness SO quickly on my skin. After an hour or two, I can’t smell it anymore. Keep a vial of it with you to touch up during the day if you want it to last.

I tried this one at 6.p.m.- by 8.30p.m. – it absolutely disappeared.
Just a little lemon touch, that’s all.
I wonder, if I did the same with a sqeesed lemon on my skin, it would be the same.

Dig your nails deep into a tangerine & sniff the bitter oils that burst from the pitted skin.
Place a bowl of mandarine segments in syrup in the sun to warm & then slurp them up.
Pop a bubble of citrus-fresh washing up liquid.
Open a 3-peel & caraway seed hot-cross-bun & breathe in the orange-scented steam.
Now rev up the intensity of these experiences & triple the mandarin juice content . . . this is what the juicy, fruity wake-up scent, Oyedo, is all about!
Forget about the woods (what woods?) & don’t worry much about the caraway….it is as if Diptyque popped a whole mandarin in each bottle, peel pulp & all. The whole fruit & nothing but the fruit. It avoids being cutsey, girly or frooty because this oddity is sour, bitter & real.
Wearing Oyedo is an interesting experience…my mouth even watered! But who wants to masquerade as a mandarin?

Detergent people are always thinking of something new for people to buy, however pointless it may be. Say, for example, cotton-candy-scented fabric softener. “Yeah, great idea, let’s make a sticky-sweet-synthetic-citrus-fresh fabric softener. But guess what, we’ll test-market it as a niche fragrance.” This was designed by one sick puppy of a nose. On the drydown it gets to smell like very hops-heavy beer spilled over a barroom floor the preceding night. Actually, that is nearly an improvement. One of the all-time lows of niche perfumery

i was looking for a nice orange scent for a long time, i tested perfumes from Hermés, Aqua di Parma, Fragonard, Serge Lutens, Nicolai etc.
But this one i really liked best!! it has a full bouquet and not too much woody spices. its a nice orange parfume!
