Eau de Lierre Eau de Toilette

So I have been searching for a daytime summer fragrance which was not too invasive, citrusy or sweet for a long time. I tryied everything but I wasn't impressed very often and then by chance this came to me. I don't like to smell like some object,particular plant or whastoever drink /food, I want to smell good, different,delicate and as a clean respectable people without turning heads necessarily (there are occasions where I do and I use statment fragrancese). This smells unbelievable, so so vegetal scent! not vegetable-like, aromatic food plants or boring synthetic greenery. Its like sap! pure sap in the opening. Take any leaf a tree or bush and you'll have this exact smell. So authentic! after say 30 minutes, it starts to lift gradually as that spring mist over a brook in early mornings and you are left with these amazing soft flowery carpet of notes! Cyclamen and freesia, lily of the valley..maybe some violet? elegance all over the place which almost moves me. Never happened with a perfume! It's an experience! after many hours you are left with woody-musky notes which stick to your skin. you could call it mainstream, boring, nothing new but it's perfect. can't argue that! Ok so this comes only in edt and luckily so, edp wouldn't make sense for such a light scent. Nevertheless when you spry it you can see the oil on your skin which makes me thing, since the dont have edp, that the have increased the concentration. On me it lasts days! I love it, I can't explain how much! It's art deco, bourgeois french tea garden. You continuosly get these splashes of notes which you can really split every time you move your body. People will always feel you are around without being intrusive. I am a 27 year old guy, I work in contact with a lot of people and whit this you just get compliments, can't go wrong, it's pleasing everybody! I don't see it too feminine, anybody could make a good use of it! any age. Chapeau!

Good god I am OBSESSED with this perfume!!!! This is one of my favorite scents OF ALL TIME, and I’ve tried surely thousands and thousands! I just LOVE the bitter greenness and the realistic dewy freshness of this. It smells just like REAL greens, swept away to a gorgeous secret garden in the city or town, enclosed in brick walls covered in ivy, shady and damp, slightly cool yet still warm at the same time inside, full of the LUSH scent of REAL fresh ivy and dewy ferns. You can even smell a bit of the soil and petrichor, just enough to make it real, but not so much to distract from the utter green freshness of the leaves. But this is NOT a calone, ozone, or aquatic fresh, no way. This is THE most natural, GREENEST freshie that is airy without being ozonic and truly feels refreshing and cool and damp and PERFECT for hot weather (but excellent any time of the year, truly). This is a complete and utter masterpiece that I CANNOT BELIEVE does not get more praise and hype! I can only think that must be because it’s rare and not too many people have tried it? Because if they had, they’d be singing its praises. This is THE BEST green scent I’ve EVER tried to date, and I first tried this one in 2018-still hasn’t been beat! Not even close! Probably one of the closest things I’ve had to a signature scent in that time too, even though I only just acquired an actual bottle very recently, I cherished my samples in the meantime and then later the memory of them, and this (along with a few other scents) is just one of the most *me* perfumes in addition to being one of my all time favorites and containing some of my all time favorite notes. It just feels one of the very few scents worthy of being called a signature for me, even though in reality I don’t think anyone would associate any one single perfume with me over an extended period of time because I just wear too many! Haha

I got this after falling in love with Lilyphea, and realizing I love the profile of dewy florals. It opens very green - I expected leafy green like Philosykos, but it’s a much more “juicy green pepper” sort of green. I understand the comparison. That vegetal greenness doesn’t last too long though, and fades to a watery floral musk. This reminds me of lily pads more than Lilyphea does! I find even though it’s light, it does have good staying power on my skin and clothes. On skin I can smell more of the watery florals, but on clothes some of the greenness sticks around. It really does smell like a magical fairy pond with morning dew on all of the pretty flowers and wet tree bark. Edit: this perfume CLINGS to clothes like crazy!! I thought it was light at first, but it’s definitely not. It’s a sneaky beast mode (at least on clothes). I sprayed this on my sweater (the one I throw on for my daily morning walk) and I can still smell it sooo strongly three days later. Even though it’s an edt I’d say it performs like a strong EDP on clothes. Also, I’d say this could work all year round. It’s light and dewy enough for spring and summer, but has enough of the cool wood/mossy/wet floral/warm ambergris vibe that it would work in the fall and winter too, if you need a break from the typical fall/winter scent profiles

Naturalistic perfume perfection from Diptyque. A hyper realistic botanical scent of having your face pressed close to the dirt; come spring and fresh rains. The sense of being entwined with the ancient vines of the deepest green ivy. Here it smells like rebirth, as though mother nature herself is greeting you back home again. If you like the green and natural genre, and the smell of untamed as they are plants (this is pure Ivy and Cyclamen!) Then I assure you - this scent will be a treat and one to treasure for you too. With the other reviews here...Yes, it IS linear, and in a way simple, but there is nothing wrong with that. Nothing at all. It simply does what it was developed to do and there is perfection and beauty in its simplicity, like the nature it captures. This is still, pure, simple and calming. However, it is also with such rich, great green grandure; it seems a hymn, a tribute to nature in a bottle too. I wouldn't ever be without this one in my collection. Brilliant longevity on me, and my partner, with moderate and intimate sillage. I adore it! This is my partners daily signature scent too, so of course that makes me love it even more. Personally, I love to layer it with Philosykos, to ramp up the green edge of things (one to try if you own both of these from this house).

Oh dear. Could someone buy this for me, like a bathtub-worth of it, and emerge me in it?! WONDERFUL. It's so wonderful, it's hard to express for me. I get the green, woodsy notes, but I also get the creamy musk and slightly sweet floral notes balanced with green pepper. This scent quenches your thirst, it's so airy and juicy, like the most refreshing water you could ever drink. It also strangely reminds me of fresh laundry that dried in the sunlight, that wonderful smell of the cotton that absorbed sunshine and summer wind, that's in the drydown. And that's on a warm day - this has the most beautiful scent leftover on your clothes I've ever experienced! SPRAY IT ON YOUR CLOTHES. You will see what I'm talking about when you smell your scarf/blouse/top the next day. Heaven! This is my signature scent, mixed with Prada Infusion d'Iris creates the most amazing fragrance to me. Now you know my secret recipe! It's such a divine blend, a wonderful scent for a 25+ year old, who wants to stay away from all of the sweet traps of vanilla-like mainstream smells or is looking for something else than 'fresh citrus'. It's sparkling, elegant, fresh and VERY memorable. I absolutely love it. (7)

EAU DE LIERRE smells so incredibly green and fresh but without smelling too much like a vegetable garden or sharp citrus notes. It is just like a green goodness, the smell of grass, trees, and leaves on a hot summer afternoon. The cyclamen gives it a nice floral tone in the heart notes but it is not a floral perfume. The floral note is peaking shyly through the green grass to remind us that there are beautiful flowers among the endless fields of green. Gorgeous summer scent! This is the third scent I try from Diptyque and all of them seem to share very natural, lovely and gentle qualities. The scent opens with lovely ivy, green pepper and woods combo. It is so green, gentle and pleasant to wear. It blends beautiful with the nature too and great on a hot summer day. In the heart notes the cyclamen provides very gentle floral accent. The composition remains very tender and romantic. The dry down brings very gentle woody green notes and soft musk. Beautiful green and fresh perfume for summer! I love it and definitely recommend. The longevity and sillage are medium but I still love it. (Overall score – 9/10)

An enchanting green scent with a fresh ivy leaf in the central role. There’s a crunchy earth note with a lot of spices in the dry down. I’m picking up pepper and fennel. I really enjoy realistic scents that don’t announce your arrival, and that’s exactly what Eau de Lierre does. I know there are longevity complaints on Fragrantica, but I’m getting several hours before Eau de Lierre fades. I consider that performance very good. This is an Eau de Toilette and behaves as such, and personally I have grown to love this limited EdT performance in my fragrance repertoire. I don’t always need beast mode. Diptyque is a reliable house that leans natural in everything they do. There are exceptions, but typically their compositions are easy to wear. They may be in the niche house, but they are always friendly and welcoming. It’s the smile that greets you at the front door. Edit: I read that at least one other person mentioned pepper, so I feel validated and know that it’s not just my weird sense of smell.

Initially, I had been wearing this on clothes instead of skin, and I find this makes a big difference in this fragrance and how it wears over time on me. I find on skin, it stays more milky green like when it is first sprayed as opposed to on clothes where it smelled woody. The perfumer is Fabrice Pellegrin, and I love all of his Diptyque creations. I really want Tam Dao EDP next as it is the most different of the ‘green’ genre fragrances in this line. I would say this is the same DNA, yet still distinct, as Philosykos, both photorealistic ‘green’ fragrances as many have said. Tam Dao is green with an Italian cypress note, which is my favourite scent and tree, but there is something more ‘Indonesian’ about it, so it is less photorealistic. At first, I was in between “ok” and “like”, but now that I discovered it on skin, I really love this, and I am so happy I bought it. Silage is decently prominent, and longevity is good. Surprised it is an EDT formulation. Gender-defying.

This is a very unique green scent. It's starts as fresh green vegetables: chopped romaine lettuce, celery, English cucumber, all damp with water. Then as it "settles" it goes into freshly cut up leaves and grass, again, soaked in cold water. It's very vegetal and astringent. It's a very watery scent. I don't want to say aquatic or marine, because that seems to imply a certain seawater type freshness in my mind. The water in this is literally like the cold lawn water on a bed of green grass. I know lawn water does not sound romantic, so let me take a moment to be idyllic and liken it to the smell of a fresh knoll of grass, dotted with stray wild flowers. At the bottom is a creek or stream filled with cold, clear, clean water. This is one of my favorite green scents. So realistic, and simplistic. The staying power, which is it's downfall, is not great. Lasts typically only 2 hours on me.

This is such a beautiful toilette, good longevity and wafts of this beautiful fresh, floral and slightly woody. It's so beautiful and an excellent blind buy. I went to Selfridges where they have a perfume stand, I tried so many perfumes, (luckily this had its name and notes on the smelling strip. On first spray can be quiet overwhelming and a little too strong, and the dry down is amazing! Very fresh ivy green type beautiful toilette, why on earth they've not done a perfume is beyond me. That is the only reason I have procrastinated on buying it as I like quiet potent smelling fragrances, needless to say (this lingers and you can smell in the most inoffensive fashion. It is definitely a blind buy perfume (that you'll appreciate and people in your company will too. I'm going to buy this today, after 24 hours and I can still smell this on the paper strip, smells gorgeous!

Someone please share the nose behind this MASTERPIECE because I’m dying to learn more about his/her/their other creations. It’s my #1 favourite by the house of Diptyque, even above L’eau Trois and other iconic blends from the Serge Kalouguine era. I truly enjoy this from the first second till its complete dry down. Don’t be fooled by the hyperrealistic green opening and the EDT label! The dry down has the most amazing and balanced woody accords - grounded by the gentle dusty scent of the earth, calmed by the lingering green notes, all accompanied by a very approachable musk. It lasts from morning till evening on myself - and it’s totally fine to overspray because this smells just so natural and transparent. On my sweater, it lasts more than a week!!! This is so underrated and I honestly can’t ask for more!!!

I think this Diptyque perfume is really underrated! My first experience with Eau de Lierre shocked me. I hadn't expected such a realistic scent of wet soil and cut grass and was impressed, amused, and perplexed all at the same time. On the blotter strip, the grassiness remained pretty strong even after 24h, but on me, it eventually dried down into this sweet and woody skin scent. The drydown smelt very similar to Chloe's Fleur de Parfum on me. I live in a tropical climate and thought this would not last very long but I was wrong. It clings onto your skin and you will be able to catch whiffs of it throughout the day. I eventually bought this secondhand off a seller who was gifted this and did not like the scent, but I foresee myself going through this fairly quickly and making continual repurchases!

I agree with everything teh said below. As someone in search of the perfect “earthy green” scent, this has become my signature scent. When you first spray this, to me, I imaging the inside of vines (thus the Ivy notes lol). It stays a green fragrance all the way through, although towards the end it turns sweeter - I would imagine that’s the musk coming out. If it is musk, it’s the best musk I’ve ever smelled. I am not a fan of green perfumes in the sense of heavy florals- I want to smell like the earth and the greenery. However the sweetness/musk at the end of the dry down is a perfect compliment to this otherwise green scent. Projection isn’t massive, but if I spray this on clothes/jackets or in my hair it literally lasts for weeks! Are there any other “green” scents from Dyptyque I should try?!

Eau de Lierre is a thing of beauty. I have been desperately searching for a green, earthy, melancholic floral ever since my one true love De Profundis got discontinued. I have tried many and none came close to how DP made me feel, until now. The floral aspect in Eau de Lierre is extremely subtle, and the scent profile is nowhere near as complex as DP, but it definitely scratches the itch, and it scratches it GOOD. It opens with ozone and green woodiness and eventually settles into crushed leaves and floral petals on a soft, damp soil. It evokes an abandoned, peaceful garden in a moonlight. Oh, to smell like a forest fairy in a land of sickly gourmands...

Summer in bottle. Freshly cut grass together with the way earth smells when it's heated up in hot summer day. Very special, very green, earthy and natural. Very comforting and "happy" perfume. Makes me think of lazy summer afternoons in countryside, sleeping on grass, sunbathing, the sun is shining, the grass and earth smells lovely, the air is fresh and warm. You sleep with your eyes shut and inhale and somehow feel the part of it - summer, lazyness, no worries, pure pleasure. Eau de lierre have captured it, it's very special. I don't even want to talk about notes, because they do not matter, only what feeling have they made is what matters.

This is a nice perfume, very strong green, ivy scent. I like to wear it mixed with Philosykos as it tends to tone down the strong ivy scent. Great for summer as it is refreshing and like most of the other Diptyque perfumes, does not give me a headache no matter how much I spray on. Very easy to wear if you like green perfumes. Update: the more I wear this perfume, the more I love it. It is so clean, watery and fresh that it makes me feel like I have just stepped out of the shower. Very pretty for every day of the year, I will have to buy the 100 ml bottle as I only have the 50 ml and I can see myself wearing this a lot.

I bought a sample of this first, and it took quite a few wears to decide if I liked it enough to buy a FB. At first I wasn't getting the ivy 'greeness' that many reveiwers mentioned, I got only the woody, musky notes. The more I wore it though, the more I liked it, and I began to notice the ivy, or rather the idea of ivy, not the sharp green of an actual leaf. I also noticed a 'grassy' feel, more like walking on wild meadow grass baking in the sun than on a well tended lawn. I've come to love this fragrance, and now have a FB. Longevity is decent on me, sillage is minimal.

I live in a tropical country and this scent gives off a photorealistic starfruit note! Which makes me smell “unique” but also familiar to people around me. My signature scent has been Lombre Dans Leau and I purchased Eau De Lierre as a scent for warmer weather as I find the blackberry drydown for Lombre EDT abit sweet and stuffy for summer. Eau De Lierre has a subtler green scent and the drydown for this one is an addictive clean-musky skin scent that can’t go wrong at anytime of the day. Performance wise it’s transient on the skin but lingers on clothes.

This is my phantom scent. Really!!!🌿 I spray this perfume on myself in the morning before work, (on skin, and a bit on my shirt) and it accompanies me all the way. Then later, just when I think I can't smell it anymore, and the scent completely disappeared, ...someone comes up and says how strong and good I smell. Like.... HOW??? I can't believe how much I love this scent. it's very green, very fresh, like a deep green garden, with lots of ivy, after a heavy rain at spring. This is my most realistic scent, ever. I bought it blindly, with no regrets. 🌿🩵

Supergreen! Like if you went out in the garden, tumbled around in the grass, and went inside and ate a cucumber. It might not be that exciting for some, but it smell really clean and natural. It is maybe the one scent I reach for the oftest, when I want to smell clean but not overwhelm anyone. As I am quite sensitive to smell myself, I am careful to use strong perfumes very sparingly, but this one needs a couple of sprays. I do not mind if you only smell it on me if you give me a hug. It is linear and comfortable, I think unisex. Im quite fond of it.
