Eau d'Elide

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.

All I can say is OMG! I was lucky enough to procure a bottle off of ebay. The opening is fresh and bright. It quickly turns to a sweet creamy vanilla orange. Reminds me of a sweet smoother creamy Oyedo. Simply beautiful!

Very nice fragrance from Diptyque... fresh and very summery... Out of production...very bad news from the Maison

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

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.
