Essences Insensées Tiare

I ordered this from a sketchy site, and i was honestly scared that i was being scammed. Eaudeluxe is the only place that still sold this, and the reviews were mixed. Forcing myself to look at the bright side, i thought to myself: who would go out of their way to make a fake of an unpopular discontinued fragrance with a pretty uncommon/“complex” looking bottle? Surely the demand isnt big enough to warrant scammers producing fake versions of this fragrance. So i took the risk and ordered a bottle for about 100 euros. The delivery was very fast! It took them 3 days to deliver from new york to the netherlands. Very surprised. The Bottle is beautiful. I love bulb sprayers and i think i must be the only one.. yes theyre inconvenient but theyre so fun and i get less of an urge to overspray. I think what i received is real because it smells so good and not screechy or alcohol like. I also checked the batch code and it says it was produced in 2019, idk if that proves anything though The scent itself is amazing. Diptyque rarely disappoints me (except ilio) and neither does this. It smells like an actual Mediterranean coastal town with hints of creamy and soft white florals. The greenness is also very present. It smells like trees that have been scorching in the summer heat. Theres definitely something marine in here, but it doesnt overpower. Its just a light sea breeze. Theres also a TIIINY hint of sunscreen here, probably because the flowers are so creamy. In a typical diptyque fashion, this settles down into a powdery, old timey fragrance. Its extremely realistic smelling. It doesnt smell perfumey, but more like a recreation of an environment. Im pleased. I dont know what the performance is like yet, so i give it a 8/10. It can either go up or down

This is most pleasant from diptyque limited edition releases to my nose. A lot of people notice tiare flowers which I'm usually not so fund of so I stayed away from sampling this for a long time and I was so wrong to judge the book by it's cover. On my skin it's most delicious frangipani. Yellow, freshly blooming and salty. It has nothing to do with Kilian's LTWYF which is straight on suntan lotion scent. This is way different! I also get loads of neroli and honey hidden in the base mixed with vanilla and ambrette. It's an exquisite scent of luxury vacation in French Polynesia. Saltiness of frangipani gets softer after first 2 hours and this scent turns more warm and syrupy later on. Somehow it keeps that green(ish) vibe to it till the end which I'm pretty sure is the neroli's doing. Longevity is 8 1/2 hours on me and remains pretty solid no matter if it's warm or cold outside. It's more feminine scent rather than being unisex. The down side of the limited editions, as mentioned before, are the sprayers. They just don't seem to pick up any product nor disperse it evenly ont he skin. I simply decanted mine into travel atomizer and it works wonders. Bottle design for this edition on the other hand is absolutely collection worthy.

This perfume is lovely. A nice mix of floral, pink pepper, and vanilla. The vanilla is not overwhelming. I accidentally purchased a sample of this thinking I was purchasing the original 34. I was so pleased with this that I looked it up to maybe purchase a bottle. It is $250 for 100ml. Not sure why it’s not being sold in a smaller bottle. I picked up some more samples to enjoy. There are many other fragrances comparable to this one for much less.

I normally avoid green scents, but this is soft and silky and spiced rather than sharp. I love tropical florals for summer, but for me this is more of a winter scent due to the plush spices. I’m in love but the price is prohibitive. ETA: I swear this wears differently depending on weather. Amazing salty summer tiare. The opening is more tiare while the drydown is more unlisted salt/ambergris. Not heady, perfect for heat and humidity

Beautiful tiare with a subtle and smooth vanilla base. Love this year round for a quick pick me up. Wears as a skin scent but lasts fairly long. Have had no issues with the bulb atomizer and the bottle is truly gorgeous.
