Oyedo Eau de Toilette

Best smelling fragrance. It’s Spring / Summer here in San Diego. There is no other fragrance you’d need. 100ml bottle for the season and I’m set! I’ve only discovered this fragrance this year and already purchased a full retail bottle. It’s THAT good. Hard to believe it was developed in 2000. This thing was ahead of its time. I remember my first first first impression of this fragrance was “orange sherbet 50-50 crème bar”. After multiple wears, my take on this fragrance is that’s it’s a safe blind-buy for its category. 4 different citruses on top of Raspberry , Thyme and Woods. Nothing experimental about that! !!!!! ***(Raspberry is an official note on the Diptyque website that is not mentioned on Fragrantica)*** !!!! There is nothing floral, fruity, spicy, or gourmand about this thing. Attention -grabbing citrus with juicy raspberry. I’ve already purchased a Travalo travel- atomizer so I can take this fragrance everywhere! Lasts decently long. Maybe 3 hours on skin and 5 hours on clothes. Still pretty good for a citrus-bomb of such premiere quality! This thing PROJECTS heavy in the first 2 hours. People WILL smell you if you apply this properly. Not only does it smell phenomenal, the ingredients just make you feel good. Depending where you live, I can confirm no one is wearing this! I only discovered this because there is a Diptyque store in UTC San Diego that I happened to walk by. I tested this fragrance. Then came back the following week for a full bottle. This is the second time in my 5 years of fragrance where a scent has captivated me so much that I have to immediately seek a full bottle. I’d recommend this fragrance for: Spring/ Summer West Coast vibes Reliable and consistent daily driver fragrance Blind buy and safe fragrance Those who need to make a vibrant impression Better than Creed Aventus Better than Roja Elysium Better than TF Neroli Portofino Better than PDM Layton Better than Kilian Sun-kissed Goddess

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!

Yuzu mandarin raspberry thyme incense Oyedo is in my eyes a citrus anomaly, a forgotten due to the immense level of ignorance in today’s fragrance market that will readily accept x Creed mishmash citrus musky accord for triple the price but will disregard something actually different. Starting up top at full display, tart sulphuric yuzu and green juicy slightly bitter mandarin, almost satsuma like. Intensely fresh and stimulating. Just as the citrus normally fades, further facets develop, a sweet fruity raspberry, dry herbal thyme, cool mentholated elements, and in the very back, a ever so slight smoky woody incense touch. Even more impressive than the scent itself is the structure of the scent. While we usually expect a high treble like effect of citrus shimmering for a few seconds before paving the way to other base components, vetiver oakmoss or something along those lines, Akiko Kamei, genius creator of the current formula of Caron 3e Homme (probably the most impressive retro fougere of all time), found a way to balance all of the aforementioned elements to create the illusion of citrus as the core of the fragrance. It's recognizably citrus all throughout its course without ever leaving the overall ballpark of bright mandarin refreshment.

I’m just baffled by all the negative reviews of this gorgeous, herby, zingy, fizzy, elegant and uplifting gem. I also don’t think I’m picking up the same notes most reviews mention. I can’t pick up the frambinone, so that might be a molecular I’m anosmic to. I also don’t get anything sweet or candy-like. All I smell are the fizzy yuzu (if you’ve never eaten it, you should, especially with sushi) and tonic, aromatic thyme with maybe cedarwood anchoring it. Lemon and thyme are a classic culinary pairing and, again, I definitely recommend eating or drinking it. Thyme in lemonade is just delicious. I also get a bit of juicy mandarin here and there, and lemon juice, not rind, holding everything together. So, yeah, if we’re staying with the edible associations, this reads to me more like a savory gourmand than a cough drop. At the end of the day I find this sophisticated and dazzling. If you really hate your bottle, feel free to send it my way because this is a hot, dry summer daytime ride-or-die for me.

You have to be a true and devoted citrus lover to enjoy Oyedo. It has the most fizzy, zesty, juicy, realistic citrus opening that I almost want to drink it! A bit of peppery sharpness to the nose in the opening, but I love that! When I spray it on myself, it's as if one person is spraying me down with fresh lemon spa water while another person squeezes fresh lemon halves close to my nose. It's as close to bathing in lemon as you can get (if you're into that - I am!) If you've ever juiced a lemon and those oils and juices wafted up to your nose and made your eyes roll back in your head, and wished you could bottle and wear that moment, THAT'S OYEDO. Although Diptyque products are not cheap, I think you get what you pay for because this one has really good longevity for a citrus frag, and probably the best longevity of all the citrus frags I've owned. I could still smell it on me HOURS later. Of course the top notes had faded, but the fragrance was still there and in good concentration. Unisex 100%.

I absolutely love this! This is a sweet kind of citrus - one that I don't come across often - and again, it's spot on! I'm hesitant between Oyédo and Eau des Sens. Maybe I ought to get both. Oyédo is a sweeter interpretation of citrus, whilst Eau des Sens is a citrus/lemon bomb that pierces the nose (in a good and extremely refreshing way) similar to l'Eau d'Issey pour Homme. Here's what Diptyque says about Oyédo: 'An imperial fragrance. Oyédo: a name that signifies the spicy vivacity of the zest of yuzu, an Asian citrus fruit. At the heart of this eau de toilette, the full elegance of citrus emerges in an accord highlighted by raspberry and thyme. A perfume inspired by Japan's ancient imperial city, Edo.' And yes, I can smell the raspberry in there. Fragrantica is, again, missing an important note here. Raspberry is what differentiates Oyédo from Eau des Sens. This one is Mandarin Orange kind of sweet whilst the other has nothing sweet in it. I love both.

Oyédo smells like someone took a basket of freshly peeled yuzu and mandarins, then accidentally dropped a handful of lemon candies into it and decided it was an improvement. The opening is sparkling, juicy and almost ridiculously cheerful. It’s citrus, but not the stern, cologne kind. This is citrus with a sweet tooth. The candy facet keeps it playful without turning it into a sugary mess. What surprises me most is the cooling effect. Every time I wear it on my wrists, it feels like a tiny citrus breeze is blowing over my skin. On a hot day, it’s practically aromatherapy for people who wish air conditioning came in perfume form. Performance isn’t nuclear, but that’s part of the charm. Oyédo doesn’t enter a room before you do. It simply follows you around like a polite, well dressed cloud of candied citrus. If sunshine came wrapped in cellophane and sold at an upscale Parisian boutique, it would probably smell a lot like this.

I am very surprised by how unique this smells, especially from a house I don't really prefer. This is an excellent take on a bright tangy citrus with candied undertones, with a sprinkle of raspberry transitioning into a minty slightly herbal slightly woody musky base. However, unlike other candied citruses, this one skips the typical 'fundip' like cloyingly sweet fizzy tones of something like Atelier Cologne Pomelo Paradis for a tart fresh herbal base that reminds of something between fruity berry lozenges and tart lemon drops. Very nice, refreshing, with good longevity (about 6 hours on my skin), It actually slightly reminds me of l'Artisan Parfumeur Mure et Musc without any of the soapiness only in the way it contains a tart fruity heart note that feels very close to the thin tart scent of an actual raspberry. Excellent, one of my new favorite citruses, a great candle scent too.

Wow, so unique yet familiar! Some reviewers below compare the smell to crushed orange Pez candy, and they're right. There is indeed a slightly powdery quality to it, but it doesn't define the whole fragrance (I usually can't stand powdery scents). When smelled up close (nose against sprayed clothes or skin) it smells exactly like a menthol-orange cough drop. At first the citrus are totally unisex but after 30 mins or so, the Pez candy and menthol cough drop vibes disappear and the fragrance turns more feminine and reminds me of an orange bar soap. All in all, it's great but it lacks a certain personality or quality. Oyédo is very linear and simple. I wish it was more aromatic, or had mint or soft woods added to it, to make it a bit more complex and "wearable". I'll definitely wear it from time to time, but alone at home for my own pleasure.

Oyedo has become more than just a fragrance for me—it’s like a retreat in a bottle. From the moment I first tried it, I felt an immediate connection. The scent lingers, lasting well beyond the hours I’d expect, and it feels as if it’s become a part of my daily rhythm. There’s a certain meditative quality to Oyedo that resonates deeply with me. The citrus notes are bright yet soothing, striking a balance that mirrors the calm energy I aim for in my yoga and meditation practices. It’s not overpowering, but it’s there, like a gentle reminder to breathe and stay present. What I love most is how it aligns with my lifestyle. Whether I’m moving through the day’s demands or finding stillness on my mat, Oyedo feels right. It’s attractive, yes, but it’s also grounding, creating a sense of calm that I carry with me.

This is an absolutely GORGEOUS scent, like fizzy lemonade and super refreshing on a hot day. It has the feel of mint or menthol as you apply to your skin, it's cooling and pleasant. I will always want a bottle of this in my collection and it's one of the best lemon freshies out there. Nothing too sweet or cloying about this. I find it pairs well with a little spritz of Guerlain's Bergamote Fantastico from the A&M Extrait line, it makes it last a lot longer. I also wish it lasted longer, but this is an EDT, and a freshie, so understandable it's short lived as those top notes are so volatile. There's an advantage to that though - because you can have this as a morning scent, then switch up to something else by the afternoon. Super long lasting isn't always what's required, if what you fancy is a change.

Maybe it’s because I have a large collection, but I love Oyedo, and I’m secretly happy it’s not more popular. Why? Because when I wear it, there’s a good chance no one else will be. Ok, so first things first: it’s a totally strange scent. A complete weirdo. Surprisingly this oddball is also really easy to wear, and that makes it charming. I understand the mentholated comments, I get that too, right after the most realistic, fizzy citrus (mandarin orange) opening I’ve ever encountered in a perfume. The other two notes that play supporting roles are Yuzu and thyme. Both feel natural and blended well. This freaky sister dries down into a woody herbal base, so I get three stages of distinct development. It’s unique, it’s fun, and it’s a little strange. All good descriptors in my perfume playbook.

You will be taken away to a place of pure bliss , cause the finest fragrance lines and the perfect balance of the floral and woodsy notes has lead you me definitely to an unforgettable journey. This high-quality niche perfume has become my a must-have, cause the heavenly petals in mid notes speaks to my heart. It gives me the urge to explore my inner self and find hidden treasures in my world of emotions with this other-worldly scent. Whenever I sniff on it, it gives me the impression even stronger, that this might be one of the finest high-end perfumes out there. It is a masterful blend of sweet and spicy that will take you on a long-lasting and memorable journey with every use. A perfect balance of two opposing but complimentary scents that will make any day just a little bit better.

The smell of the Yuzu bark, as bright as Bergamote, rose on the skin in the sweltering sun. Adding sweetness in the midst of the pungent smell - the very artificial of the Orange Soda effect. Then, sniffing the details of Orange Soda, you can see the green smell of Yuzu Bark, the slightly musty smell and the woody wood like branches and leaves. When the thirst is over, sit calmly to enjoy each scent change, then you will find that this scent very "Avant-garde" After about 30 minutes on the skin, when you see all the details of the scent appear together with all the Citrus, Rosemary, Leaf and Wood of the tree, and more. Another weird effect that Diptyque reminds you of is the smell of Raspberry, literally an effective, weird yet lovely vibe!

I absolutely adore this fragrance. The first time I smelled it in a store, I fell in love. It is all I want from a summer fragrance. It is citrusy/fresh, sweet, and aromatic. It smells like those PEZ candies or a citrus/raspberry ice tea (like not tea, like black tea, just those bags of dried fruits). It is my go-to summer fragrance, and I love it. Yuzu, Raspberry, and Thyme, what a combo. The only thing that holds it back is the performance. I get like 4/5 hours with 2 hours of good projection, and the rest is skin scent. But let's be honestly, in the summer you should be showering a lot. Spending some time at the lake or the sea, so something with this longevity is fine. And for like 120 euros where I live is very much worth it.

So good! An excellent fragrance, the best yuzu I have tried. It is very concentrated at the beginning, with a great realistic and natural yuzu that is both refreshing and elegant. It has also strong mint and herbs which provide depth and richness. After a while the thyme is taking center stage which is making everything smell divine, together with woods in the background that are almost oud like but very light. The thyme is the best aspect of this perfume. *According to Diptyque there is also Raspberry in this, as the olifactory accident note! Also: Madonna wears this (as well as Portrait of a Lady).

I LOVE this! I received a sample with my beautyhabit order and can't believe it has taken me THIS long to find this beauty! I read someone stated that it smells like cough drops. I can say that on my skin at least it smells NOTHING like cough drops. The strong Yuzu ensures that can't be a possibility but to each their own... This smells like the best most sweet and strong citrus I think I have ever smelled. That is saying a lot since I collect perfumes and thought I had already purchased all of the best citrus frags. This one REALLY lasts. It also projects well. Very nice and can't wait to get FB.

Wow, so fresh! Very citrusy. It has this very cool almost minty coolness. I don't think I have smelled anything like this before. Someone called the thyme weird, I like the bitter something it gives. But it smells like something that some might think is "too strange". I like it, especially in the drydown on my skin. It is very fresh, absolutely something you have to smell. But probably should get a sample and not blind buy this. Very unique, very fresh. It is unisex, and even though most seem to think it leans feminine, I think it could work perfectly fine on a man.

bought this as a blind buy after i found it for a great discounted price, and decided to go through with it since i read that it was a citrusy fragrance. upon initial spray, it’s a purely citrus BOMB. delicious and fresh, i imagine it smelling as if you were outside sitting beneath a tree on a warm sunny day in Italy eating an orange/lemon. soooooo pretty. as it settles it starts to form a more candied citrus smell, almost powdery. so glad i bought this as we’re getting near to spring! also, this reminds me of sour patch kids LOL!

Got this instead of L’eau des Hesperides which was out of stock. Really love this one. The variety of citrusy scents combined with the thyme made it feel minty to me and made me love it even more. The base wood notes is okay too. If you want more zest out of this beautiful perfume, try layering with By Kilian Lemon in Zest. Edit. A wonderful surprise, after 12hrs I can still sort of smell the mandarin making cameo appearances without having to bend down to sniff at my sleeves. That’s really a first for Diptyque EDT for me.
