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.

Bracing + fabulous. Smells like the peel, I had a first grader make the same observation. “Fizzy” from the pros list is so apt. As for the cons, it’s like you either like mentholated citrus or you don't. Me personally, I LOVE the bitter yuzu peel with camphorous thyme. I LOOOVE the sweet unsweet candyish smell. This the #1 citrus fragrance in my heart. This is how it feels for a citrus to be robust. I smell it and I'm like "God DAMN!!!!"

The citrus of the top notes is astonishing. Very autentical and fresh, but transforming into the middle tones gives it sparkling attraction. For me it is very similar to L'eau des Hesperides, but less green. Wood in the base is also a hint that adds dimension to the fragrance but doesn't ground it. This perfume is a caress, gentle natural scent. Far from other cosmopolitan perfumes... Sillage: moderate. Longevity about 2-3hrs.

smelled this once in an airport duty free and fell in love. didn’t buy it straight away but regretted it as i couldn’t stop thinking about it. i’m a big fan of citrus, and this smelled like a combination of freshly poured orange and yuzu juice. initially it starts off with a very slight bitterness but dries down into a yummy sweet scent. love it so much! i wish they had an edp though, it’s not very long lasting

A tingling, refreshing, camphorous yuzu perfume! It’s fresh and aromatic and herbaceous. The green makes me think of mint and cough drops but the yuzu is bright and sweet and tangy! I love it. It’s not a generic perfume that’s sweet and fruity. It’s different. Smells like a summer time apothecary in the best way. Definitely not for everyone (not a safe blind buy).

one of my favorites :3 though many people say it's a childish scent, or they use it in spring/summer, i actually like to use this around fall and winter. there's a slight bitterness to it that, to me, makes me feel more mature and put together! this may be due to the fact i don't have any "mature" scents, but i definitely love this ^_^

I love this scent so much, it's a mood booster and smells almost fizzy like a yuzu-raspberry sparkly soda. On me, it doesn't dry down to smell like candy but rather like I ran through a raspberry and citrus grove. I think the thyme note grounds the scent and adds an interesting herbal quality that supplies an intrigue and maturity.

I Love this scent! It's an awakening. Definitely strong citrus open and an amazing longevity. The dry down on skin is certainly unique with the thyme note, it's quite strange at first, but intense and aromatic. I can see why it's not for everyone, but more niche. The dry down on clothes is a fantastic to me, sweet and juicy.

A lovely warm citrus. I usually don’t like yuzu (I though it’s too much use in food), but here I immediately fall in love. This perfume is a warm citrus without sugar. Sweet and very joyful. I enjoyed wear this in summer. The longevity was 3-4 hours, generally like over citrus perfume in my skin).

I love this scent . There is kinda a balance in here which you get on initial first spray . If you use this fume sparingly in the beginning it will age to a fine wine and you will have the initial first spray for the entire life of the cologne.

My favorite diptyque. Much more interesting to me than any other offering from them. But understated at the same time. I love perfumes like this, that are a bit bizarre but also quiet & do not demand attention.

A big ol’ glass of freshly squeezed orange juice. Sweet and tangy. Perfect for the hot Aussie summer. Perhaps unsurprisingly for a citrus EDT, it doesn’t last very long on skin but will go 6+ hours on clothes.

Smells divine. The yuzu and effervescence from the lemon lime make this a summer freshie. The woods and thyme make this have depth. This is a light, happy, sunshine scent. Love this beautiful creation.

This captures the smell of cutting into an extremely juicy yuzu/mandarin orange when the juices splatter everywhere around you. It's so realistic that it makes my mouth water.

Exactly the same scent of Muji's essential oil called 'Yuzu' :)))) I love it, it is lightly citrusy, zesty, calming, and a bit cozy but not too sharp like orange/lemon/lime

First impression: This is fresh citrus after heavy rainfall. It's almost like if you went out into the lemon groves right after the heavy rain subsides.

My new favourite perfume! It's sweet and makes me feel happy! Reminds me of my previous favourite, Taj Sunset, which was discontinued by Escada.

Sundazed's mellower older cousin who likes to garden. Since Sundazed is no more, I'll be recommending this one to people who miss it like I do.

This is one of my go-to summer fragrances. An immediate love. Light, fresh, citrus. Nothing offensive to my nose. I absolutely adore it.

I quite like it. Perhaps love it. Bought a full bottle. It’s a clean woody citrus with a green touch. Does have a Japanese feel.

smells like citrusy toothpaste. (in a good way!) very minty, fresh, cool, and sweet. very perfect for the summer time!

Its longevity is kinda weak but I really like its scent that makes me happy

I love citrus generally. Oyedo is very refreshing and delightful.

I love this fragrance to death, i wish i could drink it.

甜甜的柑橘泡泡糖(前味) 快樂氣味 想一直聞 美好的味道 想收

You know the way that, as a child, random household objects somehow become your playthings? This was the case for me with a particular soapbox — which is to say, not a dramatic tirade, but a literal sturdy cardboard box that once contained a bar of soap. The box was the kind that slid out, with an elegant loop of orange ribbon to tug on to open it; it was a pale yellow, with an eclipse of an orange drawn on the side. I put beads and little animal figurines and tiny homemade dolls in there. I strung plastic beads on elastic and created a family of little toy beaded snakes, and they lived in the soap box. The thing I liked most about the box was the way it smelled. Even decades after holding any soap, the box holds a trace of effervescent citrus. It's a bright yellow-orange sort of smell, all bubbles and sunshine and laughter. Despite the orange on the side of the box, I recognize that lasting note now as yuzu. Looking back, I suspect that soap box shaped my early interest in fragrance. Oyedo reminds me of that box. I actually had a dream about the box a few days ago, and took it as a sign to review Oyedo. This is that same exact soapy, sunshiney yuzu in a vial. If you don't know what yuzu smells like, imagine the brightest, bubbliest imaginable citrus. It's clean, bright, and elevating, more than any orange, lemon, or lime. It's more yellow than a lemon, and lacks the sour tang. Instead, there's a crisp, uplifting brightness to it. The yuzu really shines in Oyedo, with the various other citrus notes supporting it and keeping that big yellow hot air balloon tied to earth. The earth in question is a field of thyme with a soapmaker's cottage in the middle. This is soapy like an incredibly high-quality bar of French-milled hand soap. It's very clean and bright, but not like something meant for laundry or cleaning a bathroom. It's a joyous bar of soap that makes you stop to sniff. The thyme provides a grounding herbal nuance that brings out the sweet contrast of the citrus. Nonetheless, I find that something about the thyme feels a bit odd and out of place as time goes on and the citrus fades away. Fellow anti-cilantro people, you know what I mean: a certain faint stink some herbs have, elusive to describe, that just doesn't feel quite correct. It's a little like the feeling of accidentally spilling pizza seasoning into your orange soda: something here doesn't belong. In a safe, sweet soap, something feels ambiguously grubby. Something in the herbal notes feels dense, heavy, and grounded the way coffee grounds do, with coarse texture that says "this used to smell like something". I might just be imagining it, or it might be my skin or my sample, but it feels a little off to me when I lose focus and Oyedo drifts under my nose. That discordance is subtle, though, and my experience of it is subjective. Overall, the thyme does lend pleasant depth to what would otherwise be a one-dimensional citrus scent. As it were, Oyedo is fairly linear, with the citruses bowing out and leaving a confused dash of thyme in their midst. In three hours, the scent is all but gone. This is too faint, too ephemeral, too linearly clean for my tastes, but I enjoyed the uplifting nature of the yuzu and the happy sensory memories it brings back. If you don't mind the weak projection, sillage, and longevity, and want a fresh, soapy citrus that makes you smile, give Oyedo a try.

If you are looking for a citrus fragrance that breaks the mold of the "classic cologne", Oyedo by Diptyque (launched in 2000 and signed by the nose Akiko Kamei) is a splendid anomaly that deserves to be discovered. The name itself is a tribute to Edo, the ancient name of Tokyo, and the Asian inspiration can be felt from the first spray. Freshly vaporized, Oyedo is an explosion of pure energy. It's not your typical pungent or sour lemon; the inclusion of Yuzu (a Japanese citrus fruit with sour but incredibly aromatic nuances) and Mandarin creates a juicy, almost sugary effect. Many enthusiasts describe this opening as smelling like a homemade tangerine candy or a refreshing fizzy drink. It's cheerful, bright and decidedly summery. It is in the heart that the magic happens that distinguishes Oyedo from a simple "lemon perfume". When the initial shock settles, the Thyme emerges. This green, aromatic note contrasts the sweetness of the citrus, giving the fragrance a more mature, slightly balsamic and pleasantly medicinal/herbaceous structure. In the finish, the perfume warms up and sits on a bed of clean and discreet Forest Notes. The base is not heavy, but serves to give persistence to the citrus fruits, leaving a clean sensation on the skin, like a linen shirt dried in the sun. Citrus fruits and thyme lean neither towards the typically masculine nor towards the feminine. It is at its best in the heat, offering an immediate boost of freshness. Being a citrus Eau de Toilette it doesn't last all day, but it holds up well (about 4-5 hours on the skin, more on clothes). It stands out in the first 30 minutes, then becomes a "skin" scent, perfect for those who don't like invasive fragrances. I recommend it: To those who love fresh perfumes but are looking for something original. If you like fragrances that smell clean, of crushed citrus peel and that have a nostalgic and sparkling touch, Oyedo is a small masterpiece of artistic perfumery.

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.

This is my second "orange smell liked' fragrance in my pocket. I remember when I first tasting it in Diptyque store, I was not really into it. But after I fall into Eau Des Sens, I wonder to try Oyedo, wanna know how it is. Second trial and after the third trial.... and the last trial was in winter time - the Chinese Lunar New Year, I noticed that this fragrance is not design for cold weather, still the smell makes me unforgettable, feel like very fresh and oriental-like, and really like that Chinese Chenpi (tangerine peel), just very fresh and fruity. Great to have it during summer time, you will feel the freshness and coolness right after you have sprayed on your skin. Love it. Again, if you like fruity, fresh, and special, most important Japanese, Chinese or Oriental-liked, you can't miss it. 一支非常「東方感」的香水。這是我第二支柑橘及橙味為主調的Diptyque 香水。雖然這一支比感官之水更早面世,但我卻是經歷很多次體驗才決定買。東京柑橘之水我考慮了極長時間,因為我覺得自己已經有感官之水,相同的味調實在毋須要再擁有。經過多次試噴,包括在試紙、身上,又經歷過不是太想擁有去到很想擁有的階段..... 真的經歷很久,最後因為好奇心,買了。 東京柑橘之水很清新,雖然我最後一次的感覺停留在冬天,那是農曆大年初三,今次噴了試紙又噴在手臂上,感覺很持久,很清新,就像新年要有新氣象的感覺。那種陳皮/ 果皮的水果感覺,很特別。到最近才買、才試,是因為我有感官之水了,至今我終於能夠辨別起來,感官之水很「神」的感覺,橙花的基調較突出;而東京之水就是東方感和水果格調較突出,再者噴上皮膚後,在炎夏中你會感到即的清涼感,很舒服。

I was gifted this by a lovely friend. With this perfume, you're hit by the candied lemon and mandarin at first. Then there's a raspberry thyme note that follows as it settles. I found this to be too sweet for me, almost sugary when it was dried down. I didn't realise this contained yuzu as it was hard to detect...(definitely needed more yuzu). The thyme was actually my favourite part of this perfume. I can see why people would think this lends towards a cough-drop sort of smell because of it. I wished for it to be a bit more complex; green or tea notes would probably compliment this profile really well. Also I didn't expect much in terms of longetivity as it's an EDT but man is it short lived! Only lasts 1-2 hours on my skin. On clothes it lingers for a tad bit more. It's not a bad perfume by any means but a bit basic for my taste !

Yuzu gin and tonic with a splash of mandarin juice. Has a bright & fizzy, sour, nearly bitter (thyme-y?) hard candy quality to the opening, so I can understand the comparison to cough drops, Smarties, or even Altoids Sours. The level of sweetness (mostly from the dewy mandarin towards the tail end of the top notes) is very light and proportional to what you'd expect to get out of the real fruits. Honestly delightful, energetic, and unique. Tragically, and as is the case with many citrus top-heavy fragrances, this lasts a mere 15 minutes on my skin, clothes, hair, furniture, anything. Clean or dirty, dry or moisturized, sprayed from up close or afar, in hot or cold weather- nothing can save this from performing about as well as 4711 cologne. Which, at $100-150 per bottle, is probably too masochistic to entertain for most.
