Diptyque Day 5 This one holds memories. Diptyque launched Orpheon as part of its celebration of its 60th anniversary. It was/is an honor to the bar by the name that was located near Diptyque's headquarters in the 1960s, where the three co-founders were said to meet often to discuss the brand they started. Memories. Spring 2021 - most states (including mine) were still under stay-at-home orders. I was caught by surprise when Diptyque reached out to see if I was interested in taking part in an online masterclass for Orpheon. I said 'yes'. And so began my adventures,and memories, with Orpheon. Orpheon is a mix of clean, powdery and earthy/woody, but not in the traditional way those scent families manifest themselves. At least on me they're not. It starts off with a clean, with ever-so-subtle resinous note of ... evergreens, maybe? It reminds me more of a man's aftershave (in a good way) than a fresh, foresty winter wonderland "clean". The powdery notes are subtle and delicate. Then there's a soft smokiness that weaves itself in and out and mixes well with the other notes. Oftentimes I find smokier scents can overwhelm other notes in a fragrance but that is not the case here. Though it feels more like a skin scent on me, it is very long lasting. I had it on for 12+ hours and while the notes that I pick up vary during that time period, they're there. Fragrances wear differently on everyone depending on skin chemistry and this is definitely true of Orpheon. I've heard that people are either definite fans of this perfume, or are definitely not fans. I'm in the former group and really enjoy this fragrance. Very happy to see it in the advent calendar.

It's a good thing you were able to dodge that blind buy @Titian06. Those are super cute sucks!
