As a complete fragrance fanatic, some of the most-spritzed perfumes in my collection are by Diptyque. The much-loved Philosykos, with its green, figgy notes, is a beauty editor favorite. And for evening, I love the draw of Eau Capitale’s mysterious rose and patchouli notes, one of the best long-lasting perfumes for a night out. In fact, they are probably two of my most-complimented scents from my fifty-plus-strong collection of perfumes (I told you I was a bit obsessed).
When I think about it, I don’t think I’ve met a Diptyque fragrance that I didn’t like—and that goes for the candles too, which I still buy myself now, even as a beauty editor. So when the news dropped that Diptyque was launching its latest fragrance, L’Eau Papier, its first since 2021, this month, I could not wait to try it. Anything new from Diptyque is enough to set any beauty ed’s heart rate skyrocketing.
