Eau des Sens is a whole orange tree in bloom. And it's the first orange blossom I try that feels whole. Many perfumes feel very sweet, kind of synthetic, or very indolic. There's a moment for everything but I appreciate the naturalness that emanates from this wonderful Diptyque. The opening feels hot, just what the reviewer below mentioned. Spot on! Petitgrain and Angelica provide a soft focus bitter effect that provides dimension. You're in a orange grove, it's late summer but the heat hasn't subsided yet. It's midday and as the scorching sun makes your vision blurry you suddenly catch the smell of the trees in front of you. The wood, the bitter green leaves, the sticky sap on your fingers, the sweet smell of the flowers above. You close your eyes and you feel you are the tree. As the fragrance evolves, you climb higher on said tree. You reach the blossoms that are releasing their sweet nectar filling the air. You see that the sun is starting to set, and the heat starts to subside, but just enough to let the flowers bloom. You reach for them and you feel how the scent fills your nose. Sweet nectar. The base brings the whole of the tree. You reach the top and you look around you. Clear skies, the smell of various trees ahead, the soil that surrounds you. You smell everything at once, and then you keep catching glimpses of the various stages. I sprayed it on me 5 hours ago, and right now I'm getting the most glorious whiffs of orange blossom, just like traditional Lebanese orange blossom water. Glorious! Excellent sillage, and so far very good longevity. A different direction for Diptyque but a very very good one!
