Diptyque Orphéon Eau de Parfum

Orphéon Eau de Parfum by Diptyque is a nostalgic, elegant tribute to the lively spirit of 1960s Paris—specifically, to the creative energy and bohemian charm of the Saint-Germain district. Launched in 2021 and composed by perfumer Olivier Pescheux, this unisex fragrance captures the soul of Orphéon, a beloved bar where Diptyque’s founders gathered to drink, laugh, and dream late into the night.

This scent is a freeze-frame of that golden era: smoke curling through the air, jazz playing softly in the background, makeup powder lingering on the skin, and polished wood steeped in conversations of art and ideas. Orphéon is less about the literal and more about atmosphere—intimate, warm, and effortlessly stylish.

Juniper berries lead the composition with a bright, gin-like freshness that immediately evokes the clink of cocktails and a vibrant nightlife energy. The heart softens into delicate jasmine, adding a subtle floral note that feels like a trace of perfume left behind on a silk scarf. As it settles, powdery notes and tonka bean unfold against a backdrop of smooth cedar, creating a rich, velvety warmth that wraps around the skin like a soft memory.

Orphéon is timeless yet modern, smoky yet clean—perfect for those who love understated elegance and scent stories that transport. It's a fragrant homage to friendships, freedom, and the creative pulse of a city that never sleeps.
