Eau de Lierre Diptyque for women

Diptyque EAU DE LIERRE is a crunchy floral green with true unisex appeal. Among the dominant notes appear to be both hyacinth and lily of the valley. There's a significant amount of brownish grassiness here—as in the grass is becoming dry without quite being dead yet. EAU DE LIERRE is definitely greenish, but there's not much overlap here with übergreens such as MA GRIFFE or FUTUR. The overall effect is clean but in a back-to-nature not a fresh-from-the-shower way. I like it.

Although some floral greens (read Gucci ENVY) grate on my nerves as their all-too-synthetic renditions of lily of the valley expand to the point of near suffocation, here the notes all seem very natural and do not grow like the blob over time. EAU DE LIERRE is a gentler, calmer floral green. Perfect for warm weather!

Eau de Lierre has similarity with Les Colognes Hermes Eau de Gentiane Blanche. But the Gentiane Blanche is smelled bitter and stronger than Eau de Lierre.

This fragrance turns out to be a wonderful alternative to CK's "Truth" for men, appearing more natural but as equally fresh.

This observation, however, raises the question whether Diptyque have problems with the sexes: Most of their fragrences are declared as uni-sex, but really I wouldn't recommend "Tam Dao" for women, or "Duelle" for men. This one is declared as women's perfume, but in fact happens to be uni-sex.

Conclusion: Lierre is recommended for both sexes, but for men it's a true winner.

Incredibly natural vegetation by a river type scent, a day out in fresh air in the country bottled.. sadly (and especially so given the £68 price tag) it barely lasted an hour! Money never evaporated so nicely or so quick.

EAU DE LIERRE smells so incredibly green and fresh but without smelling too much like a vegetable garden or sharp citrus notes. It is just like a green goodness, the smell of grass, trees, and leaves on a hot summer afternoon. The cyclamen gives it a nice floral tone in the heart notes but it is not a floral perfume. The floral note is peaking shyly through the green grass to remind us that there are beautiful flowers among the endless fields of green. Gorgeous summer scent! This is the third scent I try from Diptyque and all of them seem to share very natural, lovely and gentle qualities.

The scent opens with lovely ivy, green pepper and woods combo. It is so green, gentle and pleasant to wear. It blends beautiful with the nature too and great on a hot summer day. In the heart notes the cyclamen provides very gentle floral accent. The composition remains very tender and romantic. The dry down brings very gentle woody green notes and soft musk.

Beautiful green and fresh perfume for summer! I love it and definitely recommend. The longevity and sillage are medium but I still love it. (Overall score – 9/10)

Lovely super-fresh green - yes you can certainly smell the ivy and the green pepper, but I also get cabbage leaves as well! Can't smell any florals, it's all green. A wonderfully refreshing perfume for hot days.

The other reviewers have described this fragrance so well....It's hard to add anything else! Suffice to say that I really like it! mainly due to the natural charm of it. The first in the Diptyque line to be tried by me and on to the next! so far so good!

UPDATE: half an hour later and I have to admit, it is smelling a little like the water that flowers have sat in for a few days..... don't like this part!

Summer in bottle. Freshly cut grass together with the way earth smells when it's heated up in hot summer day. Very special, very green, earthy and natural. Very comforting and "happy" perfume. Makes me think of lazy summer afternoons in countryside, sleeping on grass, sunbathing, the sun is shining, the grass and earth smells lovely, the air is fresh and warm. You sleep with your eyes shut and inhale and somehow feel the part of it - summer, lazyness, no worries, pure pleasure.
Eau de lierre have captured it, it's very special.
I don't even want to talk about notes, because they do not matter, only what feeling have they made is what matters.

Juicy green leave just been cut in halves, newly moaned lawn, sunny lazy afternoon along the river are just some of the scenes that instantly jumped into my head upon first application of Eau de Lierre. In the beginning, I can’t really smell any significant floral scent, everything is green as in lush, fresh green vegetation in natural kinda green smell. It is my first time finding a floral green scent smell nice, unpretentious, not that intimidating (as appose to Chanel No.19 etc).

Later on, the floral part of the perfume blooms. It’s nice and shy, a little bit powdery, and really discreet. Somehow it reminds me of Daisy by Marc Jacobs, not in the actual scent way( I actually nearly hate Daisy due to some weird cold headache-inducing factor in it, while I like Eau de Lierre a lot), but similar in the theme, the essence- imagining a sunny, girly innocent, meadowy, scented scentless way.

The dry down is to die for, it becomes a skin scent at this stage. Despite what’s listed here in the notes, what I can smell is like a mixture of little bit honey sweetness infused with wood and a tiny tiny bit musk creaminess. Unless you press you nose near your wrist, you won’t really notice much of the scent.

The reviewer below me mentioned Eau de Lierre is similar to L’eau D’Issey, but to my nose, they are totally different, yes they might smell clean, fresh, but as someone who can’t tolarent floral aquatic, and had headaches from L’eau D’Issey’s aquatic milky echo-y smell; I would strongly suggest anyone, who doesn’t have the chemistry exactly right with L’eau D’Issey, to give Eau de Lierre a try.

Eau de Lierre is definitely a wonderful quite scent to try on, recommended.

What an elegant fresh woody summer perfume! The closest to my old favourite L'eau D'Issey than I ve ever smelled in the drydown!!!Absolutely love it! If you like white florals with green, citruslike top notes and a woody, velvety, creamy drydown then it could be something for u. The difference to Issey maybe is the rosewood and geranium which is a stunning alternative. That should be my summer hit from now on! Anyway if you hate L'eau D'issey you ll sure not love this one either...
