Eau de Lierre Diptyque for women

This is a nice perfume, very strong green, ivy scent. I like to wear it mixed with Philosykos as it tends to tone down the strong ivy scent. Great for summer as it is refreshing and like most of the other Diptyque perfumes, does not give me a headache no matter how much I spray on. Very easy to wear if you like green perfumes.
Update: the more I wear this perfume, the more I love it. It is so clean, watery and fresh that it makes me feel like I have just stepped out of the shower. Very pretty for every day of the year, I will have to buy the 100 ml bottle as I only have the 50 ml and I can see myself wearing this a lot.

I like this one so much better than L'Ombre dans Leau - that one is just too strong and overpowering for me - it cloys on my skin whereas, Eau de Lierre is so beautiful I can smell it all day and night and does not make me feel sick.

it smells as fresh and green and dry as some Ivy crawling all over a cold stone wall on the shaded side of the house.... if you can imagine that scent, it's exactly that! Quite lovely and refreshing!

Oh dear. Could someone buy this for me, like a bathtub-worth of it, and emerge me in it?!
WONDERFUL. It's so wonderful, it's hard to express for me. I get the green, woodsy notes, but I also get the creamy musk and slightly sweet floral notes balanced with green pepper. This scent quenches your thirst, it's so airy and juicy, like the most refreshing water you could ever drink.

It also strangely reminds me of fresh laundry that dried in the sunlight, that wonderful smell of the cotton that absorbed sunshine and summer wind, that's in the drydown.
It's such a divine blend, a wonderful scent for a 25+ year old, who wants to stay away from all of the sweet traps of vanilla-like mainstream smells or is looking for something else than 'fresh citrus'.
It's sparkling, elegant, fresh and VERY memorable. I absolutely love it.

A few reviewers here complain about Eau de Lierre's lasting power. I sprayed this on my wrist six hours ago and it's still there. That said, it stays close to the skin. This is a dark vegetal, tart scent that reminds me childhood days out of doors, crushing plants under a stone to find out what they smell like, the bitter greenness rising up, intriguing and slightly dangerous: what might it taste like?

Update: Eau de Lierre works in a temperate climate, but I wonder if those dark, bitter/sour ivy notes would be bearable otherwise. After wearing it for a whole day, I haven't felt tempted to apply it since.

now this smells like sexy cut grass. tying bond no. 9's bleecker st for the freshest lawn in the biz lol. i LOVE this one. the pepper is not overdone (ahem marc jacobs "bang") and is actually sleek and sexy...you wont be choking people out. and as stated in the other reviews....the dry down is DELICIOUS.

So I just sprayed some of this on my arm and have my nose buried in it while typing - I have a very long nose.

Let me start by stating that this is NOT a feminine scent. This is also NOT a masculine scent. It is an experiential scent. So gentlemen I know it is listed as a Feminine scent but do not hesitate in sampling this work of art. I'm sure many of you will be surprised and love it.

The top of this juice starts off really wet and peppery. I'm not talking water accord wet, but instead a real wetness. My arm - the one I sprayed a few minutes ago (I type slow) is absolutely dry but I get this fragrance of wetness lofting off ever so gently. Then there is the pepper, but more about after the star of the show - the Ivy. And what an Ivy it is! It's not a generic Ivy scent but more the experience of Ivy. You can see the wetness of the green leaves. It's fresh Ivy and it's young Ivy. It's early May Ivy in the morning while the sun has just begun to rise - Ivy that's still on the vine. It is slightly cool but that's where the pepper comes in - the warm pepper neutralizes some of the cool sharpness. Warms it a bit. Like standing in the exterior doorway of a warm house while a cool breeze rushes over half your face - a beautiful play of cool and warm. But just as the first breath of freshness when opening that back garden door begins to fade an immediate drizzle of wet mortar behind the Ivy begins to radiate into the air. It doesn't smell like mortar but instead evokes the wetness of stone.

This is no typical green scent - it has 'space' to it. It is not a 'closed intimate room' but an atrium garden with potted plants and a little meandering stone walkway. It has openness but is enclosed like a garden with half-height brick walls. Too small for a large tree but open to a sunless sky.

I agree totally with Sofiii on the drydown. It is a soft skin scent - the scent you might have on your skin after lifting raked maple leaves which have absorbed some soil scent into a paper bag.

Now that I think of it - it is more the experience of the garden and how nice the garden makes you feel after working in it.

If you enjoy freshly cut crass scent, light musc and fresh air - this is right for you. It slightly reminds me of Angeliques sous la Pluie: same idea of fresh and natural light scent. One problem: Eau de Lierre is extremely subtle and may appear very watered down to some noses. I guess, it's perfect for people who do not like strong and overly "perfumey" fragrances, but still want to be lightly scented.

The most graceful and slender woman (Audrey Hepburn or Grace Kelly type)eating a green salad just picked from the garden with very little condiments should smell like this. Elven folk can still dwell among us in the concrete jungle protected by this amulet (I suspect both A.H and G.K were).
Green comes first in this and floral and musky nuances are there to bind it on skin. Any woman that can pull this off is worth loving (this is a hint to my ex who hated it).

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...
