Middle Notes
Base Notes
smells like sweet lime and mandarin,very nice,great for summer.Very natural
This is exactly peeling like peeling a mandrin and eating it. The main note in this is a very natrual sweet juicy mandrin.
I also get some hints of lemon and lime but they never overlap the mandrin. This scent also could have been called madarin Oranage and no one would argue.
This scent also has a light creamy vibe and some feint woods to support the scent. Very fresh and in my opinion one of the best citrus fragrances i have ever smelt. I have tried the hermes orange vert, some acqua di parma and some frederic malle scents that also have good citruss scents but to me this is the one.
As soon as i smelt this scent it took me to my childhood, when i used to really enjoy being out with my freinds in the summer heat. This fragrance just makes me happy. sillage is very good and lasting power is 4-6 hours than stays close to the skin. quite expensive £48 for a 50ml but does smell natural and expensive. Very modern unnisex scent, the scent itself is very straight forward and will not keep you guessing like some other fragrances.
But having said that What you do get is a simple amazing smell.
Scent 8/10
Diptyque OYEDO is a fresh citrus scent featuring petit grain or agrumes, it seems to me. This composition bears resemblance to some of the offerings of the house of Fresh. An inviting, natural-smelling citrus cologne with a touch of vetiver and perfect for warm weather. I must be anosmic to whatever is inspiring all of the shout-outs of "odd!" "strange!" and "weird!" To my nose, there is nothing revolutionary or earthshattering here at all, just a typical niche citrus creation made with high-quality components.
Many niche offerings strike me as similar to ice cream, offering variations on familiar, comfortable themes but using high-quality ingredients. No one is inventing anything radically new in the ice cream world at this point in time. The idea or, if you will, Platonic Form of ice cream is well-established, and we often find ourselves drawn to the classics. Although gourmet “innovators” may try to convince us that we want to eat basil or chickpea gelato, and those savory flavors may work well served as a small part of a larger presentation, the truth is that sometimes we just want a big bowl of good old-fashioned vanilla or chocolate ice cream well made. It's not a demerit to anyone's mind—and least of all their taste buds or tummy—that the best ice creams around are all copies of flavors that have been around for a very long time.
The same story holds, mutatis mutandis, for citrus colognes such as OYEDO, IMNSHO. This one works just fine—for what it is.
Lol at the previous review. Oyedo is strange indeed. Very strong, nose clearing citruses that burst in and clash with what I now see is actually caraway. But the first time that I smelled it I got the impression of a dark pine forest and wild strawberries that grow in it. Go figure. I felt as though they made the notes intentionally contrasting and compete with each other. It smells almost medicinal at some point.
It's not unpleasant, just very unusually combined, or rather compiled notes.
Respect to you, the bold wearer of such an uncommon and strong perfume!
This is weird! Citruses in a bizarre, odd, almost unpleasant accord. Nothing really disturbing but way too strange. It's like they've lost control while executing the original recipe and everybody got drunk at the Diptyque factory.
- "Oh My god, was it a 2 or a 20 on the measuring cap?"
- "which cap?"
- "Forget It"
Rating: 8/10 (because it's sooo bizarre and unique)
6/10 (because I find it unwearable)
Extremely fresh and citrusy and delicious. My only complaint is that it fades into nothingness SO quickly on my skin. After an hour or two, I can't smell it anymore. Keep a vial of it with you to touch up during the day if you want it to last.
I tried this one at 6.p.m.- by 8.30p.m. - it absolutely disappeared.
Just a little lemon touch, that's all.
I wonder, if I did the same with a sqeesed lemon on my skin, it would be the same.
Dig your nails deep into a tangerine & sniff the bitter oils that burst from the pitted skin.
Place a bowl of mandarine segments in syrup in the sun to warm & then slurp them up.
Pop a bubble of citrus-fresh washing up liquid.
Open a 3-peel & caraway seed hot-cross-bun & breathe in the orange-scented steam.
Now rev up the intensity of these experiences & triple the mandarin juice content . . . this is what the juicy, fruity wake-up scent, Oyedo, is all about!
Forget about the woods (what woods?) & don't worry much about the caraway....it is as if Diptyque popped a whole mandarin in each bottle, peel pulp & all. The whole fruit & nothing but the fruit. It avoids being cutsey, girly or frooty because this oddity is sour, bitter & real.
Wearing Oyedo is an interesting experience...my mouth even watered! But who wants to masquerade as a mandarin?
Detergent people are always thinking of something new for people to buy, however pointless it may be. Say, for example, cotton-candy-scented fabric softener. "Yeah, great idea, let’s make a sticky-sweet-synthetic-citrus-fresh fabric softener. But guess what, we'll test-market it as a niche fragrance." This was designed by one sick puppy of a nose. On the drydown it gets to smell like very hops-heavy beer spilled over a barroom floor the preceding night. Actually, that is nearly an improvement. One of the all-time lows of niche perfumery
i was looking for a nice orange scent for a long time, i tested perfumes from Hermés, Aqua di Parma, Fragonard, Serge Lutens, Nicolai etc.
But this one i really liked best!! it has a full bouquet and not too much woody spices. its a nice orange parfume!
