Bottle drawn in the shade of the fragrance
Orphéon
Eau de toilette
An early evening at the Orphéon bar, between green mandarin and cedarwood.
Orphéon tells of a place dear to Diptyque's founders: a late-night bar in the Latin Quarter, next door to their first shop, where people came to hear jazz as night fell, in the 1960s.
Green mandarin sparkles there, lifted by the liveliness of juniper berries, then cedarwood answers it, vibrant. A fresh, cheerful woody fragrance, like a conversation coming to life.

Orphéon in detail
Diptyque was born in 1961 on the boulevard Saint-Germain in Paris. Orphéon pays tribute to a place from its early days: a historic late-night bar in the Latin Quarter, next door to the first shop, where the founders liked to meet at nightfall, to the sound of jazz.
The house cites three notes without classing them by tier. Green mandarin brings a sparkling freshness, lifted by the liveliness of slightly resinous juniper berries. Cedarwood answers it, vibrant and dry, and gives the whole a woody backbone.
Orphéon can be worn from spring to autumn, by day or in the early evening: an aperitif, a concert, an evening out with friends.
Three woody fragrances in our catalogue come close: Bosco by Sospiro shares mandarin and juniper berries; Decision 42 by Amouage pairs juniper berries and cedarwood in a smoky register; Drunk Lovers by Born To Stand Out finds cedarwood again at the base of a more liqueur-like composition.
