ABOUT THE FRAGRANCE:
To celebrate summer, diptyque transports us to the heart of Mediterranean nature. A land of unspoiled beauty, of scents and colors, the Mediterranean has been a constant source of inspiration for the Maison. From the prickly pears clustering along a narrow cove to the lavender and lemongrass on a terrace at sunset, to smell their scents is to be swept away to a far-off place.
In Greek, the word ilio evokes the sun. For diptyque, it inspired a green, fruity creation that fragrances the skin with summery accents.

The Mediterranean in a Bottle
After discovering this stunning French Perfume House brand I was excited to try one of their fragrances. The beautifully designed bottle by Luke Edward Hall caught my eye immediately, an adorable Mediterranean scene. It only took one spray instore for me to fall in love with it. This scent really does evoke thoughts of a Mediterranean holiday getaway, sunny, floral and fresh. I have found that it's not as long lasting on my skin throughout the day as I hoped but this doesn’t stop me from loving it. Highly recommend.

Perfectly capturing the Mediterranean
Oh, I bought this straight when it released and this is such a beautiful summery scent, perfectly capturing the spirit of the Mediterranean. It reminds me a little bit of the Beauty Pie's Petals, Heliotrope & Ambrette Fragrance. On me it doesn't have a strong sillage and projection, but I've already got quite a few compliments wearing it.

Very nice summer fragrance
This fragrance is perfect for summer; light and airy. I only wish this had better longevity, but that is rather hard to find in most summer fragrances. I will say though, that this scent leans heavily on white flowers on me, so it might be better to try it out first, if you don't like white flowers as much as I do.

Good but there are more special ones
Beautiful soft summer skin-scent. I mostly get jasmine on my skin with very subtle green and citrus touches. To me it is all about the jasmine note really, but I like that. Compared to other Diptyque EDTs this one has descent longevity, but don't expect anything major. Nice one to overspray during the summer months.

Summery scent
This is such a gorgeous scent for summer. I truly love it. I would have given it 5 stars for the scent. But I find that it does not last as long as I would hope for a diptyque scent. And the price point. If that doesn’t bother you and you are happy to spritz away then go for it. It’s summery and unique.

Absolutely beautiful
Diptyque fragrances are very hit and miss for me, despite the overall excellent quality. Many loved by others really don't appeal to me (do son etc) BUT this is just fantastic, fresh, light, summery and delicious. Although it takes me ages to get through a full bottle of any fragrance I hope this ones isn't just kept as a limited edition and joins the main collection.

Summer in a bottle
The gorgeous Luke Edward Hall designed bottle caught my eye and I knew I had to try this. When I did it was love at first spritz - it was everything I hoped it would be! This scent really does smell like a Mediterranean holiday in a bottle - sunny, floral and fresh. It’s not especially long lasting so you do have to top up during the day, but this doesn’t bother me as I love dousing myself in perfume anyway! If you’re thinking about getting this I’d say go for it- I can’t see how anyone wouldn’t love it!

Perfect at first…
I defy anyone not to love a spritz of this. It’s everything you’d want in a summer fragrance and the bottle design captures the scent perfectly. But then you get the dry down and it definitely is not for me. It has a base note that I feel is a real clash with the lightness of the initial scent. So sadly I’ll pass on this.
