ESSENCES INSENSEES by DIPTYQUE (2014)

I might be wrong but this smelled to me, on first sniff, like a lamb chop, topped with mimosa, and tossed, forlornly, in a field of grass.

    Sounds delightful :/ I personally would prefer wet ferret and strawberry parfait…actually that MIGHT actually smell interesting.
    Diptyque has been latting me down fragrance wise for a while now. Too bad, but at least the candles are still glorious.

      As I say, I am not sure. This one is very expensive, and has a very real and natural mimosa note ( I love mimosa.)

      I could swear I could smell mutton though as I was walking along ( unless I happened to have been walking by a Greek or Turkish restaurant).

      Why?

      Are you not fond of a basted sheep note in your perfume?

        Lol. I was sorely tempted by that bottle. I’m relieved the fragrance sounds so un-tempting

        No I actually feel quite guilty for posting this. My first impression was ‘gorgeous mimosa’ and I’ve no idea what led me down the muttonesque path.

        It was Duncan’s birthday!

        I was only smelling it on a piece of card!

        How dare I be so bloody flippant!

    I don’t know about anyone else, but I will take a skanky skunky note over a basted sheep note in my perfume!

    I remember trying this one. Recently. I don’t remember any animals. But I don’t remember much anything about this perfume so I won’t argue the lamb ; -)

    Haha, just found this! It’s lovely (I have a bottle) and it’s beeswax, not mutton! Philistine. Bees are the small buzzy ones, sheep are far away…
