Collection: Diptyque

Tam Dao: eau de toilette or eau de parfum?

Here is a comparison only a decant can settle properly. Tam Dao Eau de Toilette is the airy, cedar and sandalwood original, light enough for a summer office. Tam Dao Eau de Parfum is creamier and sits much closer to the skin for longer. Spray one on each wrist from two 2 ml Diptyque samples and you will know within a day which version belongs on your shelf. Decant Sample lists 17 Diptyque references, most of them unisex.

A Parisian collection in small doses

Do Son Eau de Parfum is a clean, sea breeze tuberose and the most feminine of the group. Eau Duelle Eau de Parfum is a dry, spicy vanilla for autumn. Orphéon Eau de Parfum mixes juniper and tonka into something quietly glamorous. The lighter eaux, Eau Rose among them, are perfect for a Diptyque decant in 5 ml: easy to wear, easy to use up.

Diptyque decants: frequently asked questions

Which Diptyque sample is best for a first order?

Tam Dao Eau de Parfum for woods, Do Son Eau de Parfum for florals, Eau Duelle Eau de Parfum for warmth. Three 2 ml vials cover the main moods of the house and tell you far more than guessing with a single full bottle.

Do Son or Eau Rose for spring?

Eau Rose is fresher and fruitier, a transparent rose that suits mornings and warm days. Do Son Eau de Parfum is a fuller white floral with more presence for evenings. Many customers alternate the two from a pair of 5 ml decants right through to June.

How much of a 10 ml Diptyque decant will I use per wear?

For an eau de toilette, plan on three or four sprays, so roughly 25 wears from 10 ml. For an eau de parfum, two sprays are usually enough, which stretches the same vial to around 50 wears. Both are plenty to decide on a bottle.
