Fragrance family: Floral

Key notes: Damask rose, centifolia rose, litchi, ambroxan

After deep-diving into Rosie Huntington-Whiteley's Instagram, we spotted a post of her bag which included Diptyque's Eau Rose eau de toilette, which features velvety damascena and centifolia roses but is kept fresh by encompassing the green freshness of rose leaves and the stem—it's like stepping into a florists and being surrounded by freshly cut roses. It's a great year-round scent that works for both daytime and evening.

Key notes: Fig leaves, fig tree sap, fig tree wood, black pepper

Philosykos is definitely one of the best-known Diptyque perfumes with a loyal legion of fans in the beauty industry. This fig scent makes you feel like you're wandering through a grove of fig trees, with the sweet creaminess of the fruit balanced with the earthiness of the tree bark and the freshness of green fig leaves.

In fact, Victoria Beckham told The Cut that she's also a fan of Diptyque's fig scents, and burns the Figuier candle in her flagship store in London. "Diptyque’s Figuier Vert candle has become our signature fragrance—everyone who walks in always talks about the amazing smell of the store, and that’s just because of the candle. I love the warmth of fig wood so much," she said. So, it's likely that she's also a fan of Philoskyos as a personal fragrance, too.

Editor Review: "I am always drawn to the woody yet sweet notes of fig," says Who What Wear UK's senior fashion and beauty editor, branded content, Rebecca Rhys-Evans. "Philosykos is a favourite not only because of its distinctively green, almost milky undertones, but because it was my signature scent when I met my partner," she says.

Managing editor Poppy Nash is also a fan: "To me, it feels fresh, warm but not too sweet or sickly, and it instantly reminds me of my mum, who has been burning the Diptyque Figuier at home since before I can remember. So it makes sense then that Philosykos, with notes of fig leaves, fig tree sap and fig tree wood, is my favourite Diptyque fragrance," she says.

Key Notes: Tuberose, orange blossom, jasmine, marine accord

If you have a penchant for creamy white florals, then you'll love Do Son. In fact it's also one of Kate Moss's favourite Diptyque perfumes. Talking to WWD, she said, "So now, my perfume of choice is Do Son by Diptyque."

Its fresh yet creamy tuberose and jasmine notes combined with floral orange blossom make this scent so pretty and ideal for springtime and summer months. For light and breezy scent, it has impressive staying power too, and it always gets me compliments when I wear it. It's the ultimate creamy floral scent.

Fragrance Family: Chypre

Key Notes: Rose, bergamot, patchouli, pink peppercorns

This perfume always has strangers chasing me to ask what scent I'm wearing. It is a deep and mysterious rose scent that is far from powdery, unlike many other rose perfumes. I'd describe it as a moody, sexy take rose, which is perfectly complemented with earthy patchouli, bergamot and pink peppercorns. It's the most hypnotic and sultry rose scent I've ever tried. I love wearing this for the evening as the scent really radiates from the skin, so it often gets me noticed by those nearby.

Key Notes: Orange blossom, angelica root, patchouli, juniper berry

Editor review: "I was always a fair-weather perfume fan, switching my scent up every time I came to the end of the bottle. That was until I discovered Diptyque Sens a few years ago and I haven't even bothered trying another scent since," says Who What Wear UK senior shopping editor, Emily Dawes. "It's fresh and citrusy, without being too sweet or girly (I always like my fragrances to smell unisex), and in my opinion, it works just as well in high summer as it does in the depths of autumn and winter."

Fragrance family: Woody

Key notes: Tonka beans, cedar, juniper berries

Editor review: "No one does autumnal scents quite like Diptyque, and this particular fragrance has become my favourite perfume of all time," says Who What Wear UK beauty director, Shannon Lawlor. "Blended as an ode to the Parisian bar, Orphéon is powdery, smoky and totally unique. The only way I can describe it is it's as if you're wandering the beauty aisles of Harrods and you walk past a counter full of makeup powders and perfume. It's that level of rich and inviting."

Key notes: Sandalwood, cedar, cypress, myrtle

Tam Dao is one of Diptyque's best sellers. It's woodier than Philosykos and really leans into the warmth of cedar and the creamiest of sandalwood. Thanks to these notes, it also makes it long-lasting. It's a very chic fragrance and also feels very grounding to wear.

Fragrance Family: Aromatic

Key Notes: Patchouli, geranium, mint, rose

I remember the first time that I smelled this scent and how taken aback I was by how beautiful a mint fragrance could smell. To me, it reminds me of freshly picked herbs from the garden, muddled together with earthy patchouli, vibrant geranium and garden roses. 

Fragrance family: Floral

Key notes: Ylang-ylang, pink peppercorn, ginger, vetiver

Ylang-ylang is a beloved note in many perfumes, so it's no surprise it's the star of this fragrance. It's floral but has a subtle hit of spice and green woodiness which makes it so addictive.

Fragrance Family: Oriental

Key Notes: Vanilla, pink peppercorn, cypriol, calamus

Think vanilla, but the most complex and expensive-smelling vanilla. Eau Duelle's key note is steered away from becoming too saccharine by the anchoring effect of smoky cypiol, pink peppercorn and cinnamon-like calamus.

Editor review: "I'm not normally drawn to vanilla-based scents, but the way this blend combines the sweet vanilla with spicy peppercorn is so compelling and addictive," says Who What Wear UK contributor and freelance beauty editor, Grace Day." It's also such a potent scent—I find it lingers on my skin, hair, and clothes for hours after spritzing."

Fragrance family: Floral

Key notes: Rose, black currant buds, petitgrain, blackcurrant leaves

This one is a little floral, a little fruity and a little bit herbaceous, which makes it unusual but all the more wonderful. Diptyque say this scent is inspired by summer slumbers by the river, and it really has captured that whimsical daydream feeling of summer days.

Fragrance Family: Floral

Key Notes: geranium, cardamom, tonka bean, vetiver

This one is cosy with a floral twist. The fresh geranium contrasted with warm, soft notes is a surprising combination, but like all Diptyque concoctions, it totally works.

Fragrance Family: Floral

Key Notes: Musk, iris, ambrettolide, pink peppercorn

This award-winning fragrance quite literally translates as "flower of the skin" and it really does smell skin-like thanks to the addition of musk and ambretteolide. This is the kind of perfume that you'll want to bury your nose in time and time again.

Fragrance family: Woody

Key notes: White musks, rice, mimosa, and blonde woods accord

Diptyque L'eau Papier is easily in my top three top Diptyque fragrances that just so happens to get me a lot of compliments too. Inspired by paper, it's smooth, musky, woodsy and becomes at one with your skin. The rice steam accord gives it a fluffy sweetness that makes it all the more addictive as it dries down into a smooth woodsy base of blonde wood and skin-like musk.

Editor Review: "Although I love switching out perfumes depending on my mood or outfits, during seemingly unending writing weeks, I love reaching for this scent with it's deep notes, which are reminiscent of perfume my aunties and mother would douse themselves in," says Who What Wear UK contributor and freelance beauty editor Ata-Owaji Victor." Plus it's uberly fitting name that makes writing feel like whirlwind love affair."

Fragrance family: Fruity/Floral

Key notes: Prickly pear, bergamot, jasmine and iris

Ilio is a limited edition Diptyque scent that you can only buy in the summertime, but it's well worth waiting for. Imagine the smell of sun-kissed skin, a breeze of powdery iris and a squeeze of a perfectly ripe pear picked straight from sun-dappled trees. It's the most beautiful summertime scent that will instantly transport you on holiday to a Greek island. If I could only describe it with one word, it would be mouthwatering.

Editor review: "It smells like that first bite into a juicy pear while watching the sun go down behind the sparkling sea," says Who What Wear UK junior beauty editor, Grace Lindsay. "Each note manages to be fresh and sweet while still remaining warm and comforting. Most of all, it reminds me of evenings spent on holidays with loved ones, and who doesn't want to smell like that?"

Fragrance family: Wood

Key notes: Coffee, sandalwood, tonka bean, amber

Every single fragrance from Diptyque's latest collection, Les Essences De Diptyque, is so precious. But, if I had to choose a favourite, it would be Bois Corsé. This unique take is inspired by wood bark and blends wood with black coffee and sweet tonka bean, making this a cosy, autumn and winter scent that I can't help but keep smelling—it's so addictive. It's a little nutty, smooth and creamy thanks to the sandalwood. It's a great choice if you like woody perfumes, but prefer the vibe of sitting by a cosy fireplace as opposed to a walk in the forest.
