The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2019 by Diptyque, Eau Capitale Eau de Parfum is a chypre floral composition crafted by perfumer Olivier Pescheux. The fragrance opens with the bright sparkle of bergamot and pink pepper before settling into a heart of rose that blends seamlessly with earthy patchouli and warm spices. This interplay between freshness and depth creates a scent that feels both modern and lasting, fitting for Diptyque's legacy of elegant and sophisticated fragrances.
Eau Capitale blooms gradually on the skin, so a single generous spray is sufficient. The rose and patchouli base notes emerge after an hour, making it ideal for evening wear when you want a scent that evolves with your mood.
