The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Olene Eau de Toilette by Diptyque was launched in 1988 and is crafted by perfumer Serge Kalouguine. This fragrance offers a delicate balance of white floral, green notes, and freshness that captures the essence of a Parisian garden at its most serene moment. The composition opens with a vibrant blend of narcissus and honeysuckle before settling into a heart of jasmine and wisteria. These floral notes are complemented by an underlying layer of green accents, creating a fresh and airy atmosphere.

How to wear it

For best effect, apply this fragrance sparingly to pulse points — it blooms over time and can feel overpowering if layered too heavily. The green notes will carry through the day, making it a perfect choice for daytime wear.
