The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Launched by Diptyque in 2001, Ôponé is a Woody Chypre fragrance that marries the warmth of spicy accords with the richness of rose and leather. The composition opens with fresh and warm spices that create an immediate sense of depth, leading into a heart of floral notes that are both delicate and assertive. The base layers in woody and metallic undertones, giving Ôponé its distinctive edge and longevity.

How to wear it

Ôponé's longevity means that two sprays are sufficient to ensure its rich presence throughout the day. The moderate sillage keeps it close to the skin, making it ideal for more intimate settings or cooler weather when you want a fragrance that speaks softly but clearly.
