Diptyque's Vetyverio

Straight back to the shallow, and my dream scent. Diptyque's Vetyverio is as hard to describe as it is to spell. It smells like the inside of a wooden box with a velvet lining that's been buried in the woods for weeks, but in the best possible way.



Woefully expensive (£48 from Space NK), but worth it when you can't work out why people keep looking at you on the street. I thought I had a smudge on my face yesterday, and then a man at a bus stop turned, thoughtfully, and said "you smell amazing". Thanks, Diptyque.

  4. Wow, that's some compliment! I've always looked at the bottle but never sniffed it (is sniffed the right word??). I recently got a gin/rosewater perfume and I love when people mention it :)

  6. Ooh, I'm looking for a new perfume! I'll have to investigate Space NK.

    I need something a bit more sophisticated than fabric softener...

  7. I've heard only good things about the perfumes in Space NK - Especially the Apothecary range. But I've never sniffed (definitely the right word) because you always have to ask for them - there are never any out on the counter. Then I feel obliged to tell the shop person what I think, ask for another one, do it all over again - I don't like the forced interaction at the best of times, but especially when it comes to perfume.

  8. You need to head to the Tottenham Court Road one, Siany - the perfumes are all out and you can just try them on! Honestly, the Vetyverio is the hot hot sex.
