by Diptyque
Florabellio Eau de Toilette by Diptyque is a highly distinctive, unisex aquatic floral fragrance that combines sea salt, delicate apple blossom, and subtle roasted coffee and sesame notes. It opens with a crisp, saline marine note that feels fresh and slightly artificial, not unlike a warm, sunlit beach breeze. The initial complexity can feel dissonant to some, with fennel lending a sharp, aromatic undercurrent that many describe as unusual or even unsettling. As it settles, the scent grows softer and more intimate, becoming a quietly evocative skin scent with a lingering salty floral sweetness. The coffee and sesame notes are not overwhelming but are present enough to contribute aromatic depth and a slightly nutty warmth, especially in the drydown. Longevity is moderate, lasting several hours on most skin types, but it tends to evaporate quickly and project only modestly—making it more suitable for daytime wear, particularly in spring or summer. It’s widely appreciated by fans of niche aquatic scents, reminiscent of clean, sun-drenched coastal days, and particularly cherished by those who enjoy quiet, naturalistic perfumes that feel both personal and quietly poetic.
