Diva Pépite is a refined, lighter interpretation of the original Diva, retaining the iconic vintage glamour but with a more accessible, elegant profile. It opens with a vibrant blend of mandarin and tuberose, delivering a juicy, intoxicating burst that softens into a soft, powdery floral heart. The core notes—rose, ylang-ylang, iris, and sandalwood—create a warm, slightly balsamic chypre backbone, enhanced by vanilla and a subtle honeyed sweetness. The dry down reveals a luscious, soft creaminess with a polished, dusty powdery finish, evoking old Hollywood elegance. Despite being a softer version, it maintains strong projection and longevity, making it suitable for evening wear or cooler seasons, where its rich, layered richness truly shines. The scent is often compared to Magie Noire, Paloma Picasso, and classic Chanel chypres, with a powder-dusted opulence that lingers beautifully.
