EAU DE LIERRE by Diptyque, created by Fabrice Pellegrin and launched in 2006, explores the most expressive, polished side of the green olfactory world. In this Eau de Toilette, ivy becomes the central thread of a fragrance that suggests living nature, fresh sap, unfolding leaves and a distinctly elegant sense of freshness rather than a literal botanical effect.
The opening pairs ivy with cyclamen, creating a clear, airy and vividly green introduction. There is something fluid and luminous in the way these notes meet, giving the composition an immediate feeling of movement and refined freshness. From the first moments, the scent feels composed and intentional, with a green signature shaped in a nuanced, sophisticated way.
At the heart, geranium brings an aromatic floral character that blends seamlessly with woody notes and green pepper. This stage adds texture and dimension while preserving the fragrance’s vegetal pulse. The green pepper introduces a bright, lively edge, while the woods provide structure and quiet depth, keeping the composition modern and balanced.
The base unfolds through ambergris, Brazilian rosewood and musk. Together, they create a soft, enveloping finish that extends the fragrance with subtle warmth and a smooth, refined presence. The result is a drydown that feels clean, elegant and gently grounded, supporting the freshness of the opening with greater roundness.
With its floral green profile, EAU DE LIERRE offers a distinctive interpretation of the botanical universe through the lens of fine fragrance. It is a compelling choice for those drawn to natural elegance, contemporary style and a green scent with clarity, sophistication and personality.
