As part of Diptyque's 50th anniversary celebration, Fleur de Peau is meant to turn back the clock to the 1960's, and one of the counterculture's most beloved scents- musk. Warm, sweet, and deeply sensual, the musk oils of the 60's were more powerful than subtle, so how then to update that classic feeling for today's grown-up, yet nostalgic, audience? By wedding a gorgeous bouquet of various musks to a beautiful, iris-driven floral heart, Fleur de Peau has us in awe of its sophisticated, subtle, musky perfection.

The musks at the core of Fleur de Peau are, simply put, heavenly- a divine combination of notes both cotton-soft and rich, light and soapy-given an extra element of sparkle with a perfect amount of aldehydes.

A beautiful iris note- a bit powder, a bit paper, a touch of woodsy earth, but primarily clean- blends with a fruity, gently ambery ambrette seed, and ambergris further extends a rich, mineralic tone that deepens the musks without displacing them. All together, it creates a skin scent with much complexity, the kind of fragrance that will bring you back to your wrist countless times over the scent's impressive lifespan. It's a trip both forwards and backwards in time, a scent that celebrates the past with the sophistication of the future- and really, what could be more perfect for Diptyque's 50th anniversary? Musk lovers- your perfect skin scent has arrived.

Here's what other people are saying about Fleur de Peau...

Breathtaking “your skin but better” scent. If you hate powdery scents, then this might not be for you; however, the dry down turns into a different scent and it smells even better, and I didn’t know that that was possible! Musky, clean, iris scent that smells like a person who knows what they want.

This is a floral/pink peppery, delicate, puffy, fluffy, cloud like, elegant, and extremely soft skin scent. I have to say, no other perfume I own has stopped as many people wondering what I was wearing. The sillage and resilience go hand in hand, and at least on me, it lasts a good 7-8 hours. Now, It is certainly subtle enough to be worn to the office, but also fiercely sultry and sensual to wear on date night. A subtle statement, oh but it makes a statement!

Special scent! Very interesting, hard to describe but has become my favorite one. Good for a calm, contemplative mood.

After settling into my skin, the scent was amazing. I can't use this without at least 1 person stopping me to ask what I'm wearing or just to say "wow you smell great!" Definitely a nostalgic musky scent, very femme, light powder, I don't detect fruit. It's long lasting. As you wear it, the scent doesn't necessarily change, but just becomes softer. I use during day and night, it has become my signature scent. I only wish it was made into a soap and body creme for layering.

A pleasant woody musky skin scent. It does not grab me or impress me with a unique vision, and smells a bit modern synth-y to me. A bit perfume-y and leans slightly femme, I'd say. Well-balanced.

I was just in the diptyque store on Madison Avenue and got to sample this. It was stunning in the store from the bottle. They gave me a sample and it's not wow-ing me like the bottle spray. The sample is laying flat on my skin although I pick up the notes of rose and musk and the new ambrette accord. It was dirtier in the store--I thought I had found my new L'Autre but alas, it seems to be something else. I'll try it again.
