Fresh as a newly laundered pinafore, sweet as a songbird serenade– this delightfully true rendition of freesia makes you feel like a garden is magically springing to life in your footsteps. After the brisk, unexpectedly peppery opening, Ofresia blooms on your skin in a blissfully accurate manner. Like many scents in the Diptyque line, it gives the uncanny impression that the entire plant has been absorbed into the fragrance, including the green leaves, the sap-filled stems and the roots in the damp rich earth. But of course, center stage belongs the delicate and airy scent of the freesia blossoms. Clean and linear – it manages to be both straightforward and enchanting, which is no small feat.
