Perfume Name
Eau Capitale
About This Fragrance
Diptyque created Eau Capitale as a tribute to Paris, the city where the house was born. The many facets of a chypre accord echo the many faces of the city. Artwork inspired by Parisian architecture and Art Nouveau brings together an Eiffel Tower, roses, a peacock and flowing lines.
Scent Profile
The four official key notes are rose, bergamot, patchouli and pink peppercorn. An abundant rose bouquet meets citrus brightness and a light peppery bite, while patchouli supplies the deeper chypre character. Official descriptions in different languages do not give a consistent sequence or account of moss, so the four named materials offer a clearer way to understand the fragrance than a fixed progression.
Who It's For
Eau Capitale suits someone looking for a generous rose with a bright citrus and spice edge. Cool spring or autumn hours are sensible times to try it. Some wearers find the opening strong or the scent weighty in warmer weather, making a skin test useful before deciding how much to apply.
