r/diptyque

I initially have the Orphéon - Surprise set and when I added Eau Rose 75ml holiday EDP in my cart, it gave me few extra freebies (the tree ornaments and Sapin mini candle). I left it there overnight but felt too expensive for me to buy both so I decided this morning that I will just buy the Orpheon surprise set since the 30ml EDP + a perfumed handcream for that price doesn't always come often. I'm ordering from Norway so the retail price is more expensive because of VAT + shipping. I removed the Eau Rose EDP and to my surprise, the remaining freebies are still there. Felt too good to be true. I hope they actually ship these and not cancel the entire order. 🙈

Felt like my collection has been particularly dreamy looking lately and wanted to show it off :) My most recent acquisitions are Radio Bombay and 34 Boulevard Saint Germain both from secondary market but luckily both authentic. Especially thrilled with 34 Boulevard Saint Germain - a criminally underrated Diptyque and such an old-money European-y fall scent. I would love to hear your thoughts/comments/observations or questions about any of these scents!

I actually like it, but I can’t un-smell that clean, fresh, almost baby-cologne vibe. I’m usually not a huge fan of citrusy scents, except for a few, so this isn’t normally the kind of fragrance I would go for. But somehow it feels really nostalgic 🥹 When I was little in the Dominican Republic, I used to go to church and I basically never left the house without my cologne on. I’ve been living in Italy for 24 years now, so it’s kind of nice that one scent can suddenly bring back those little memories ✨ Has a perfume ever taken you straight back to childhood?

I have an older bottle of Sens that was no longer spraying. Purchased travel atomizers to try and transfer, but just no suction... Only a slow leak when shaken and sprayed upside down.

I reached out to customer service and they handled the situation appropriately. No direction in regards to repair, but replacement after proper proof. But, I still had this partial bottle of toilette that I didn't want to retire as 'display' or man handle when I wanted to dab it on.

For whatever reason I couldn't find anybody opening the bottle of diptyque specifically for transfer, so wanted to share and hopefully save someone else in the same situation.

The black plate can be left as is. I bent and removed it as I wasn't sure what to expect and was going at it blind... If you want to save the bottle for display then leave her.

The spray top cap easily pops off which exposes the tube. Grab the top edge of the black housing with pliers and that will lift off with a bit of pull and wiggle.

The actual seal is very well done on the bottle. All my flatheads were too large to get under and lift, and I didn't want to break the glass. So plan b was to start picking off the aluminum seal at the top where there was no direct glass contact. Little by little enough was removed that the pressure of the spring finally released, and the inner works of the atomizer could easily pull out. Once disassembled I could see a massive crack which explains the lack of suction to pull up the liquid.

I then had an exposed bottle to pour the product into a new bottle, and was left with an empty bottle that I can repurpose.
